Introduction to The Three Laws of Performance
Last month, the thinkspace book club read The Three Laws of Performance: Rewriting The Future of Your Organization and Your Life by Steve Zaffron & Dave Logan. I’m writing this post to give our online community some insight into what we read and learned. The book started off by discussing “The Power of Rewriting The […]
Stress in the Workplace
Stress. It’s a word that’s been on my mind a lot lately. How do you handle stress when things get hectic at work? Wikipedia defines workplace stress as, “The harmful physical and emotional response that occurs when there is a poor match between job demands and the capabilities, resources, or needs of the worker.“ I […]
It’s a Mistake to Hire a Gen Y
Lack of work ethic. Demanding and impatient. Those are a few of the words used to describe Generation Y who are now in the workforce. Gen-Y’s are people born between 1977 and 1992 and are between the ages of 19 and 34. Wikipedia describes Gen-Y’s as “…the “Trophy Generation”, or “Trophy Kids,” a term that […]
No Excuses. Break Through & Come Up with the Results
I’m reading “Poke the Box” by Seth Godin. I like reading Godin because it’s inspirational and motivating. He definitely subscribes to the “no excuse” mentality.

Alternatives to Driving – Because $100 Per Tank Sucks
This last weekend was National “Don’t buy Gas” Day. I should have listened. I filled my gas tank up this weekend and it cost me $92 and I’m no longer laughing. It’s more like I’ve reached the “Supreme” level as shown in the picture. Two weeks ago it was $84. That’s about a 10% increase […]
