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 [...]

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 [...]

The Pygmalion Effect
Posted on 10. Jan, 2012 by Malcolm Munro.
This morning I read an interesting article about San Francisco 49rs quarterback Alex Smith. For those of you who don’t know, Smith was the first overall draft pick in the 2005 draft. For the first six years of his career, he failed to live up to his own billing, not to mention the great tradition [...]

Beware of “The Creep”
Posted on 05. Jan, 2012 by Malcolm Munro.
We’re just a few days into the new year and for many folks, their well-intended resolutions (we’ve decided to call them goals) are already on the path to failure. The scary part is that they have no idea. For now everything seems right on track. The diet’s going well. They’ve made it to the gym [...]

Set a Powerful, SMART Goal This Year
Posted on 31. Dec, 2011 by Malcolm Munro.
Last week I talked about doing goals rather than resolutions for the New Year. Now it’s time to get serious. As you begin thinking about what you’d like to do better, differently, or maybe just start doing this year, be sure to implement two important steps: 1. Be SMART about it. Be sure your goals [...]

Goals vs. Resolutions – Part 1
Posted on 23. Dec, 2011 by Malcolm Munro.
It’s that time of year. Time to set those expected New Year Resolutions. They’re all the same: lose weight, quit smoking, stop drinking, get out of debt, work out more. We’ve all set them and most of us break them (or forget about them) before January ends. Then of course we become skeptical. How many [...]
