Ann Coulter tried to pull the same thing with me during a radio interview).

Go for the Green: Four Reminders for Leading in Uncertain Times

By • on July 10, 2009

In Seattle, sometimes February acts like Spring, and this year especially, after the record-breaking snow storms, I noticed the crocuses and primroses with their colorful faces, a brilliant, quick flash at the garden’s edge. There are tight buds, too, if you look closely at the grayed branches

How to Let Them Go: Advice from Atticus

By • on July 8, 2009

Okay, I have a confession to make-I was terminated. Not fired or let go or not renewed. Not RIFed or pink-slipped. Terminated. In the midst of an organizational restructure, I got tossed out with the rest of the superfluous positions, the additional managerial poundage put on in leaner times. This had

By • on July 8, 2009

One particular conundrum consultants like me face is the value of candor and honesty weighed against the desire to make my clients happy—to give them the good news and hopeful outlook for their organizations and teams and to offer both encouragement and solid advice on how to make it happen for themselves.

By • on July 7, 2009

This morning began like others—I woke at my usual 5 a.m. and decided that a good way to start the day was to go for a walk. The sun was already up here in Omak, Washington, Okanogan County, where the Omak Stampede Rodeo and “World Famous Suicide Race” happen each August. For my urban friends, I’m

The main event of the 2009 World Series of Poker is finally here. I am playing today, day 1D. It seems that turn out so far is off from last year, although it appears that today’s field will be the largest of the four days, with about 3,600 playing the first 3 days. I usually play the first day

Ch-Ch-Change

By • on July 7, 2009

In all our day-today business experiences, there is nothing that rivals that of change. We attempt to navigate its tumultuous waters, we try to manage its fickle nature, and we sometimes even conquer its battle strategy. But most often we avoid it like the plague.

By • on July 2, 2009

The last couple of days have gone pretty well for me.  I began day two of the 3k WSOP triple chance event with just under 15k in chips, with the average being 55k.  There were 149 of the starting 854 players remaining with the money coming at 81.  I had my good friend Joe McGowan directly to my left,

Roy Winston: Hanging on at the WSOP: Gov. Sanford-what a loser

By • on June 29, 2009

Yesterday I played the No Limit Holdem triple chance event.  Here you start with 3k in chips and can take an additional 3k in chips twice more at any time in the first three levels.  The idea behind it is to create more action like in a re-buy event, but it falls miserably short of creating it.  It
