		<title>Stay in Touch &#8211; Literally &#8211; Read the Paper</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past few years, I tend to skim the headlines online every few days.  I usually feel rushed and unfocused.  However, for the past three weeks, I have had the greatest luxury (privilege?) to be able to sit down in the morning and read two newspapers from the previous day. My partner has been [...]]]></description>

		<title>Becoming a Confident Speaker: Overcoming the fear of public speaking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the years, like my guest author, I have helped coach individuals improve their public speaking.  So when I saw this simple exercise, I was intrigued.  I immediately asked Noel if I could reprint the short article.  Noel kindly agreed and asked me to add a link after his name &#8220;if you can fit that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Japan&#8217;s oldest citizens are missing. Should we be surprised?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I find it interesting how often I just accept was is being said without serious analysis and then find myself saying &#8211; well that makes sense when the &#8220;facts&#8221; have been disputed.  I found this happening to me when I read one of the headline this week in the New York Times:  Japan, Checking on [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Personality Potion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Image via Wikipedia While I was sitting at breakfast this morning, I noticed the book title that my 7 yr old was reading, TreeTops Stage 13 &#8220;The Personality Potion&#8221; (If you know the scholastic series, you will know that I am boasting because Stage 13 is for 9 to 10 year old.) It was evident [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fancy Hands or Fancy Pants?  Not sure.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Life is full of chores and too many little things to do .  There is a new service in town that I read about in Fact Company and I am on my second month of giving them a go.  In principle &#8211; this is a fantastic concept and service.  Fancy Hands call themselves personal assistants [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sometimes you really need peanut butter in the house.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My mother used to say:  &#8220;If you make your bed, then you have to lie in it.&#8221;  As a result of this upbringing, I am a bit of a product of &#8220;Calvinism&#8221;. I tend to think that good things won&#8217;t last and I always wait for the other shoe to drop.   Friends would say I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rethinking Teams</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am beginning to think that the whole concept of teams is passé.  Don&#8217;t get me wrong.  I think that my work with team building will be around for the rest of my career and will remain a major source of my income.  However, that said, as I focus more on collaboration I am beginning [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rethinking Leadership</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The first follower is an underestimated leader. To be a leader &#8211; you may have to be the first follower. The populous believes that you can&#8217;t be a leader without having followers.  I hate this premise &#8211; even if I don&#8217;t have a good argument to dismiss it. While watching people trying to figure out [...]]]></description>
