Over the past couple years, I’ve come to realize the best part of holidays with little ones around is watching how excited they get about the surprises that await them. Whether it’s a birthday party, Christmas morning, or Easter Sunday; their energy and excitement is off the charts! But as we get older, our enthusiasm […]
ContinueWhat Are You Looking For In People?
When it comes to hiring a new employee, what are the top three traits that you’re looking for? Do these traits differ between entry level positions and middle management? And finally, how did you decide which traits are the most important? The desired characteristics for choosing employees is probably almost endless, so I won’t bother […]
ContinueBusy, But Not Balanced
Do you think ‘being busy’ is a good thing? I suppose if the alternative is ‘not working’, well then yes, being busy is great. But all too often, it seems there’s really no ‘in between’ on the ‘busy scale’ of life. For many of us when it comes to being busy, it’s either all or […]
ContinueIs Peace Overrated?
Let’s say you were granted three wishes… would you use one of them on ‘World Peace’? If somehow I was given three wishes, I think I’d use my first one to obtain a million more wishes. And then I guess the idealist in me would say ‘Yes’ to world peace. But as it turns out, […]
ContinueWaiting for a Better Time?
When’s the best time to start eating healthy? After a heart attack. How about exercising? After you’re already overweight. The best time to stop smoking? After someone you know has lung cancer. When’s the best time to start talking to your teenager? After the cops call. And when’s the best time to buy homeowner’s insurance? […]
ContinueIt’s All About Trust
For anyone who grew up in a small town, I’m sure you will probably agree that “everyone knowing you” is both a blessing and a curse. Unfortunately, our parents somehow already knew about the shenanigans we pulled before we even got home. But on the flip side, there was usually someone nearby who’d help us […]

When you need to hire a new employee, what are some of the traits that you look for in an applicant? How about when a position opens up and you’re planning to promote someone from within your team? If you were asked to answer those two questions at a seminar with a room full of […]
ContinueFighting For Your Rights?
Recently, we’ve heard a lot about ‘rights’ here in the state of Wisconsin. But what we haven’t heard much about are the ‘duties’ that come with them. And although it’s been quite a while since studying logic and philosophy in college, I still remember the basic relationship between a right and its corresponding duty. Essentially, […]
ContinueWhat Motivates You?
You work hard every day. What keeps you going? If you’re completely honest, I’m sure you’re probably like everyone else. Some days, the answer is “Not much.” But all the other days, what is it that motivates you? For some people, the motivation is external… involving money, possessions, and awards. For others, it’s internal… involving […]
ContinuePraying for Patience!
If being patient was a crime, punishable with jail time… I’m pretty sure I’d remain a free man. This past weekend, my patience was once again put to the test. And of all places… it was at mass on Sunday morning. You see, most weekends you can expect a typical mass at this particular church […]
