Round three continues gals (Tenacity) against guys (Solidrock). They were to produce an advertorial (whatever that is) for Norton 360 and Life Lock. As usual group meetings decide the project manager and tasks are handed out to make the winning project. Winning is the goal.
Here’re some lessons learned from celebrities in this show to raise money for their fave charity.
1. Be clear about every area of the project, especially the outcome you want. Summer couldn’t explain clearly to their photographer what they were doing so he knew how to capture what she wanted.
2. Know how to use a computer. Rod Blagojevich couldn’t turn the computer on to do research he was asked to do. I don’t care if he did run a state with 60,000 employees, as he says. This is 2010 and he needs to know computer basics, like how to turn it on and type more than hunt and peck.
3. PowerPoint can have too much copy on it. The guys presentation had so many words explaining what the product did that it couldn’t be read. The type looked like scribble because it was too small. Don’t they know pictures speak a thousand words?
4. It’s OK to quit. Darryl Strawberry volunteered to be fired because he 'sorta' wanted to go home. His body language and degree or lack of participation from the beginning showed he was so over The Celebrity Apprentice.
If you want to learn business, how the dice rolls, and how to deal with egos, tune in. The lessons are too many to count. And talking straight, like Donald Trump does, is the best practice of all. You may not like it and he doesn’t care. It works.
The Coaches Voice
“I could hear my coach clearly. His voice was loud telling me what to do.” Speedy Peterson said. While he was almost suspended 50’ in the air twisting and turning his body with skis attached, he could hear clearly every word his coach was saying.
“I was really calm for some reason,” Peterson said of the moments before the jump that moved him from fifth to second place in the final round of the night of the 2010 Winter Olympics. “I was just out there for myself having fun. It was everything that I could have imagined.”

Isn’t that how the best times happen? You’ve practiced til you could scream and you know you’re ready. You take the chance and go for it. When you show up fully being 100% you, knowing your support team is there for you completely and having fun like you’re ‘in the zone’, you are a winner.
Many times clients tell me that when they do something they've been coached on in our sessions, they hear my voice saying, “Why are you doing that? How does get you to your goal?” Having your coach in your corner, showing up and doing your best can be the road to a gold medal in business and life.

February Resolution Done!
I’d heard about the Sunday afternoon jam @ Cary St. Café. Off I went on 2010 Resolution to do something new for February.
As many as 15 musicians of all ages and sizes gathered with fiddle, guitar, mandolin, banjo and bass to jam Sunday afternoon. They filled the tiny stage. Colorful instrument cases spilled onto the floor.
They played lively tunes easily with finesse. The rhythm set even a person without rhythm tapping feet and moving to the beat.
Friends played cards at the bar after solving the crossword puzzle of the day. A student played on his Mac. Groups of 2 and 3 drank their adult beverages and gabbed – each talking louder than the other to be heard. Universal cheers went up from hockey fans watching the Canadians vs. USA in Olympic ice hockey.
Jessica kept me supplied with favorite snacks - chips with their signature homemade salsa and diet coke.
Like Cheers where everyone knows your name, there was camaraderie for everyone on a chilly Sunday afternoon in February at the Cary St. Café.
