Brand strategy. Loyal customer bases. Steadfast CEOs. Comfort. Consistency. Memorability. Apple.  McDonald’s. Netfli…(a needle scratches off a record… um, I mean, the mp3 player crashes…) Belated Response? The Netflix Debacle It might seem like I’m a little late in writing about this topic because it has been a couple of months since I got the [...]

Hope Actually IS a Strategy (Part 2)

It took me three months.  Just one quarter.  Only twelve weeks.  I’m back.  My social experiment is over, and my conclusion is: Hope still lives, albeit on a fairly powerful respirator. In my last blog, I shared that it was getting harder to write monthly… (apologizing for the no-post May,) I wrote that: “My shelves [...]

Hope Actually IS a Strategy

Where to start, where to start.  I have, for the most part, loyally posted a monthly blog for nearly two years on this fabulous and support-my-crazy-blogs site.  But last month?  Nothing.

While in search of what seems a nearly impossible task of satisfying my curious and insatiable mind for learning something new (that’s better), I [...]

Leadership: A Curtsy, A Bow, or A Handshake?

Happy New Year everyone! And a special Happy New Year to our USA southerly continental sister’s country of Brazil for ushering the new year with the inauguration of its first female President, Dilma Rousseff.  Folks, this is leadership news that is more noteworthy than Obama assuming office, and let me tell you why.
