Prime Time
Let's talk about Deion Sanders for a minute. I went to an event where he was speaking. He was one of 8 speakers that day and his time was more of a conversation. He was interviewed by Don Yaeger, the co-author of Sanders new book, Elevate and Dominate - 21 Ways to Win...
Me First
One of the speakers I listened to last week started his presentation with this blanket statement: "I don't follow through for myself like I do for others." Don't miss this one, because it's HUGE! We follow through for others for so many reasons, right? We want to be...

A Psychology Experiment
Yesterday, I helped my daughter sell cookies at her university for THON. THON is a student-run philanthropy that raises funds for local children's hospitals. Penn State is the university that is most famous for THON, although many colleges have their own version. The...
Motivational Monday!
I was reading an article about complaining by Travis Bradberry and I didn't realize how incredibly bad it is for our brain and for our overall health. One seemingly innocuous complaining rant, and our body is off to the races—and not in a good way. In a nutshell, it...
