Resources with Descriptions

If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.” — Abraham Maslow

Here are arrows for your quiver and more tools for your toolbox

30 Day Series …

The 30 Days Series is based on 30 Day Improvement Sprints. For 30 days, focus on learning something new, practicing a skill, changing a habit, or simply improving a particular aspect in your work or in your life.

101 Lists

101 Lists are lists of 101 insights and actions for a particular topic. Here are some examples of 101 lists:

  • 101 of the Great Insights and Actions for Work and Life
  • 101 Questions that Empower You
  • 101 Ways to Motivate Yourself and Others

Checklists

Present a verification to perform (“what to check for”, “how to check” and “how to fix”.)  Here are some examples:

  • Focus Checklist
  • Leadership Checklist
  • Time Management Checklist

Featured Guests

From time to time you’ll see guest posts or interviews.  I like to draw insight from book authors and experts and specialists.  Here are some examples:

  • Gretchen Ruben on The Top 10 Lessons Learned in Happiness
  • Jim Kouzes on the Top 10 Leadership Lessons
  • Marie Forleo on Lessons in Life

Free eBooks

Great Books

In addition to quotes and people, books have been one of my greatest sources of knowledge. My book recommendations are hand-crafted indexes of the books that I’ve found to be the most useful.  Here are examples:

  • Business Books
  • Leadership Books
  • Personal Development Books

Great People

People are one of my best sources of insight. I draw from some well-known heroes and unsung heroes, as well as my personal heroes and everyday heroes. I also have a lot of mentors that I draw from.  Here are examples:

  • Lessons Learned from Bruce Lee
  • Lessons Learned from Seth Godin
  • Lessons Learned from Tony Robbins

Great Quotes

I think quotes are one of the best ways to share the wisdom of the ages and modern day sages. I’m a fan of using quotes both to share insight as well as draw from when I need them.  Here are examples:

  • Buddha Quotes
  • Dr. Seuss Quotes
  • Simplicity Quotes

How Tos

I think skills often make the difference between success and failure. I think one of the best ways to share skills and expertise is through How Tos. How Tos are step by step articles to help you accomplish a task.  Here are examples:

  • How To Repair a Broken Work Relationship
  • How To Solve Problems with Skill
  • How To Use the PMI Technique to Improve Your Thinking

Lists

I like lists. They help put information at your fingertips in a simple and distilled way. Here are examples:

  • 36 Best Business Books that Influenced Microsoft Leaders
  • What 16 Movies Teach Us About Life and Leadership
  • What 25 Holiday Classics Teach Us About Life and Fun
