Mining the Gold in Your Own Backyard
Posted on by Malcolm Munro.
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 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 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, [...]

Making the Most of the Off-Season
Posted on 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 [...]

What Season Are You In?
Posted on 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 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 [...]

How Trustworthy Are You?
Posted on 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 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 [...]

Book Review: Navigating Midlife
Posted on by Malcolm Munro.
Navigating Midlife: Using Typology as a Guide written by Eleanor S. Corlett and Nancy B. Millner is a book I picked up at workshop back in 2002 but never read. It uses the theory of Personality Type, a concept identified by Carl Jung and later translated into a psychological instrument by Katherine Briggs and Isabel [...]

Set a Powerful, SMART Goal This Year
Posted on 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 [...]
