I don’t know whether James Clear is brilliant or just smart. He wrote the book Atomic Habits (very good.) I subscribe to his weekly email. He formats it with a 3-2-1 thing. Three ideas from him. Two quotes from others. One… Continue Reading →
I remember my first DISC training session way way back. Pre-computers. Yeah – you read that right. It was a while ago. I reviewed it a bit before writing this post and it has changed over the years. DISC is… Continue Reading →
I saw the term “non-negotiables” on my Twitter feed today. The context was the current state of working in America has broken some of the things just a few months ago were “non-negotiable.” Working from home, applying for a job… Continue Reading →
I have yet to meet a client who doesn’t want more audience engagement with their marketing, training, and incentive programs. Even if the data said they were getting 100% engagement my clients would still ask, “Can’t you get more?” The… Continue Reading →
What is Behavioral Memory? Something I just made up. I think. I typically google any subject I am going to post about to one – make sure I didn’t post on this topic before (after 16 years of blogging you… Continue Reading →

We have hundreds of choices to make each day. Some are simple like take a shower or not take a shower. Some are much more complex, invest in annuities or get insurance. But for many marketers, the important thing is… Continue Reading →
To paraphrase my father – “Anything worth doing is worth doing simply.” He may have said “is worth doing well” but I think that may be a sub-set of what I wrote. Too often when faced with an objective/goal we… Continue Reading →
I’m sure you laughed when you read that. Heck, I laughed when I wrote it. Think back to the end of 2019. There you are in a conference room or your office (remember those?) reviewing historic sales figures, thinking through… Continue Reading →
