Mutual Admiration Society

The BEST situations are around Mutual Admiration Societies.


It might not always be equitable, but it is important to come from a place of respect
and enjoyment of the other person's talents.  
Winning an award, one should always be gracious and effusive in thanks.

Winning and maintaining friendships,
it is important to determine comfort levels of communication,
how to ensure that you've made a secure bond and how to keep it going.

Turn to Tech Scam

I recently had an interaction with a company called  Turn To Tech , who are offering to train people and then postponing payment until after you've gotten a job. Standard, right? Except their pitch is heavy on the sales and less on the info.  I filled out a simple, online form and their first email response was: "Are you available to come in to discuss the course?  The class is a pay after you receive a job type of course, however it will require some pre-work assessment , etc.  That can be gone over with you when you come in.  " Of course? Standard grammar not required. "A-Pay-After-You-Receive-A-Job-Type" of course.  Of course, you could call it an "Income Based Payment". I had to ask 3 more times how much the class would be before and after. "It is $6,000 before the course is complete if you do not want to approach the pay after you receive a job, which is $9,000."  This makes the government look good. Get me back my 6.7% rate...

Network is the Broadway Play Worth Watching

Of all the big plays of the moment, no play does a better homage to the spirit of the tale than Network-currently starring Bryan Cranston.  It’s a perfect American story-created in England. The surrounding immersive media is just the beginning.  The line “I’m Mad as Hell” is presented perfectly the first time, and then highlighted as a regular battle cry-you wonder if this is made from a movie from the 1970’s (it was) or if it was written tomorrow. It takes too much of the insanity of the media-centric world to too many logical conclusions. It plays with your mind over and over, as if media is just an extended magic trick-constantly diverting your attention. For this play, it’s worth it to pay attention.

Real Women in the Marketplace

If you are a guy, try to remove all judgement for the length of this post. And read it to the end. This is not women complaining, this is a series of articles I've seen in the past few DAYS that seem like Women Being Dissatisfied in the Marketplace means that more than 50% of consumers are not happy. What is the actual percentage of women as decision makers for YOUR brand anyway?
