Part II of my interview with author and coach, Dick Richards, talking about his latest book, Is Your Genius At Work: 4 Key Questions To Ask Before Your Next Career Move.

This week's outstanding interview is with my friend, Dick Richards. Dick is a friend I have yet to meet in person, as happens when you blog. Dick has been leading the renaissance to renew spirit in workplaces since the publication of his first book, Artful Work, in 1995. He is... Read more →

Today I have a favor to ask. As I noted at the end of yesterday's post, I'm participating in a fund raiser for Muscular Dystrophy. I've contributed to these events in the past, but never participated as I am this week. On Thursday, I'll be "incarcerated" for the afternoon -... Read more →
