Mornin' in Milwaukee

Image via Wikipedia

Milwaukee is misunderstood. Most of the people I know think of Milwaukee as:
1) a city in a flyover state
2) full of farmers
3) in the middle of steamy farmland.

Well folks, that isn't my experience. It's gorgeous here.

Bike rides along the lake are part of the perks of dealing with the urban life as are great museums, galleries,restaurants, theater and beaches. I really think you should come see us.

Stepping up my game

I am a Leadership Coach. 

I help men and women lead their organizations with passion and purpose.  I learn from people like Seth Godin and Tom Peters.  With their help, and books like Passion for Excellence and publications like Fast Company, I am inspired to share. So what is the point of today's post?  If you want to "find your people"  you must read.

People will say all kinds of things but there is no replacement for good writing.  Advice from experts is not a bad idea either and is better in print.

That's my opinion.

I want to be good writer and an expert.  I will go forth...and read.  Today:  The Pursuit of WOW! by Tom Peters, of course.

I have been away for awhile...

I confess. I have been having a lot of fun exploring Milwaukee. This is a small city (about 275,000) with big heart and I have been loving it back. I have been enjoying my stay-cation moments very much, thank you.

I think we all need to take breaks. Lots of them. It may be that we can't take that three weeks away from our job or we have used up our time off at our sister's wedding or we are banking it for Christmas. And you may think that vacations are only good when we get away. I have an alternative: Stay.

Live with purpose and for pleasure. Give with joy and satisfaction. Breathe and be calm.

Now that's a good stay-cation.
