What Infidelity Does To A Woman
Earlier this week, we learned that Arnold Schwarzenegger fathered a child with his housekeeper forcing wife Maria Shriver to hire a divorce attorney. Every time I hear of something like this happening whether in the entertainment industry, political arena, my family, or at church, something deeply bothers me on the inside. It just makes me angry when the […]
Maxim’s Top 100 Hottest Women List Is Missing One Notable Individual
Tuesday evening I was in a Charlotte hotel reading the USA Today. In the Life section there was a snippet that mentioned Maxim magazine was coming out with their annual 100 Hottest Women edition. I am not a reader of Maxim but I was thinking that the list simply could not be accurate because as […]
The 11 Greatest Fears Of Men In Their 40s
I am proud to be a man. I’m not a chauvinist but I have learned to appreciate the unique wiring that men have. I enjoy looking like a man, eating like a man, doing man-things, dressing like a man, and watching sports and action movies. And I refuse to wear skinny jeans.  If you’re a man wearing […]

The Best Leadership Advice I Ever Heard
There is no shortage of leadership advice and suggestions in the world today. Matter of fact, you get a lot on this website. However, when I think of the best leadership advice I ever received, I have to go back to 1990.

Ladies, How To Welcome A Man Home
“He’s home! He’s home! He’s home!” My favorite part of each day takes place between 6:30 to 7:00 PM every night. That is when the garage door goes up, the car pulls in, and I walk in the door arriving home from a hard but productive day at work. It has become our family tradition […]
How To Make The Best Decision You’ve Never Made
                                                                                  Leaders like movement. They have a bias towards action.  The chief characteristic for those in leadership is that by definition they are taking people somewhere. Therefore, conflicting feelings spring forth in us as times arise when the best decision is to do nothing at all or just say “No”. Leaders frequently struggle with signs that say STOP, Yield, or Do Not Enter. John Heyman of […]
