		<title>Which Dog Will You Feed? Choosing Our “Reality”</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In 1995 I decided to embrace optimism as a strategy for creating possibilities. It wasn’t a rational choice, it was an intuitive leap of faith.

		<title>Weed Your Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Originally posted on SVProjectManagement.com December 2011. Here’s another personal musing promoted by what I’ve come to call the “alcoholidays”. This time of year my mind wanders to gratitude. I’m grateful for the incredibly talented colleagues who have made this year’s relentless stream of work border on enjoyable.

		<title>Avoiding Stone Age Practices in the Age of the Internet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Originally published on ProjectConnections.com January 2011. Albert Einstein once said &#8220;There are two things that are infinite, the universe, and human stupidity &#8212; and I&#8217;m not sure about the universe.&#8221; Like most people, I usually write this off as an amusing, sarcastic quip he made on a bad day.

		<title>Changing the Cultural Cement in Which Your Company Swims</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Originally posted on ProjectConnections.com I was recently told by another smarty-pants consultant that, &#8220;As long as the team makes a logical proposal to the executives, they will support their recommendation.&#8221; My retort: &#8220;Then why do people smoke?&#8221; I mean, it&#8217;s not logical to smoke.
