This past week I did a series of workshops in Southern California. Now SoCal is my birthplace and I lived there until 1983 (and did a 4 year stint at Naval Hospital Long Beach there in the early 90s) so I have some family still there. I drove out to Riverside on Tuesday evening to [...]

Grace Under Pressure
Posted on 13. Feb, 2012 by Malcolm Munro.
This past Sunday afternoon I decided to go to our Healthtrax gym and do an hour of cardio on the Arc Trainer elliptical machine. I usually bring my iPod but it also helps to watch something on the wide array of TV monitors too. With the NFL done for the year, my choices were the [...]

Relevant Like Madonna
Posted on 07. Feb, 2012 by Malcolm Munro.
Like most of America, I spent Sunday evening watching the Super Bowl game. There’s always a lot of excitement in our home on Super Bowl Sunday: the food, the game, the commercials, and sometimes, the halftime show. After several years of lackluster performances, I was really looking forward to seeing Madonna perform. In my mind, [...]

Posted on 30. Jan, 2012 by Malcolm Munro.
As we near the end of the NFL season with the Superbowl Game coming up in a few days, it’s nearing that time where players refresh, heal up, and reload for the coming season. Ironically, as football ends, the baseball off-season is coming to a close with spring training just around the corner. Sports are [...]

Book Review: The Coming Jobs War
Posted on 30. Jan, 2012 by Malcolm Munro.
The Coming Jobs War written by Jim Clifton is a book I keep seeing at the news stands in the airport and have been intrigued with. I finally just bought it for my Kindle and read it. Clifton is the CEO of the Gallup Organization (of the famous “Gallup Polls”) and he explores what he [...]

What Season Are You In?
Posted on 23. Jan, 2012 by Malcolm Munro.
This past Sunday I either had food poisoning or a horrific stomach virus so I spent the entire day laying in bed watching TV while dozing on and off. The channel parked was on Biography HD and they were doing a marathon of rock band bios. Each episode had a theme. Band members come together [...]

The Power of Taking Charge
Posted on 17. Jan, 2012 by Malcolm Munro.
By now you know I’m not a big fan of leadership studies (even though my Masters Degree is in Organizational Leadership) so it’s not often you’ll find me talking about leadership. Too hard to define. Too much “sitting up on the mountain” casting vision and not enough getting things done. My preference is for the [...]

Book Review: Brag! The Art of Tooting Your Own Horn Without Blowing It
Posted on 17. Jan, 2012 by Malcolm Munro.
Brag! The Art of Tooting Your Own Horn Without Blowing it written by Peggy Klaus is a book that I think was given to me a few years ago from the contractor I was working with teaching a career transition course but never read. The premise of the book is that while people say many [...]

How Trustworthy Are You?
Posted on 12. Jan, 2012 by Malcolm Munro.
Tuesday night, I ran over something in the road while driving my daughter to Lacrosse practice. I wasn’t sure what it was but when I stopped to check my tire, I found a huge bolt sticking out of my right rear tire. It seemed to still hold air so I carefully drove home. Yesterday, I [...]
