BESPOKE ART & DESIGN
POST CONTRIBUTORS: All | A.D. Cook | Bob Barnes | Frank Mallinder
It was late on a Friday afternoon and I was sitting across the desk from the CEO of a rapidly growing technology company. We were reviewing a process I had designed for the sales team to use when preparing for important presentations. Throughout our discussion he asked insightful questions, and I had answers for most of them. When we finished the review, he looked across the desk and asked: “Frank, is this your best work?”

We were taught what to think, how to behave, and how to fit in. We were taught to work hard, set goals, and be responsible. But almost no one ever taught us how to gain clarity on what to do so that a good decision can be made. What we were taught was some version of “Do what you were told.” That is not clarity, it is obedience. Without clarity, all the effort in the world can still leave you stuck, busy, and going nowhere in particular.
International Museum Day is a holiday that celebrates museums of all kinds.

After my epic Corvette artwork MOMENTUM‘s extended stay at the prestigious National Corvette Museum, where it captivated audiences and enthusiasts alike, and after a brief intermission that allowed for reflection and preparation, the paintings have now made their journey to their latest impressive display destination, the SILO Auto Club and Conservancy located in the vibrant city of Indianapolis.
It’s been a while since I attended an evening car show. This show started at 7 PM, so I wanted to get there early to snap some great pics before the sun drifted into the night sky. I had been looking forward to this show for a while for various reasons.
What a beach song reveals when you finally hear it. I believe that songs are really stories about someone’s life set to music.
And if you listen closely enough, perhaps they can start telling you something about yours. Today I am writing about a song that is one of my all-time favorites: Margaritaville.

What I Finally Realized in the Middle of a Coaching Session — I was in the middle of a coaching session a short while ago when the topic of leadership training came up. As we talked, something clicked. What we were really discussing wasn’t leadership training at all, it was human behavior.
