I have a confession to make: I am highly impressionable.
My coworkers hate it when I attend a conference because I come back spewing jargon and parroting business parables. When I read a good book, I look for ways to immediately apply it to my workplace. Yes, I am the girl who actually uses the phrase "Begin with the end in mind" (thank you, Steven Covey) when doing strategic planning.
Right now I'm reading about John the Baptist, and I just can't stop with the fishing analogies. This morning during our staff meeting, I honestly said, "We've got to stop casting a wide net and hoping a few fish will jump in." I don't know where it comes from; I've been fishing once in my life, and that was with a guide who baited my hook.
Warning: I'm seeing Zig Ziglar next Wednesday. See you at the top! Oooh, somebody smack me.

Maybe YOU should be a motivational speaker.
I'm loving the old pics you've added to your site...especially the ones of fuzzy-haired Lonnie!
i think we may have more in common than I ever knew...I'm reading "Love and Respect" and I relate it to everything in the world right now. Zig Ziglar? You better be joking..and if you're not, I wanna go!
Jen,
I think Lori should be a motivational speaker...she could live in a van down by the river!!
Well, in the words of Joey Tribbiani, I am quite wisdomous.
And yes, DeWood, I am really going to see Zig in Springdale. One of the radio reps is taking me to try to retain our business. :)
good luck with that....radio = dead.
