		<title>How Kevin Spacey Teaches Us Attention to Detail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I didn&#8217;t know what I was going to blog about this morning, then I saw this on Lucretia Pruitt&#8217;s Facebook page. I want you to watch it all. Trust me, it&#8217;s so entertaining you won&#8217;t even notice it&#8217;s a bit long. Impersonations by Kevin Spacey (Inside the Actor&#8217;s Studio) It&#8217;s no secret that Kevin Spacey [...]]]></description>

		<title>Focus on Everything</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many an article is written on the topic of focus. People tell you that in order to meet your goals, you must push everything away that can distract you. You must focus on that one thing, until you achieve it &#8211; otherwise you run the risk of not accomplishing anything at all. I think that&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>One Simple Thing that Will Improve Your Content Today</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On an average day, I probably skim through about 200 web sites. Most of these I subscribe to in my Google Reader, so that I can quickly scan the headlines and in some cases, the first bits of content for items of interest. Of those 200 items, I probably scan the body content of about [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Cultivating Compassion Makes You a Better Communicator</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m witnessing such an influx these days of &#8220;Learn how to Tweet&#8221; courses, and &#8220;Use Facebook to Win Clients and Influence People&#8221; workshops. It&#8217;s got me quite frustrated. I&#8217;m also growing weary of the &#8220;Want to Pick My Brain? That will be $400,000 a day!&#8221; conversation. I&#8217;m afraid we&#8217;re moving away from the things we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Technology Catastrophe Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In case you&#8217;re just tuning in, here&#8217;s what happened the other day. Flash forward, 5:30pm today. I delicately removed my formerly soaked iPhone from its cozy rice bath, where it had spent the past 48 hours or so. I ever so carefully plugged it in. Nothing happened. Then, the faintest glow, of the battery recharge [...]]]></description>

		<title>Catastrophic Technology #FAIL</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a true story. Last night, I was in the bathroom. I washed my hands, then leaned over the (yes, it was clean!) toilet to grab a Kleenex. In one fell swoop, my iPhone slid from the pocket of my hoodie and&#8230;..kerplop. Yes. Ker. Plop. I panicked, grabbed the sopping wet phone from the [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Want to Know What You Had for Lunch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My, my, but we&#8217;re a serious bunch. This post is inspired by a YouTube video that my Twitter buddy Geoff Livingston posted recently. The video is called &#8220;20 Silly Twitter Remarks&#8221; and if you want a good chuckle, take 3 minutes and watch it. As I was watching, two thoughts occurred to me. First, for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Are We So Hung Up on Influence?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow. Suddenly all anyone seems to be talking about in the social media world is influence. Tools like Klout, a system that uses some sort of complex calculation to say how influential you are on Twitter, are rising to popularity. Now, social media dashboard app HootSuite has jumped on the bandwagon too, posting Twitter users&#8217; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Engagement, Authenticity, Influence: I&#8217;m Calling Shenanigans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh, how we love our buzzwords, eh? My head is spinning lately, and unfortunately it&#8217;s not with great stuff. It&#8217;s with frustration, distrust, and apathy. Those are heavy words, I know &#8211; but I&#8217;m feeling them. How I do love these social media. I really do. Connections I&#8217;ve made on Twitter, Facebook, through my blog [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Love Affair with Canada</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a confession to make. I have a huge, giant crush on Canada. She&#8217;s totally my type, in every way. Oh sure, I&#8217;m probably a bit biased, but I come by it honestly. I am Canadian, after all. I am extraordinarily lucky that Canada has allowed me to take up space on her for [...]]]></description>
