Why Improv Training is Better Than White-Water Rafting for Team Building:

Why Improv Training is Better Than White-Water Rafting for Team Building: For starters, there's less chance of getting wet!

The Necessity of Fun in Networking Events

Business networking events are a great way for professionals to come together and exchange contacts, skills, and resources. They provide a platform for people to learn from each other, collaborate with others in the same or complimentary industries, and form meaningful relationships that can be invaluable.

Sympathy, Empathy, Apathy, and BACON!

At home, in the office, or any situation you find yourself in, life can be overwhelming. It’s filled with so much hate, hurt, and hardship. Because of that, so many are looking for help, healing, and to be heard. None of us can be an endless supply of support, but when we are needed, we must take a close look at what we can offer. SYMPATHY is when you SHARE the feelings of another person; we see and acknowledge what they are going through. We feel sorry for them. EMPATHY is w

The BACON of Dolly Parton

If you were to describe the epitome of happiness; the poster child of cheerfulness, it would have to be Dolly Parton. A person that faced and overcame seemingly unbeatable obstacles; a unique being whose apparent focus is to bring hope and happiness to the world…who else could it be? Others may chase after fame and horde and hide their fortune, but Dolly gives and gives in so many ways to so many people. If it is true that the path to happiness is being in the service of othe

The Bike Ride

When I first started courting Kristi, she spoke about her yearly cycling adventure. It was a fundraising ride for the American Lung Association. We were just beginning something beautiful, and I was interested in anything that would foster her affection. So naturally, I asked if I could join her on this jaunt. She eagerly agreed to allow me to accompany her on her adventure. And quite an adventure it would be. The best way to explain this excursion is that once a year, she, a

Resisting BACON

Resistance is that hidden force that holds us back from realizing our dreams and pursuing our passion. It could be the fear of failure, self-doubt, procrastination, or the seeking of society’s approval. Don't allow anything to stop you from being the happiest version of yourself! Don't let these fears stop you from doing what brings you the most inner peace. To determine the best course for yourself, it's crucial to pay attention to both your inner guidance and the advice of

BACON Frustration

Are you feeling frustrated with life? Do the decisions of others and the things you can't control cause you despair? We’ve all been there. Everyone gets at least a little frustrated now and again, but how do you stop it from getting out of control?

63% Remembered the Stories

63% of people recalled a story from a presentation, but only 5% recalled a statistic. Jennifer Aaker, a marketing professor at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business We all love a good story, especially when it comes to making an important decision. Stories arouse feelings and establish close bonds between the narrator, the audience, and even the goods or services being promoted.

Confident as BACON!

People judge us a lot less than we believe. We are constantly looking for approval and acceptance from others.

Campsites and Conversations

It has been over 35 years since I lost my dad. And even though they never met, my 21-year-old son tells wonderful stories about his grandfather. My brothers, our nephews, and our sons partake upon incredible adventures every year in my father’s memory. This tradition has been going on since the mid 80s. It started with hiking, fishing, camping, horseback riding, and more. Now it’s usually, shopping, eating, and sitting around. But it is also always about reminiscing, laughing

BACON and the Benefits of Boredom

Life can often seem tedious and uneventful, and it’s easy to get caught up in the same old routine day after day. But boredom is beneficial; or at least, it can be. Boredom usually refers to trying and failing to find stimulation. But sometimes it can lead to just giving up. If we view this “failing to find stimulation” as a learning experience we can use boredom to become more productive, creative, and self-aware. If we identify that boredom is leading to great despair or a

Contrast, Conform, Connect

Think of the stores where you love to shop. Think of the restaurants and cafes that call to you. Think about all those memorable employees that you’ve met. They all differentiate. They are bold, distinctive, and different. They find a way to stand out. What are you doing to be extraordinary, notable, and remembered? It all starts with separating yourself from the crowd. Zigging while they’re zagging and getting everyone talking about you. Once you’ve got their attention, conf

Thing, Bring, Cling

You need to look at what others in your industry are doing and how you can stand out from the crowd. What is it that separates you from your competition? What is it about YOU, your dreams, your ideas, and your solutions that make you different? Answering these questions can help you create a unique brand identity. Once you have clarity on these questions, it’s time to create your identity. Research the needs, wants, aspirations, and challenges that your target customer segmen

Imitate, Innovate, Initiate

They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I say that it’s the quickest way to succeed. By copying the successful strategies of others, you can quickly find a path to your own success. Imitating other successful people isn’t just about taking what they have and making it yours. It’s also about learning from them and applying their methods in your own way. For example, if you want to launch a website, you could look at the strategies of other successful sites

Value, Vision, Virtue

When working with new businesses, the first thing that I ask them to do is to write a list of their VALUES. Our Values are our guiding principles. They are our goals; the person or company that we aspire to be. Once listed, our Values act as a blueprint for the way that we want to do business and the way that we want our employees to represent us. Our Values should be realistic, measurable, and attainable. This will help us stay focused on our ultimate goal of success. We als
