Things You Can’t Measure…Sure Do Measure Up!
Are you still judging your worth in terms of net profit over the last five years? Don’t worry, your greatest resource is still intact: YOU! Football calls it “having the intangibles.” In an interview, Aaron Rodgers, last year’s Super Bowl-winning Quarterback and MVP put it this way, “Far too much weight is put on your…
Read MoreTebow – The “it” Guy with the X Factor
Some people just have “it.” Call it the X Factor; call it charisma. In the NFL, rookie QB Tim Tebow has “it.” Sports pundits have been waxing rhapsodic about him since he was drafted last April. I saw “it” firsthand on Sunday at Denver, when the Broncos did not beat the Chargers. BUT, when Tebow…
Read MoreThe Colts Didn’t “Back Up” – Do You?
I love Peyton Manning, Quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts. I love his command of his job and his team and his ability to win games – even in the last two minutes. He inspires me to give my all to my job, and never give up. I dedicated my book to him, along with my…
Read MoreDetroit Lions making a comeback…are you?
We are reinventing ourselves to survive in this economy. I like to think of it as a “comeback.” Last year was such a down year for corporate meetings using outside speakers, I toyed with the idea of going back into Human Resources for some company, other than my own. Then, someone quoted Will Smith: “”There’s…
Read MoreFootball and Business: Coming From Behind, and Never Giving Up!
Week 4 of the16-week NFL season looms large. But we, who champion the underdog, had a fine time with Week 3. Two teams, who have historically been “losers”, have started the season 3-0. It’s extra sweet that they represent cities that are among the most economically depressed in the nation: Detroit and Buffalo. Remember how…
Read MoreFootball Poetry? Sure!
Well, it’s not exactly football poetry, but the connection is there!!! So today the Dow dipped 500 points, and closed 391 points down. So now do we get all depressed ? Or just realize that when the whistle (closing bell in the stock market) blows, the play (day) is over, and yes, Scarlett, tomorrow IS…
Read MoreBusiness and Football: How’s Your Week 2 Going?
Game 2 of the NFL season looms extra large. I am fascinated by a statistic quoted on the tv show, ESPN First Take (which is how I start my weekday mornings) by host Dana Jacobson (a fellow NJG– Nice Jewish Girl from the Midwest, and a GREAT sports commentator). It appears week 2 is crucial:…

Read MoreFootball Inspiration: Get Your Passion, Folks, from the NFL!
Football is such inspiration…ladies, there is so much to LOVE about watching football, it’s not even funny! If nothing else, you HAD to love Head Coach Harbaugh of the Baltimore Ravens being all fatherly, and KISSING running back Ray Rice on the head! I’m telling you, the NFL brings out the beast in men, but…
Read MoreBusiness and Football: Do Businesses Experience the Super Bowl Hangover?
NFL Football is back! And am I happy! I bid adieu to my family (brother, sister) last Sunday for all future Sundays. Told them the next Sunday they would see me without a TV screen in front of my face would be next February. Super Bowl Sunday is my annual Super Bowl/Birthday Bash for Family,…
