Live Wrinkle Free!

How do you look good at the end of a long day? Once upon a time I trav­eled over 175,000 air miles in one year. I am happy to say I don’t do that any­more. But, look­ing sharp at the end of the day is still a chal­lenge whether in the office or on the road. While many folks, includ­ing our own George Tier­ney, may think the break­through prod­uct of the decade is the iPhone, I say it’s the Non-Iron Dress Shirt from Brooks Brothers.

Facebook Passes Yahoo. Is Google Next?

It’s offi­cial — social media is no longer a fad. There are sev­eral rea­sons that under­line the fact that social media is now a full-fledged aspect of our per­sonal and work­ing lives. The most strik­ing is that Face­book sur­passed Yahoo’s traf­fic in Jan­u­ary, draw­ing 133.62 mil­lion unique vis­i­tors (leav­ing Yahoo behind at 132 mil­lion). This leaves Face­book sec­ond to only Google. And, if you think Google isn’t con­cerned, you’re fool­ing your­self (can any­one say Google Buzz??).

Irresistible Principles of Fun

Got fun? I will go out on a limb and speak for all of you: prob­a­bly not so much. I spend most of my wak­ing hours work­ing and com­plain­ing about my com­mute, rel­a­tives, weight, neg­a­tive bank bal­ance, and untrained dogs, just to name a few. You betcha I need more fun in my life and I’m guess­ing you do too.

In the Blink of an Eye

I recently came across a review about a new fundrais­ing book that sug­gests that match­ing a donor’s body lan­guage, includ­ing the rate at which they blink their eyes, can help fundrais­ers develop bet­ter rap­port with major donors. If you are inter­ested in fine tun­ing the way you make your case with donors, I sug­gest you put the blink­ing aside for just a moment and visit one of my favorite websites.
