Wednesday, September 21, 2005. The State of Writing. I spent this morning editing a college entrance essay and an annual stockholder letter, and I was struck by one thing: The only improvement the CEO who wrote the stockholder letter has made since college is his masterful command of jargon. The weak command of the English language was very evident in both documents, and I am reminded yet again that writing skills are undervalued and underrepresented in modern America. Well, nitpick as you may, but the t...

Saturday, November 03, 2007. The Better People Leader. I hope you will forgive me a little self promotion. The project on which I spent the better part of last year is now at a book store near you! I would be honored if you found an opportunity to get ten copies for your personal library. =) I would be also honored if those of you associated with blogs or publications found an opportunity to mention the book and extol its virtues. Thanks for indulging me this self promo! Posted by Lisa Ann Thomson. You s...

Daily Action: Skinny Jeans
http://dailyaction.blogspot.com/2006/02/i-was-going-through-some-photos-last.html
Friday, February 17, 2006. I was going through some photos last night (o.k., I admit it, I was. Photos last night….) and I came across a shot taken of me about five years ago. I was wearing a pair of jeans They were stylish in their day, with their nice loose, straight-leg fit. I remember they were even a little large and I had debated whether to buy a size smaller. Is there really no way to stay at an active college weight? And that’s what burns me up. If I’m slender at a healthy? Looking back through m...

Friday, January 19, 2007. It used to really bug me when my dad would come home from work, plop down in his chair, and watch sports for the rest of the night. It seemed to my young eyes that the rest of us were running around the house all evening doing dishes, working on homework, getting yelled at by our exhausted mother for leaving our junk everywhere. Where are you from? Where did you go to school? What do you think about the (fill in the blank with any local sports team)? And because of that, they al...

Daily Action: The Spirit of Service
http://dailyaction.blogspot.com/2007/11/why-is-it-that-disasters-bring-out-best.html
Friday, November 02, 2007. The Spirit of Service. Why is it that disasters bring out the best of us? Why don't we give the best of us when there is not disaster? I love that spirit of service, and I'm so glad it still exists and can be called upon in times of need. It makes me proud to be part of our society. Posted by Lisa Ann Thomson.

Daily Action: An Open Letter to Parents in My Child's Classroom about His Peanut Allergy
http://dailyaction.blogspot.com/2015/08/an-open-letter-to-parents-in-my-childs.html
Monday, August 17, 2015. An Open Letter to Parents in My Child's Classroom about His Peanut Allergy. For a family in Sacramento, California, in 2013, it didn’t arrive fast enough. Just weeks before this incident, in St. George, Utah, another young boy, age 11, popped a pretzel in his mouth at a friend’s house. He did not know it was a peanut butter-filled pretzel. He died three days later at one of the finest children’s hospitals in the western United States. Posted by Lisa Ann Thomson.

Daily Action: Clean Desk, Empty Schedule
http://dailyaction.blogspot.com/2005/09/i-remember-one-day-at-former-job-when.html
Monday, September 19, 2005. Clean Desk, Empty Schedule. I remember one day at a former job when I cleaned my desk. You can't imagine the shock waves it sent through the office. Not a passer-by who peaked in didn't exclaim in some fashion or another. But my favorite statement of surprise was my producer's expressionless comment: "It looks like you have nothing to do.". What a Dilbertian thing to say! Posted by Lisa Ann Thomson. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Keep Moving Forward With Me.
