Career Suicide, or Worse: Avoiding the Inevitable Stupid Thing To Say
November 24th, 2010 // 10:57 pm @ M.H. Nicholas
Mr. Berejnoi did what so many of us are on the verge of doing – saying something later regretted. We can’t gather the words once they leave our lips, and we should be reminded that every moment can have this level of significance.

Seeking to Change the World? Get over it.
November 13th, 2010 // 8:48 pm @ M.H. Nicholas
Changing the world is a concept for the naïve.* Many of the most powerful people, the richest people and the most philanthropic have tried, and failed. There may be an impact, a blip, a change to a sphere within the broader humanity, but at its core things continue generally along.

Farting Leaders – An Introduction
November 13th, 2010 // 8:48 am @ M.H. Nicholas

Has your cancer taught you nothing? -Eaten alive by petty things.
November 12th, 2010 // 6:37 pm @ M.H. Nicholas
I find myself thinking about petty things these days- -the things that don’t matter but somehow become all consuming. Petty things are parasites over otherwise healthy relationships and processes and ravage what they touch. We all have countless examples. For instance, even a passing glance – taken as unfriendly – can cause the recipient of the glance terrible confusion about the “meaning”, even if the look was entirely inadvertent.

Sephora Executive offers review of I Come First
November 9th, 2010 // 10:53 pm @ M.H. Nicholas
Compassionate observation and take-no-prisoners advice make I Come First an indispensable guide to finding one’s place in the working world. From the mundane (“Drink lots of water.”) to the sublime (“Power over your emotions and your life…is too much to sell in exchange for a salary.”), Nicholas’ humor and humanity resonate —for those new to the workplace, and for those of us entrenched in it. – Mary Herald
