http://turner-poet.blogspot.com/2013/03/toastmasters-contest-update.html
Words of Consequence, Written by a Man of None. Saturday, March 2, 2013. Folks have been asking for a video of my contest speech, here it is! EDIT: Snagged Second place at the Devision, and Third at the District. What a wild ride! Before I say another word. I want to say this, we are all brilliant. Others of you may have been told that you’re not smart, not smart enough. By classmates, or by teachers, or by a standardized test score. Many of our schools today are asking Salmon to try their best to pick t...

The Blessed Paradox: September 2013
http://turner-poet.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Words of Consequence, Written by a Man of None. Monday, September 23, 2013. Lean Journey 1: Defining Value, Eliminating Muda. Day one of the Lean Journey. I was tempted to begin writing a history of "Lean" thinking, but It's been done better by others, and in the interest of avoiding "muda" (oh, I didn't mention we'd also be learning some Japanese along the way too) I'll just give some recommended reading as we go. Lean at a macro scale deals in "Value Streams." A value stream takes some input and tu...

Words of Consequence, Written by a Man of None. Friday, August 17, 2012. VIII: The Importance of Espionage. My dear Nightshade,. It has been some time since you have responded to my letters, and I am beginning to grow concerned. I understand that my tone has been adversarial of late, but that is no excuse, and I will not relent. In my defense, I simply could not resist. Can find the leverage to capitalize on it. Your Affectionate Uncle,. Thursday, August 9, 2012. VII: On Generational Curses. The main poi...

http://turner-poet.blogspot.com/2012/12/goal-setting-step-three.html
Words of Consequence, Written by a Man of None. Monday, December 31, 2012. Goal Setting: Step Three. Once you've got your list, the next step is to figure out which set of goals you think are in front of you to work on right now. There are two different metrics I used for scoring my goals, Importance and Timing. The scales (feel free to adapt them however you like) Looked like this (with examples from my list). 1 Downright silly (Target shooting with a large caliber rifle). Obviously, the extent to which...

Words of Consequence, Written by a Man of None. Monday, December 31, 2012. Goal Setting: Step One. Step One: Digging down to core values. Imagine a bunch of managers fresh from the airport sitting around a hotel conference room at 8 in the morning, ready for a day of learning about how to be more effective managers. They're sporting power suits, fancy watches, holding their executive pens and their notepads. They aren't expecting what's about to come. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
