My plane was hours late. I arrived at the hotel tired and cranky. A major head cold (and possibly fever) was brewing and worst of all I hadn’t eaten any dinner, and was hungry. As I approached the hotel coffee shop I saw a woman at the cash register. She was counting money. I…
Steve Jobs taught us much about destiny, design and why connect the dots. (“You can’t connect the dots moving forward, you can only connect them looking backward.”) I remember reading the commencement speech he made in 2005 at Stamford and went back to read again what he said, describing his own life and his…

You know of course, that it’s my favorite topic, especially when paired with the word “Customer”. There’s a reason I called my website “Return on Happiness” and that’s because after…
