If that quote were true life would certainly be boring. Who wants a bunch of perfect people running around? I tell ya though…I love watching people try to improve themselves…to me, that’s what practice is all about. I can remember days back in high school when I could barely stand up in front of class…

I’m sure many, if not all of you, have heard this phrase at some point. Passing out good news is something we should all look forward to and enjoy doing. I remember at times I’d stop what I was doing to pass along some good news. Then on the flip side there is bad news…I…

If you’ve been reading my posts for any amount of time, you know the importance I’ve put on making sure that you’ve set your expectations and then communicated those expectations to your teammates so they are aware.

Anyways…I’m going off topic…you’ve got to remember, the NBA is the group of…

Do you ever wonder how you are doing at your job? You can always ask for feedback or you can wait for your annual appraisal…but why wait…you can find out for yourself. Have you ever tried to interview yourself for your own job?? Pretty easy really, just think of 3-5 typical interview questions and write…

During my job search I had many interviews and I remember one specific interviewer asking me to tell him about a time when I had to mentor and provide feedback to someone who wasn’t performing to standards.

Today is a milestone for me…this is my 100th post written. I thought I would share my very first post again…and what really got me going in writing. This was an article I wrote for the base paper…something we had the opportunity to do as squadron commanders…so I jumped…and below is what I came up…
