“And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” ~Hebrews 12:1 Later today, the local Community Running Group I started last year will gather for its weekly run. It will be our first gathering since the bombings at the Boston Marathon. Tonight, I will run with a heavy heart. Tonight, I will run [...]
Lesson In Leadership: Just Start
April 4, 2013 by Leave a Comment
A little over two years ago I took up the sport of running. I’ve written a few posts about this over that period and looking back, it’s clear to me that the biggest take-away for me is this: just start! It sounds so simple but it’s incredibly rewarding. It doesn’t need to be perfect; it [...]

Happy Wednesday! I wanted to give you a quick update on the TCH BookClub Conversation we’ve been talking about for the past few weeks. We’ve heard back from Seth Godin, author of The Icarus Deception: How High Will You Fly, and he’s unable to join us for a conversation. I’m extremely disappointed by this news and, [...]

It’s time to find a new normal. It’s time to commit to a different way of doing things. What we are doing today is not working anymore. No, I did not get up on the wrong side of the bed today, but I did get up at 4:30am and that may be part of it [...]

I came across this quote from John Lennon this morning. I thought it was a great follow-up to my conversation with Jonathan Mead earlier this week. Be well and make it a great day! Marc Vaillancourt @bassclefmusic
Life Over Coffee: A New Series? A New Project?
January 25, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Almost three years ago, the idea for The Conversation Hub came to me. It took a few months for some of the details to come together, but the idea came without notice, without much fanfare. Next week, I’ll be posting episode #132 – not bad for an idea/concept that came out of nowhere. The same [...]

I’m not sure how it happen and why it happened, but it did happen. What happened you ask? In my opinion it’s very simple … at some point in the past 236 years, we – the citizens of this great nation – forgot how to engage in civil conversations when it comes to the “hot [...]
