Sharing your Work

I wrote a LinkedIn article about a month ago and then decided to share it across a number of groups – groups that had 70,000+ members associated to them. As I wrote some clever summary I worried about how it would be perceived, what would people think?  Would they love it?  Would they hate it?  Would they tear it apart? I could feel my brow furrowing and sweat starting to form as I clicked “Post”. And then I waited… Waited… Still waiting… Nothing happened, a few people liked it, but that was about it.

I Need that Fix

I need my coding fix to keep the logical part of my brain happy. I need my writing fix to get out everything I have in my head.

You Need to Shake Up Your Game

Pick your sport of choice today, now find your favourite athlete. Now watch them, watch them closely – watch what they do when they are on offense, what they do when they are defense, watch how they react to the plays coming at them, watch how they run the plays with the rest of their team. What do you notice?  What do they all have in common across any sport? They don’t do the same thing over and over and over again.  Sure one might have a great jump shot, but it doesn’t mean they don’t try for the layups to
