 Looking for Love Since I began doing leadership coaching with Jon Gosselin, I have become more sensitized to the role of “celebrity” in our culture. It creates both the addiction to being known and noticed all the time, and increases the dark side of depression and disappointment when the lights stop flashing.

 I am fascinated by the fact that there are so many words being written on the web, and yet, there are so few real questions being asked. Yesterday I was fortunate to talk with a reporter from TodayShow.com and what a difference!
We had a dialogue! Now, that is not something busy people do anymore. Dialogue is not debate. Debate is when there is a winner and a loser. It was not just plain conversation. Conversation is more about how the hot weather is bothering, or not bothering you, how the folks are, with an answer of “Fine thanks”. It is not even discussion. Discussion gathers points of view and bundles them into groups.

This past week has been fascinating in terms of learning how the media works. It is not so much having something written about me, that has been done and it is always fun to see a book review about “Don’t Bring It to Work” or an article like the one in The Wall Street Journal a month ago.
That is so different from what has happened this week. I was asked to do an interview with radaronline.com. It is not the usual place you will find me. However, there I was talking with a reporter about one of the participants in our Total Leadership Connections program.

 This is a time to really, really look at the meaning of success, of relationship, and in honor of the Fourth of July, of freedom.
Please go to Examiner.com where I am a writer and check out the blog I did about Jon Gosselin who is in our Total leadership Connections program. Jon lives in Pa. and has been on the reality series “Jon and Kate Plus Eight” where we all had the opportunity to watch sextuplet and twin Gosselins grow and flourish.

 I just finished leading a tele-seminar with CTO’s from companies throughout the country.
The theme was about how to be the best, most self aware leaders so they could handle the people part of their job with ease and dignity.

Leadership in the 21st century is truly a team activity. It really does take a group of committed people to make positive change happen. So team collaboration is the best way forward.
On the other hand, each individual contributor must be seen in his or her own right as the one and only one who makes the whole team fly or fail.

I was taking some quiet time of reflection, great with a three day week-end. It is hard to believe Herb and I started CEOinc twenty five years ago. Neither of us feels like we have aged too much although I recently saw a video where I was talking about some of the stories of triumphant transformation of clients and all I could see was my neck needed a nip and a tuck.
I digress.

Yesterday I received a call from a man who sounded super angry and incredibly tired. He said he was ready to close his very fiscally sound family carpet business because he could not stand the fighting anymore.
 “Who are you fighting with? I asked. “Oh, not me, I stay out of the fray, it’s everyone else.” “Hummmm” I said.

What if everyday at work was amazing, rewarding, conflict free, and wonderful?
If that were the case you would be living in a pretend paradise that, I can assure you, would get boring, boring, boring within a month.
 Anyone remember the movie “Pleasantville“? It is a 50’s type family living in a 50’s type community where everything is so….well pleasant. The beginning of the film is in black and white and only changes (I don’t want to spoil it for you, it’s worth seeing) so just note at some point it changes, or the word I would use is it transforms to what is real!
