Forgetfulness is costing you time, money, and a ton of missed opportunities. In the age of automation, it’s easy to underestimate the power of a well-trained human mind. But memory isn’t just a parlor trick, it's a strategic edge. Human memory is one of the most underrated business skills. Whether you’re managing people, leading sessions, or having high-stakes conversations, remembering names, details, and concepts can be transformative in building trust, absorbing knowledge, and driving perform

If you asked me how this decade went for me, I'd say: "Swimmingly!". Why? I'll share a personal swimming milestone with you. This week, I passed the 10,000,000 yard mark for yards swum this decade (2000-2009). (9,144 kilometers, or approx. 5,700 miles.) This started with an innocent remark that a teammate (Jim Merchant) made to me in January, 2000. He said: "I've had a couple of million-plus yard years.

For the past two weeks, I've watched the 1969 thirteen-part BBC series, "Civilisation" which was written and narrated by Kenneth Clark. This series --which focused on western art over the past thousand years -- was quite popular when it first appeared four decades ago. I greatly enjoyed it then, and I feel that it holds up pretty well now!

Image by Hugh MacLeod. Of all the painfully funny cartoons on Hugh MacLeod's Gapingvoid blog, for me this is the funniest and most painful. It's painful because I know exactly how Eric feels. A few years ago, I was in his shoes. And I feel for him - because I know if he doesn't change, his story is going to have a messy ending. The humour, of course, turns on the idea of what is 'asking for too much'.

I think the best thing about about the year "2010" is that most people will call it Twenty-Ten. Nice and simple. Only three syllables! [Not, God forbid, two thousand and ten. Ugh!]. This means a return to calling the first two digits of the year one number, and the last two digits another number. For example: 1948 is nineteen forty-eight. I think that most of the years of this decade have been ponderous to pronounce , e.g., 2007 was two thousand and seven — and that's too many syllables.

It's time again for some inspiration from Heraclitus , the world's first creativity teacher (he lived around 500 BC). Today's insight is: “I searched into myself.”. Heraclitus felt that consulting our own knowledge and intuition is a wonderful way to gain insight. Unfortunately, some of us never learned this lesson. Much of our educational system is an elaborate game of "guess what the teacher is thinking," and we come to believe that the best ideas are in someone else's head rather than our own
