Have we stopped paddling?

You've all heard the joke about how a duck looks so placid and calm atop the water but under the water's surface his feet are paddling as hard as they can. I ask the question, "Have we stopped paddling?" When the economy was claimed as "down turn," "slow growth," everyone was paddling as fast as they could to keep their jobs, pay down bills, repair and maintain rather than buy and build. Now that it looks like the economy is on an ...

March Westside CTN Meeting - It was a good one!

If you didn’t attend the March 2011 Westside CTN meeting, you missed a great presentation on how to structure effective presentations. Alan Duncan, a Silver Houston ASTD sponsor, provided his insights on helping corporate SMEs develop and deliver effective training sessions instead of just data dumps. Even those of us who considered ourselves “seasoned” trainers had “ah ha” moments.

An Ice Scraping Texan

Recently someone gave me an ice scraper. Now in Houston Texas, there’s not much need for an ice scraper, but I happened to be in Casper Wyoming at the time where it was below zero, snow on the ground and a light rain in the air. The ice scraper was exactly what I needed. Do you have access to the tools you need when you need them? We do.
