The Future of Retailing…
It seems like there is a new article out every week on “the future of retailing.” This one is a few months old, but I was doing some research recently in preparation for a client meeting and came across this article. I share it now because I think that the themes are relevant, specifically this quote,
“Retail culture does not easily accept disruption. Resistance to change will be a major negative factor for many retailers who will not survive.”
How are we doing with this?

A Ted Talk that you should watch/listen to:
Can you tell the story of who you are with your “whole heart?” Are you authentic? Can you be vulnerable? For those of you who get a chance to see this – please send me any thoughts you have.

A book I recently enjoyed – The Art of Learning by Josh Waitzkin
Josh is a very interesting person: 8 time National Chess Champion before the age of 18; Martial Arts National and World Champion. I heard him interviewed a while back and picked up this book as a result of being intrigued by his interview. He is a little long winded in his “play by play” retelling of some of his chess matches and martial arts competitions, but the techniques he describes for increasing concentration and focus are worth the read.

Quote that I really like:
“Life is all about not knowing, and then doing something anyway. All of life is like this. All of it. And it’s not going to get any easier just because you found out you love your job cleaning septic tanks or you scored a dream gig writing indie movies.”
