Tick Tock, Tick Tock

Steve — Thu, 31 May 2012 11:10:29 +0000

I was talking to one of the tenants in my office park last week and was surprised by the conversation. As I was fixing a ceiling tile in her office we started chatting about one of her favorite subjects (See Chapter 1 of my book Who’s in Charge of You?), and I found out that [...]

Dead Man Kayaking

Steve — Tue, 29 May 2012 11:15:21 +0000

I take pride in the fact that I keep myself in good shape, but little did I know that being “strong” would actually save my life. A few years ago my wife thought it would be a great idea if we went to the mountains and learned how to do something called “sea kayaking.” This [...]

Hookers in School??

Steve — Thu, 24 May 2012 11:27:41 +0000

Every weekday morning I spend 40 minutes driving my kids to their school in the neighboring city. It’s usually the best 40 minutes of my day. Although there are some quiet drives when we are all still a little tired, most of the time the three of us are joking, telling stories and singing to [...]

Serve a Happy Meal

Steve — Tue, 22 May 2012 11:15:02 +0000

Want a quick and easy way to inject some amazing in your life as well as others? The next time you go out to eat with someone make the decision to make it a “Happy Meal.” This is where you sit down and simply make it a game to talk as much about THEM and [...]

Be a Dragon Slayer

Steve — Thu, 17 May 2012 11:00:23 +0000

Last night, a good friend told me an interesting story about how to differentiate yourself in the interview world. Since I’ve trained hundreds of people on this I couldn’t help but be intrigued. My friend was invited out to lunch with some co-workers. The interview prospect for the company was going to accompany them and the [...]

Put the “Who” in “Where”

Steve — Tue, 15 May 2012 11:21:09 +0000

I’ve been fortunate to visit some amazing places in my life. What I’ve found in my travels is that it really isn’t where you are…it’s who you’re with that counts. Being somewhere really amazing but having no one to share it with can make an amazing place a very dull, forgettable and often times sad [...]

Be a Hero

Steve — Thu, 10 May 2012 11:07:15 +0000

Everyone wants to be a hero … me included. I got my opportunity yesterday. My family was walking up a fairly steep sidewalk when a woman at the top of the hill decided it would be great to give her three year old a chance to ride down the hill … by herself! Although the [...]

The Great Circle of Amazing

Steve — Tue, 08 May 2012 11:15:22 +0000

A few years ago some of my friends were surprised to find out my family and I had never travelled outside of the United States. However, in the last couple of years we’ve managed to travel to Europe three times. Remarkably, noone ever asks how in the world we managed to do it. The trick [...]

Nuking Your Family

Steve — Thu, 03 May 2012 11:18:43 +0000

My daughter asked me an interesting question the other day. “Why are most of my friends parents divorced?” As I stood there working out a logical answer to my 12 year olds question, I realized that she was right … most of her friends, and many of mine, have serious parental and marital problems. What [...]

Can You See It In 3D?

Steve — Tue, 01 May 2012 11:30:10 +0000

Do you want more amazing relationships and experiences in your life? When I am giving a speech or a workshop my audiences always say yes to that question, but when I bluntly ask, “How bad do you want it?” I’m often met with a “deer in the headlight” stare since it’s not a question they [...]
