Civilization is losing its civility, it would seem. I fear the art of disagreeing without being disagreeable is becoming a lost art form. Should it even have to be an art form, and not the result of good manners? Why am I being so dramatic? Well, for

Another day comes to an end in Prague and this one was quite rewarding actually. I will be the first to admit that I was very uncertain about unleashing on my communications peers from around the world a panel of IBO bloggers who have varied histories

It's great to finally have Lynn here in the Zone with her Beta Mom blog . She doesn't give herself enough credit to be an Alpha Mom, but that's what makes her so great -- humbleness and self deprecation. Kinda like Kathy Griffin whose cable

Happy Birthday O'zoners, and congratulations on a great first year! I just read David Prescott's musings in Code Review and have to agree, it does seem like much longer than a year for the Opportunity Zone. Well, for me that's especially true

Do you have a Google alert set up for your name? I do. No, it's not vanity (well, maybe a little). But if my name does appear in another blog or in a news piece, it's work-related and I want to see what others are saying about me, just like I

No, I'm not jumping the gun and skipping all of fall to go straight to winter. Actually, it's been in the 80s all this week, so snow and sleet are the last things on our minds here in Michigan. Actually, I'm posting about the "snowball"

Due to all the legal activities going on, we haven't been able to say too much here in the Opportunity Zone lately. There's lots I wish we could talk about, but we certainly wouldn't want to say or do things that hurt our legal position. Check

Within the walls of Quixtar (and beyond), some have mistakenly assumed that my role as Manager of the PR and Editorial groups makes me some sort of "chief editor" for the company. If my clumsy blog writing style hasn't already made this

Success From Home
Over the past few years, it has been my privilege to help share true IBO stories through a number of vehicles, like www.thisbiznow.com , Success from Home Magazine, and the "Facts About Quixtar" DVD (and, now, website). Lots of stories have

Despite a headline that maybe doesn't match the content, a nice article about Quixtar appeared in this week's issue of MiBiz, a Michigan business publication. The Quixtar article, "Blogging for dollars," focuses on our First Circle efforts
