Does Twitter Give A Shit?

I got a Twitter direct message yesterday from @phillipbroberts. I’ve known Phil for eons and eons in social networking and dog years. Which actually translates to about 18 months if you’re using the more traditional Gregorian calendar Phil has a 45 year old friend who needs a double lung transplant or is probably going to die in the not…

You Suck!

I was on Twitter yesterday minding my own business as much as I am ever likely to do when @norcross tweeted: “If your life sucks, then you suck” My immediate and somewhat flippant un-life coach like response was there must be a disproportionate amount of really sucky people in Haiti at the moment because a lot of peoples lives…

Let’s face…

Coping With Conflict and Criticism

Angry man

“You whiny little prick, who the fuck do you think you are?” Thus started a phone call from a life coaching client about 6 months ago. I listened fascinated by the stream of vitriol that then spewed forth from the guys mouth for the next couple of minutes. It was worth it though because I learned some juicy new…
