Kia meets with a friend on a weekly basis to help her stay grounded. Someone to help her not get too high or too low. Another person in her life to be a sounding board and a friend. So they came up with this plan to pick a word for 2011 that would help them […]
Had a bad 2010? It could be worse!
Personally, 2010 was pretty good. Much better for me than 2009. For some of you, 2010 may have been not as good as years past. As bad as it may have been, take heart. You could have been one of the 10 people mentioned in this article (10 Career Crashes in 2010). Think General McCrystal, […]
Happy New Year! 2010 in Review – What did you Deliver?
It’s official…2010 is over and 2011 is here. Happy New Year! I hope that no matter what your 2010 was like, 2011 will be better. When it comes to business (and most other parts of life), you have a huge part to play in how big or small, good or bad of change takes place. […]
Merry Christmas!
Life is a circus. That as you can see is the theme of the Bondurant Christmas card this year. Never has that been more true than this week. In the midst of school programs, basketball practices, dance rehearsals, work, school, and preparing for Christmas we had a vomitfest. Literally. At one point on Monday all […]
Another Christmas Flash Mob
I’ve told you before, I’m a sucker for a good (even a decent) flash mob. Here is another Christmas themed one from a mall food court. This video has made the rounds (like 22 million times!), but one of the thing that I think is most interesting about the video is the company that made […]
Creating Margin in your Life and Business
Last week I was swamped between life and business. At the end of the week, I had to make some choices. Do I blog or do I let it rest? Do I Facebook or do I let it rest? Do I twitter or do I let it rest? A quick look back at my activity […]
Thankfulness
Sunday our pastor preached a sermon on thankfulness. Specifically being thankful as opposed to being angry and cynical (what he considers the exact opposite of thankfulness). Two great points he made. In general, he sees people who are really angry and/or cynical. More angry than they were 15-20 years ago. People are angry about the […]
Happy Thanksgiving!
So many things to be thankful for… How many times have you heard that. How many times have you said it? Do we really mean it? Why does it take something like Thanksgiving, a once a year holiday, for us to truly consider it? This year, I have an even different perspective on what I […]
Lead with Passion & Have a Story to Tell – Jessica Jackley
About a month ago, I downloaded the TED app for my iPad. I love what TED does and stands for, but for some reason I never used it until earlier this week. I finally fired up the app, and found a couple of really good talks, but I think this was my favorite. The talk […]
Your Cheese is Going to be Moved. What are you Going to do?
I recently came across this article from the USA Today about the decline in the cable and satallite subscriptions across the country. Here is the crux of what the article says: The country’s eight largest publicly traded pay-TV companies, representing about 85% of the subscriber total, had reported their results for the third quarter by […]
