In business, politics and all the other areas of society that try to influence behavior, we work hard at understanding how people act, and why they do what they do.
Yet, generation after generation, there has been an almost automatic dismissal of teen culture as being poisoned by selfishness.
“Kids these days don’t show enough respect for […]
There was a time when a public speaker could count on the attention of their audience.
Blackberries, wireless laptops, and other tools mean that you’re no longer in control of the environment you’re speaking in. Are you talking to a room full of conference-goers, or to all the readers of live bloggers and folks Twittering your […]
There’s a mountain of analysis of what went wrong with Hillary Clinton’s drive for the presidential nomination.
I’m with the pundits who say it was her team’s assumption that they were orchestrating a coronation when they needed to be gearing up for a marathon race.

If a little bit of advertiser involvement in podcasts is good, a lot is better, right?

Let’s look at two business podcasts and how they treat their advertisers (or “sponsors”, if you want to pretend it’s not advertising).
On For Immediate Release, Shel Holtz and Neville Hobson talked openly about adding commentaries prepared and voiced by their […]
Customers of VOIP phone services are supposed to alert their service provider if they move, so the instructions can be changed for emergency services responding to a 911 call.
