Male EQ

 This blog is intended primarily for my fellow males. It was prompted by two events this past week. First is that I was at a restaurant with my son waiting for our to-go order. We were at the bar area and Hunter and I were being goofy as we normally are.

An Experience a Month

On a recent business trip, I reconnected with a dear friend that I had not seen in several years. She told me she had ended her personal relationship and was single again. About a year ago, she joined a group of single women mostly over the age of 50 who met once a month for an experience.

Others’ Goals

This is the time of year many people process goals – both their personal ones (new year’s resolutions) and professional ones at work. Last week, I blogged about working with others to help you accomplish your goals. This week, and with the assumption that you have already crafted your goals, written them, and shared them with someone, I would like you to consider one more personal and professional goal. And that is to pick about five people that are important to you, and ask them what their goals are for 2013.

I posted this last year and it is still relevant this year. This week, ask yourself, which group you belong to with the goals you have already set for 2013. What can you do to move into Group 5 and increase your success rate of achieving those goals?
