What is in a Name? 9 Impersonal Expressions!

I can't help about blogging on this topic– What's In a A Name?

As this blog exists to make us ponder both the complicated and most basic in human behavior– I felt compelled to cover this.  Why?  Who knows– DUDE! You will laugh more later. 🙂

For the sake of this blog post- lets assume that we are talking about two guys that are trying to converse with each other yet do not OR cannot remember the other person's name. 

So, here goes… my TOP 9 List of expressions you might hear them say… instead of the other person's name:

  1. Hey Buddy
  2. Hey Chief
  3. Hey Brother
  4. Hey Dude
  5. Hey Big Man
  6. Hey Partner
  7. Hey Man
  8. Hey Big Guy
  9. Hey Bro

Ok, well I hope this makes you smile.  I have a lot of neat posts upcoming but sometimes I have to remind my self that the premise of this blog… is to make us "consider" why we do and say the things we do.  Can you think of other expressions?

Have a great week.

I don’t know about you, but I have a hard time deciphering the true message from a sea of shortened words and acronyms. Clarity has died in our world.Unfortunately we cannot afford to…

The 5 C’s of Effective Communications– an Overview

Communications is an integral part of our society. On a daily basis, babies cry for food, teens negotiate with their parents, and adults convey their thoughts to their peers. However all of the previous examples are considered ineffective unless the audience understands the message that you are trying to present.Take the last sentence for instance; did you understand what I was trying to say?Probably not.  That sentence was neither clear, consistent, nor creative, and did not display my content in a way that made a connection with you, the reader.Think of your favorite speakers-Martin Luther King, Jr., Mother Teresa, or…

Are work moments the new work day?

 It seems that there is no such things  as a normal work day anymore.Most people--seem to do work every day (weekends etc.) and at all hours of the day. No wonder so many of us are... running ragged, swamped, buried, slammed, drowning... well you get the idea!The fact is we are all connected to our job and the world 24-7. My hypothesis for our rapidly changing and moving world is that  there really is no such thing as just having "work hours" (i.e. 8-5 MON-FRI) anymore.We are connected-- all the time-- with starts and stops in our work!  I call this...…
