		<title>Authenticity and the Race for the White House</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll start the new year with a post on one of my favorite subjects: Authenticity. I will always keep my blog free of my personal political opinions, but I have plenty to say about the communication styles displayed by the candidates. As you might imagine, the political season is like a candy store for someone [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do What You Love, And You&#8217;ll Never Work a Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was mid-sentence in a coaching session the other day, when my client interrupted me. &#8220;Why do you love what you do so much?&#8221;  he asked. The question intrigued me on many levels, the first of which was that I had not mentioned that I love what I do. That means it was just showing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Next Stop: 2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is my favorite week of the year &#8211; that time between Christmas and New Year&#8217;s Day. There is still enough of the 2010 holiday to have some fun, and all of the possibilities of the new year are straight ahead. It&#8217;s the week that is reflective and prospective at the same time. I was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thankful</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s the time of year that we all do a little inventory. We look back at the year and measure the wins, losses and draws.  I have to say that 2010 has been one of the best years of my life. My daughter is now old enough to be my friend, my mother is still [...]]]></description>

		<title>Robocalls Continue to Dial the Wrong Number</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As expected, the phone rang at dinner time last night. It has been ringing every night at dinner time for the last three weeks. It&#8217;s always the same call &#8211; the annoying pre-recorded political call &#8211; lambasting the other side, whichever the other side is. The last few have been especially annoying, because they always start [...]]]></description>

		<title>Presentation Tips &#8211; Authenticity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Of the many good presentation tips and techniques, there is one too often overlooked.  It is simply autheniticity. A spokesperson may be cool and calm. They breath right. They project beautifully. Excellent, natural gestures.  All of those things are important.  But what about the ability to speak in a way that says, &#8220;this is who [...]]]></description>

		<title>What’s Your Story?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some months, I spend a majority of my time doing media and message development training. Lately, though, I&#8217;ve been doing a lot of executive presentation training, and I&#8217;ve noticed that most executives have one thing in common. They haven&#8217;t given much thought to their story. Oh, they spend hours thinking about their presentation. What data [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jon Stewart and the National Conversation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First, you need to know that I am a Jon Stewart fan.  I was listening to him on NPR last night, and he reaffirmed that his show is not intended to be a news show (although an alarming number of people &#8211; most of them young &#8211; say The Daily Show is their #1 source [...]]]></description>

		<title>Communicating the Happy Valley Way</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When you send a child to college for the first time, you spend a lot of time on the phone. You talk with advisors; with the bursar&#8217;s office; with the admissions folks; with the local banker.  When you&#8217;re there on campus, you meet with many of these people in person. My daughter is in her [...]]]></description>

		<title>Who Let the Dogs Out?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK, this one is simple and brief.  The dog talk has got to stop. For years, corporate spokespeople have been using &#8220;best of breed&#8221; and &#8220;top pedigree&#8221; to describe their people and products.  Those are American Kennel Club terms! And here is my favorite &#8220;we eat our own dog food&#8221;.  EWWWWWWW. Why are so many [...]]]></description>
