So you’re going/have gone on a vacation, aren’t you? Well, the weekend will come up, and you’ll have some sort of break–your to-do list non-withstanding. But you won’t take a break. No you won’t.

Why Lack of Talent Can’t Be Blamed on Genes
It’s easy to blame your parents for your lack of great genes. It’s just as easy to praise your parents for their superb genes. But while genes may be a handed down trait, talent is not. And to understand talent you have to first understand genes. Genes are sequences of DNA letters that when activated […]
The Curse of the 10,000-hour ‘Talent Syndrome’
Imagine if someone told you that you needed 10,000 hours to learn to drive a car. No? What about 5000 hours then? Would that be suitable? How about 3000 hours? Or 1000? Or 500? Ok, how about 60 hours? A very average person with a reasonable fear of cars can learn to drive in about […]

How To Get High Scores In Seminars and Workshops
When I first started doing seminars in the year 2001, I’d start off talking. And flipping slides. And then talking some more. And then two days or three days would pass. Then I’d hand out the feedback forms. And invariably someone would be upset. They’d think the music was too loud. They’d wonder why there […]
Why An Audience Matters (More Than Talent)
The cartoons before the encouragement (notice, no colour). And then, along came an audience. 🙂 I was lousy at marketing. Well, let’s put it this way: I was (and still am) an outstanding cartoonist. And marketing was nowhere close to being my forte. I’d write, but I’d agonise over it. The only thing that kept […]
Why Do Press Releases Get Rejected?
As a journalist, I might reject your PR piece for lots of reasons. Here are just a few. Avoid as many as you can, and you’re more likely to have positive results. 1) It’s irrelevant to what I do or what I’m working on. If I cover health topics exclusively, don’t send me a release […]

How do you get attention, and keep that attention? Then how do you get across a cheeky message, while at the same time revealing your personality? Air New Zealand seems to do it well, even though you may not be paying attention to onboard safety instructions for the squillionth time. What do you think? What […]
