Inspire me!
I think one of the biggest problems today, whether it be at school, in business, at home even, is that we are not inspired. We are so caught up in the moment that we don’t tend to see the bigger picture! Or we are so caught up in the moment trying to direct and manipulate [...]
Motivation in the oddest place.
We get a shot of inspiration in the strangest places. How about Lionel Ritchie? I love this guy and his story. Things happen around us and we are too caught up in the moment to know what is going on. Sometimes we need to listen to our landscape. Give this interview a watch.
Why not a 4 day work week?
So who exactly is responsible for the rule that we need to work 5 days a week? When we get a long weekend the euphoria is clearly felt. So why not make every day a 3 day weekend? I asked this question and THE ONLY people who were against it were business leaders! The fear [...]
Is there a key to success?
Have you ever spent any tie looking at the Berlin School of Leadership site? Bill Roedy did the 5th Anniversary and graduation speech for the Berlin School. AMAZING! Not that I was hearing anything new but it was great to hear these ideas from another voice. Tips to success from Bill the cable guy. [...]
The TEDxZU file
I have been a part of many TEDx events since 2009. I co-curated the 1st TEDxDubai with Giorgio Ungania in 2009, an amazingly HUGE event right out of the blocks. Then I found my home in events that are youth and education centered. Education centered in that they are organized by schools. TEDxAbuDhabiU was my [...]
7 Summits with Leanna Shuttleworth
I had the opportunity to meet Leanna Shuttleworth and hear her story. I love the fact that I have an opportunity to do a radio show, Nightline, on DubaiEye and meet people that I might actually meet at TED. Leanna has a great message at the end of the interview, appreciate what we have around us and see [...]
Plan fitness like your retirement!
How many of us have detailed plans for our retirement? And how many of us have taken a bit of time to plan our career? And do we plan and work on our relationships? I suspect most would answer yes and to what degree for each question. What about your life fitness? Do you have [...]
More than you want to know
Livestream has got to be one of my favorite places on the Internet. You name it, from National Geographic to a local radio station, it is being broadcast to the world through Livestream. And what I really love about Livestream content is the simple fact that this alternative content is easy to find and watch. [...]
Great Conversations are Worth a Million
This was a conversation I had with Dr. Naif Al Mutawa who joined me for a conversation about the latest developments with the 99 super hero series! This conversation took place in 2010 but feels like yesterday. The power of the spoken word to touch, motivate and inspire never ceases to amaze me.
Get Motivated!
In September I will be taking on the challenge of being the 1st chair of the Department of Mass Communication at the Canadian University of Dubai. The 1st question people ask is why am I leaving Zayed University after 12 years? Zayed University has been a great place to work and a fantastic personal innovation [...]
