Lioness Magazine just announced Words That Work as their book of the week. You can read the full interview here . My favorite question they asked me was who the book is for and why people should read it. Here’s my reply: If you’ve ever replayed a pitch, a meeting or a conversation back and wished you could have a second take at what you said, this book is for you. Too many times, it’s easy to get caught up in preparing precise presentation slides or detailed spreadsheets without spending the time to plan and practice exactly what you will say and how you will say it. Words That Work is full of quotes and scripts that tell you just what to say to get the results you’re looking for with your board, your investors, your team and your peers. It deconstructs the power of language and gives you tools you can immediately use to communicate your personal and company purpose that will deliver you profitable growth. Take a moment today: Ask yourself if you are having candid conversations w

For over 30 years Alan Weiss has consulted, coached, and advised everyone from Fortune 500 executives, state governors, non-profit directors, and entrepreneurs to athletes, entertainers, and beauty pageant contestants. That’s quite an assortment of people, and they run into the thousands. Most of them have had what we euphemistically call “means,” and some of them have had a lot more than that. Others have been aspiring and with more ends in sight than means on hand. Alan Weiss states: I’ve dealt with esteem (low), narcissism (high), family problems, leadership dysfunctions, insecurities, addictions, and ethical quandaries. And I’ve talked about them through the coronavirus crisis. But don’t get the wrong idea. About 95% of these people have been well-meaning, honest (to the best of their knowledge), and interes

Last week, the City of New York removed its last public payphone. It was the long overdue but sad end of an era that began in 1889 when a guy named William Gray needed access to a payphone, only to discover that it had not yet been invented. His creation  went on to be a 20th-century communications mainstay. Those of a certain age, particularly salespeople, recall when knowing where the payphones were was part of the art of being an effective sales professional. This was particularly true of Toy Fair. In the days before cell phones and Javits, the payphones in the Toy Building lobby were vital to getting the sign-off on deals, communicating competitor intelligence, asking for permission, and occasionally pleading for forgiveness. Complicating the use of payphones was the inevitable line to use them . At an event like Toy Fair, the demand for payphones was intense. You cannot imagine, or perhaps you can, the anxiety of waiting to make that critical call—standing in line, straining

In a tweet today, metaverse trademark attorney Michael Kondoudis revealed that The Professional Golfers' Association of America (better known as the PGA) has filed a new trademark application for its iconic swinging golfer silhouette logo. The application was submitted to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on May 25, 2022, and signals the PGA's plans to offer: • Downloadable virtual goods, namely, computer programs for the creation and trade of digital collectibles, represented by non-fungible tokens via a blockchain network; • Downloadable computer software for managing digital collectible services, a market for transactions, and a registry using blockchain-based software technology and smart contracts for digital collectibles • Providing non-downloadable digital collectibles, represented by non-fungible tokens via a blockchain network "This filing appears to be a first or at least one of the first by a major professional sports league to trademark its name or lo

For Immediate Release: Dateline: Salt Lake City , UT    I experienced teenage hair loss. My name is Jill Vanderwood I am an author at jillvanderwood.com . I am also a licensed cosmetologist. The technical term for hair loss is alopecia and from what I’ve read, the hair loss I experienced was not regular alopecia areata, which is baldness in spots. Mine would not be called pattern baldness either, because it was all over my head and not just a little bit. The term used for this type of baldness is: Diffuse Alopecia Areata , which is a sudden and unexpected thinning of the hair all over the scalp. Here is my story of teenage hair loss. During the eighth grade I became extremely ill. I had a high fever and couldn’t even walk up and down the steps inside the house without falling, so someone had to help me. This sickness, which was not diagnosed at the time, lasted for two weeks. In the mornings someone would help me down the steps inside the house, and I would take up residence on

The overall market sentiment has been bearish lately, with many stocks down as much as 20%-70%. Although it's been a tough time lately for investors in U.S. stocks, it's important to keep in mind that volatility is an inevitable part of investing—and that a long-term investment strategy can provide a degree of insulation against the perils of emotion, impulse, and even potential regret in future years. You may be asking yourself: What is market volatility anyway? One way to describe market volatility is the intensity and frequency of an asset's or market's price movements. The wider the trading ranges and price swings are, the more volatile the market environment is. Volatility gets a bad rap, as the term is often associated with sharp, accelerated downward price movements in a market. But sharp price increases equate to volatility, too. Currently, major U.S. stock indexes are battling a higher interest rate environment, soaring inflation, war, supply chain issues,

This weekend my oldest daughter and her husband went to a wedding of one of their best friends . His wedding was postponed three times due to the pandemic and it was finally going to happen. Understandably, they really wanted to attend. So my wife and I agreed to babysit. Our grandson is 20 months old and a real pleasure. During the pandemic we’ve been babysitting him in the afternoons so his parents, who both work from home, could get their work done. They live nearby and he’s really comfortable at our home. But he’s never spent the night away from his parents. So it was a big deal for him and kind of scary. The day was lovely as it usually is. And he went to bed pretty well for a first-time sleep away. But once breakfast was over, he grabbed his shoes and was ready to go home. We explained to him that mommy and daddy would be back around lunchtime, and with some distractions, he was able to calm down and begin to enjoy the day. But just before that, I saw the distress in his eye

For Immediate Release: Dateline: Briarcliff Manor , NY Sometimes difficult events in my life (or in the world) take me to a very internal place, where I reflect on my own feelings, thoughts, responses — and consider how I want to show up. This is one of those times. I’m not done yet — but one thing I do know. I’m still determined to make things better. Giving up isn’t an option. Envision Something Better Here are some of the changes in my personal life recently: — The book I wrote is being edited.  I changed the subtitle to better reveal what the book is about:  Healing The Wanting ~ Resiliency in the Age of Transformation.  I’m still deciding whether to self publish (I have a domain purchased for Bright Wings Press, so I could if I want to)  — or whether to offer it to a mainstream publisher (I have one or two in mind.) — Because of an ongoing physical challenge with chronic inflammation, under a doctor’s supervision I completely changed how I eat.  It took me a year and

My guess is it would be the one who finishes early. This brings up the question of timing in your presentations. You should view the time you allot for your presentation as inviolable. There should be no circumstances that require you to go over time. So, how do you prevent your presentations from going overtime? The answer is to divide and conquer. Divide your presentation into an opening, body, and closing, time them separately, watch your overall presentation time, and practice, practice, practice so you can be assured you can achieve the correct timing consistently.

For Immediate Release: Dateline: San Francisco , CA Channel Stress for Peak Performance As a leader, how do you channel stress? How do you use stress to your advantage? #0160; More than ever, it's critical that we take care of our bodies and mind. After all, our success depends on being able to function in a healthy, productive manner. So when your flight, fight, freeze, or fawn response is triggered, how do you respond? How do you signal to your body when you are in real danger, and when you are experiencing stress? The term "stress" is overused and often misunderstood, as it's bandied about to describe both cause and effect: Cause: "There's a lot of stress at work these days." Effect: "I'm so stressed that I can't think straight." It's interesting to note that while neuroscience has taught us a great deal about stress, we cannot always distinguish between the psychological state of stress and the physiological respon
