		<title>Listen up, guys!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a great success tip for all the guys out there in management: Start hearing the women on your team. Whoa! Calm down! You didn&#8217;t think I meant YOU, did you? Certainly not! I&#8217;m sure you don&#8217;t have a problem with this. It&#8217;s all those OTHER guys out there. Or is it? Let me tell [...]]]></description>

		<title>Avoiding the &#8220;Bonehead Move.&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[People can make such bonehead moves, can’t they? I’m sorry, but it’s true! Take this story, for example &#8230; A sales team of twenty people were competing with each other in a friendly, month-long contest. At their end-of-month meeting, the manager got up and announced the two winners. Everything was fun and upbeat &#8230; until [...]]]></description>

		<title>Case Study: Difficult Conversation Between Peer-Level Teams.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a conversation this past week with a physician/administrator who needed to address an on-going problem with another team. Here’s the email she was planning to send: “Hi guys, There was a patient last night [ who was transferred to our unit without you briefing us on the case ]. If you would like [...]]]></description>

		<title>Love your job?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was ordering a take-out lunch the other day and was really struck by the young woman behind the counter who was helping me. She was polite and efficient, but at the same time she seemed to be almost constitutionally unable to smile. We made direct eye contact several times throughout the ordering process but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fired for being unhappy?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Do you know anybody who is clearly not happy in their job? Someone who’s always whining and complaining about this or that, always spreading their negativity around to the rest of the team? Me too. I’m sure every organization has them. For me, whenever I meet someone like that I always think, since they’re so [...]]]></description>

		<title>Presentation Tip #2: The PowerPoint Problem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was at a conference this last week and it reminded me again how much I hate PowerPoint. I’m sorry, but I really do. It just makes for the most awful, boring, “shoot me now” presentations I’ve ever seen. There are two big mistakes people make with PowerPoint: 1) They make the slides the star; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Presentation Tip: &#8220;Be the Host&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How do you like giving presentations? Do you look forward to it? If so, you’re in the minority. It scares most people to death! I was in Atlanta doing a session this last Monday—for Anthem/BCBS—and it reminded me that I actually love it. (Especially when it’s with such a great group of people!) That’s a [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Elevate the Conversation&#8221; (Outstanding!)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[NOTE: As I was finishing up Don’t Just Talk, Be Heard! last Spring, my good friend John Miller called one day to say he had a new book he wanted to write. (Translation: Let’s start writing—today!) Fantastic!, I thought. And, AAAAHHH!!! Needless to say the next few months were crazy. (I actually started to have [...]]]></description>

		<title>2020 Vision (Not for your eyes. For your life.)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Four years ago, we started a new family tradition. During the last week of the year, we all sit on the couch, turn the video camera on ourselves, and recap everything that’s happened during the year. At this stage, with two kids under five, the videos are very sweet. I can also already tell how [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ho Ho Ho! (Ha Ha Ha! He He He!)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the things I find most sweet about Peter at this age is that he hasn’t quite developed his lying skills yet, or the instincts to cover up bad behavior. For example: “Peter, where are you? What are you doing?” “Don’t come in here.” “Why?” “I don’t want to tell you.” “Why not?” “Because [...]]]></description>
