Valentines Day – A Good Time To Reflect

Reblogged from The Business Edge Blog:

As a business coach I know how hard my clients work. Many start working early in the day, work hard all day, stay late or take work home with them, and finally crash at the end of a late night. When we talk about what they are working so hard for, they often tell me to provide for their families. When we talk about their dream for retirement it includes spending more time with family. Stop – do they have to wait that long? Of course we hope that our families will be there when we have all the time …

Reblogged from The Business Edge Blog:

As a business coach my clients are telling me they feel out of balance, tired, stressed. Some say they lack energy. I often use the following tool to help them understand why they feel the way they do and thought that it may be helpful for others as well. We all have 100% of our life energy. Even though sometimes we feel we have much less than we had at another point in time, we always have 100% available to us. The question is how much of our total life energy are we giving to each of the six …

In a recent article in the Wall Street Journal Mills and Ottino make an analogy to drivers of growth in the last century. The advent of the automobile, telephone, and electricity paved the way for a century of amazing progress. In this century they predict wireless connectivity, smart manufacturing and material developments catalyzing a new raft of technological developments in this century. Under smart manufacturing they highlight the advances in 3d printing. 3d printing, traditionally in the realm of inorganic materials has spilled over to the organic world. Scaffolds printed from organic material have been used in regenerative medicine to replicate postage stamp sized swatches into replacement organs. You can read about some of these advances at Tom’s blog. Also, 3d printing has made its way to an appliance level device.
