St. Pete's Pearls

Are you looking for ways to help your community and struggling to communicate your ideas to the public?  Here I talk about a 5-Week Public Speaking Workshop starting the first week of September.  Email [email protected] or visit nextstepsustainability.org for more information.  

It's been too long, glad to be back.  No reading today.  I was playing on the mic just getting warmed up and a poem stuck me and I went with it.  Hope you enjoy.  

Intro to the 5 S tool and 8 steps to policy analysis followed with an overview of Smart Growth as presented on Smart Growth America's website.

We sit down with the Walter White of flour and oats here in Ogden Chris Zenger of Great Harvest Bread Company to see how he's cooking up these ingredients and getting the community hooked on his latest project, not to mention his products.  Don't worry the first one's free...

Treat each situation in life as an improv scene.  Bring your best to punch up each scene leaving everyone satisfied or at least wanting more.  The secret to such success, John C. Maxwell posits, is in your attitude.  

Sparked by a recent conversation and a book I read when I first started grad school I touch on what sustainability is to some.   

Today I talk about perspectives I gained while deployed in Iraq.  I hope not to see the civil unrest reach that point in America.  My fear with the current administration and media cycles that may prove to be a challenging task.  

Today's reading from John C Maxwell's Daily Reader is on building trust.
