Stroke Forward
My stroke took me by surprise. I thought I was too young, too fit. Had we known BE FAST, the acronym that tells you the symptoms that stroke victims have, maybe I would have gotten to the hospital sooner. B – Balance E – Eyes or vision F – Face drooping A – Arm or leg weakness S – Speech difficulty T – Time to call 911 If you see…

Ian Patterson Describes His Disability as... Interesting
Ian Patterson Describes His Disability as… Interesting
Ian Patterson concentrated on the 3D printer that had recently plugged up. He had his wheelchair positioned so that he could stand upright on one leg and use the arm for his residual right knee… and appeared not to notice it. At that moment, I knew this interview would be special. The past couple of years have been rough on Ian. Two years ago he wound up with a wound that would not heal, a…

3D Printers Brings Hands... and Happiness
Want the hand of a superhero? Now days you can with Wolverine… or awaken the source when you pull out your Star Wars light saber… or become Queen Elsa from Disney’s Frozen. According to the latest news, prosthetic limbs can be made for children in about 20 hours. It takes another two or three hours to assemble them. I Have “Superpowers” The most amazing part of the story? Recipients are excited…

Is There Beef In That Burger?
Is There Beef In That Burger?
When I started reading about 3D printing as an industry, I did not believe I would see food as a category. While it is not generally in large supply yet, the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) showed its interest in 3D printing by partnering with 3D Systems last year. Now, learning to use ChefJet Pro has come into the food classroom. Take Time Analyze [Background music.] It seems like I am 5…

The Next Wave In Prosthetics - 3D Printing
The Next Wave In Prosthetics – 3D Printing
In high school Nanette had a prosthetic arm made of plastic. She wore it because she felt it made her look more “normal” and kept her from being called out. She didn’t have any finger movements. In fact, nothing made it special. I sometimes think of her and wonder if she’s upgraded to what’s available today. Prosthetics Made By 3D-Printers…

Are Unlimited Vacation Days Coming?
Are Unlimited Vacation Days Coming?
LinkedIn, Virgin Group, and Netflix have decided that an unlimited vacation policy is the only policy their businesses need when it comes to time off. It turns out that less than 1% of the companies in the U.S. have unlimited vacation policies. So what do Jeff Weiner, Richard Branson, and Reed Hastings know that we don’t? Put people first. Customers will follow. So will profits. These companies…

Do You Say "Yes" or "No" to Mission Statements?
Do You Say “Yes” or “No” to Mission Statements?
When was the last time you thought about your mission statement? Are you following it or did you just stick it in a drawer somewhere? If you are working for a company that’s not your own, maybe you haven’t even seen it. Go look on the website right now and see if your mission statement speaks to you. Mission Statement Don’ts I have seen enough mission statements on websites that leave me feeling…

10 -10 - 10
10 -10 – 10
10-10-10. It’s not the combination to my lock at the health club. It’s one new way to think about decision making. 10-10-10 stands for 10 minutes, 10 months, and 10 years. I learned about this technique when I read Decisive, How to Make Better Choices in Life and Work by Chip and Dan Heath. If you are like me, I don’t like picking up the phone or hobnobbing with someone at a network event if I…

OMG, I've Made A Mistake!
OMG, I’ve Made A Mistake!
How frequently do you fear hearing that same phrase, despite your best efforts to go about your job without making any mistakes? For some reason, mistakes seem like a four letter word in some companies. Management thinks that the assumptions they’ve made hold water. But what if the assumptions they have made are wrong? You could be holding a leaky bucket and nobody has bothered to wonder if…

Engagement... Do We Ask The Right Questions?
Engagement… Do We Ask The Right Questions?
Lately I have been wondering about employer engagement and why it always seems to be so low. In a recent Gallup survey, 34.1% of the people polled said their work was engaging. That statistic has inched up (and down) since 2011, the time Gallup started asking the questions online like: “There is someone at work who encourages my development.” (Gallup) The thing about these particular questions…

“Zentangle” Your Way To Less Stress
“Zentangle” Your Way To Less Stress
Life at the office has left you feeling frustrated. It didn’t seem to matter what you accomplished, it felt wrong. Now, you feel stressed and anxious and really don’t know what to do about it. Do you just stew on it and become even angrier? Do you tell your friends? Or…do you try something different called Zentangle? Michelle Keeley, CZT, suggests taking a Zentangle class will give you the tool…

Do First Impressions Last?
Do First Impressions Last?
I heard John Maeda speak on Capital Hill one time. Frankly, he didn’t impress me. Yes, he held the President’s position at Rhode Island School of Design (or RISD) and had everything to do with moving the STEM environment to STEAM. But the whole initiative left me feeling that it was for politicians to pose before the camera rather than to move the initiative forward. I was wrong. Open Ears, Open…

Video Games Come to Life
Video Games Come to Life
Video games didn’t mean much to me before my stroke. Oh, one would come around every now and then like Ice Age or Norse by Norse West. Who doesn’t like a big, burly men with scorpions flinging flames of their tails to spice up the game with danger? But, for the most part, I viewed games as a waste of time. Do Games Even Make Sense? My thoughts changed pretty significantly after I had my stroke.…

A Sea Change Is Coming
A Sea Change Is Coming
My friend, Robert, and I talked about trust yesterday as we sat at lunch and figured out the state of the world. Trust is so important for us today, but it seems at an all time low. Politics. Government. Business. Everywhere we turned, the discussion got a little bit more uneasy. The Paradigm Shift Although we a bit unclear of what the future holds at first, Robert and I felt confident that the…

An Anniversary I Will Remember
An Anniversary I Will Remember
Tomorrow is the second anniversary of my stroke. I remember how people reacted when I told them I had one. My friends commented on how pleased they felt about my progress – regardless of where they met me in the process. (Thank you. Your words were so important to me!) Didn’t Know How Bad I Looked I didn’t realize how bad I looked until I viewed a video someone took of me about a month out. Ouch.…
