I know an editorial assistant at ELLE magazine who reports how his boss, the Editor in Chief no less, handles meetings with grace and ease. Now, I know what you’re probably thinking: ELLE magazine, high fashion publication, snooty employees and an even snootier boss…it’s The Devil Wears Prada!
However, let me reassure you, this is hardly the case. It’s not an ice-cold office environment with high heels and even higher upturned noses. In fact, my friend assures me it’s actually quite pleasant, and everyone, including Mrs. EIC, is a joy to work with.
Like I said, he cites weekly editorial meetings as an example as to why ELLE is a great working environment. You think these meetings are those types you see in movies: all the employees gathered round a table chatting and as soon as the boss walks in–stern faced as…
I went to the National Speakers Association conference in San Diego and roomed with my pal Steve Spangler.
He started the whole viral craze around Diet Coke and Mentos (really, he did!) and at the conference I helped (barely) as he sent up 158 bottles of coke and drenched a bunch of totally psyched up kids.
Check out the video here, and you’ll (occasionally) hear my voice. (I filmed a huge part of it.)
It’s fun. Steve’s a great guy, and the product is totally cool.

I was interviewed by my pal Rebecca Morgan for a teleseminar for the SpeakerNetNews.
It was successful, fun, and I think you’ll love it.

First of all, I hate Spam… (unless it’s fried). I never rent, trade or sell my email list to anyone for any reason whatsoever. Not even if they give me $1 Million. (If they give me $3 Million, you might be in trouble, but
seriously, what are the chances?) You’ll never get an unsolicited email from a stranger
as a result of joining this list. Not that I’m not pretty strange, but… well… you get the idea.
TYPOS!
Finally, some readers love to find typos, grammar errors and other sundry goofs. I occasionally leave them in just to make those people happy. So if you found some… Yippee! It’s you’re lucky day.
If you’re still reading this far down, you REALLY need to find a hobby. It’s over! All done.
Seriously dude. It’s time to get back to work. Don’t you have some email to return or something?
Ok, now you’re just pushing it. You need some serious help with time management. Move on baby! This thing is over!
Since you’re still here, here’s a video of a flash mob performance in Seattle. I love it for two reasons. One, the energy is undeniable. I’d love to be part of one, and I’d love to witness one. Second, what killer marketing for the TV show. Hire some dancers, and let YouTube have it’s way. I wish I had thought of it.
You must be craving more. Why are you here? I bet you have something that you SHOULD be doing but don’t want to. Clean your desk. Get coffee. Call your mom.
There has to be a better way to procrastinate than this!
Since you’re here …might as well check out my blog. (Hey! If you can’t fight it, embrace it!)
