I have been fascinated with the responses to my blog about Hailey Glassman. It has sparked so much emotion in many people that I think it is now time to respond.
Most reactions that are so polarizing there are only two forces to contend with: for and against. My question is “What are you for and what are you against?”

 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.

We are deeply into the second session of our 44th Total Leadership Connections program and I am still amazed when the dots between our backgrounds and work issues become clear.
 In the present group is a young woman who grew up in a communist country and we had the privilege of hearing a first hand report of the tests and trials her family had to endure.

 Hope all of you dads had a play day yesterday; and, even more importantly, that you were recognized and appreciated.
If you are an older dad, did you live in the “no guilt” zone? Or were there memories of missed little league games, missed school plays, missed opportunities to talk, really talk with the kids?

 What happens when you “move up in the world”? One thing is, more is expected of you, much more. How aware are you that your new position in life means you can’t go back to old ways of behaving and relating.
How prepared are you for being more grown up, more responsible, and more accountable? There is a plus and a minus in becoming a graduate.

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.

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!

 I was sitting at my computer writing away when the rain started and the wind blew. It had been sunny only moments earlier. I kept writing, intent about getting the article finished before going to present at a local leadership seminar.
Then I heard a thud. I stopped to explore. The big wind was busy whirling and letting us all know it was in charge.

The torment for the parents of the young suicide victim, the children who are accused of causing the horrific situation, the parents of all these children, the school officials, in fact, all children, parents and teachers in the school are in this together.
