Gen Y Talks The Talk But They Don’t Walk The Walk

24. May 2009

Comments

What’s the deal with Gen Y?   The rundown: we grew up with the internet.  We grew up with having everything literally at the tips of our fingertips.  So in that sense, we’re a bit greedy, a bit selfish, a bit entitled, and a bit impatient.  Sound familiar?  We sound like babies.

Taking over the world

Losers Play By The Rules. Winners Sing Karaoke.

11. May 2009

Comments

It was a quick weekend at SOBCon in Chicago filled with learning, eating, sharing, networking, laughing, and of course karaoke.  Yes, I know, not a parallel verb but I don’t think karaoking is acceptable.)   Funny enough, the main lesson that I took away from this phenomenal weekend I learned at a dive karaoke bar in [...]
