This is my dad with his granddaughter (my niece), Bella, during a visit to North Carolina. In the spirit of full disclosure, my dad doesn’t actually turn 60 until this October. Nevertheless, he’s nearly hit this extraordinary milestone, so I thought I’d give him the benefit of the doubt. The story, itself, is pretty simple. I was traveling from Grand Rapids to Lansing yesterday in my mobile office.

A colleague shared an interesting article with me the other day. The article ( attached here ) was about a study done at the Wharton Business School on professional golfers. The premise is professional golfers miss putts for birdie more often than the miss the identical putts for par. The reason – bogeys are more dreaded than pars so they actually risk more to make the par putt than the birdie.

Across the nonprofit sector, organizations invest heavily in donor retention efforts, yet the struggle of cultivating lasting relationships remains. While attracting new donors is crucial, the lack of repeat donors poses significant financial risks. Through a comprehensive analysis of industry data, experts argue that there is a direct correlation between donor burnout, donor retention, and the talent retention crisis.

Mizz Information. Monday, June 25, 2012. What Does "Have it All" Even Mean? My feelings about the epic article about women and careers in The Atlantic that has everyone buzzing are thoroughly conflicted. As much as I agreed with and appreciated some of the issues the author raises in the article, as just a regular woman who is neither an ivy league professor nor a current or former director of anything, it was like reading an article written by an alien.

Tweet. Attendees experience a variety of emotions during a typical conference experience. Their short two- or three-day experience rivals that of any fictional drama. Hopes and dreams fill their minds. Anxiety, anticipation, excitement and fear jerk their emotions like a tilt-a-whirl. Egos and status posture for the lead emotional position. Emotions go from frustrations to fulfillment to frustrations in a matter of minutes.
