Good Leadership in Challenging Times

Hello Everyone:

Please forgive the apparent silence, but we have been dealing with a trojan virus that made it impossible to post new blogs.

I have an exciting series of parenting blogs coming your way for December, so stay tuned for those.

In the meantime, I just had an article published by the American Management Association, called Good Leadership in Challenging Times. Click here to read it.

Warmest Regards,

Coach Paul

A Historic Agreement

I never thought the day would come when I would ever agree with something that Jesse Jackson said. But I suppose that hell got a little colder this week, because, for once, he and I are of the same mind. For those of you who didn’t catch it, this past Wednesday, the Reverend Jesse Jackson made this typical, over-the-top statement: “You can’t vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man.” Normally, I would be offended by such a bombastic declaration, but this time I found myself amazed by Jesse’s insight. You see, for a long time I’ve been struggling with an embarrassing identity issue. So Jesse’s statement on Wednesday provided me with much needed clarification.

While I believe that our healthcare system does need some fixing, even overhauling, I would vote against the current healthcare proposal in a heartbeat. Therefore, in Jesse’s world, I should no longer count myself as a black man. It turns out that Jesse’s announcement was right on target, but probably for a different reason than he thought. What Jesse didn’t know is that for the past several weeks I have been eating Activia for breakfast. And thanks to Jamie Curtis, slowly, but surely, I have been turning into a middle aged white woman. How did Jesse know?

Warmest Regards,
