Where’s Tom Brady? Hide out Decisions and Good Books

With all the talk of Tom Brady missing in action, I can’t help but wonder if this isn’t a planned strategy on his part.  Sometimes hiding out is the best of all decisions.  It gives one time to think and plan.  It is an opportunity to evalute past decisions and prepare for future ones.  It [...]

A Goal and a Link!

Here it is, the silent ad in the midst of The Pat’s 4th Super Bowl appearance. It is an historic first — someone’s dream come true. Someone set his mind to a goal and achieved it. ( See yesterday’s blog post). As an Italian dreamer, I would like to own a Ferrari, Lamborghini, or Maserati. [...]

Hillary’s VP, Relationships, TACT® Strategy Decisions

We know that politicians make strange bedfellows. But I would like to find the article in which it is suggested that the Clinton team approach the Obama team and say, “Let’s make a deal. You drop out of the race and we make you the VP. Within eight years, you will have the experience and [...]
