At the beginning of this year, I took on the challenge of attempting to journal frequently. Don’t think of this as a new year resolution (as I am not a fan of those) but rather one of the goals I’d like to accomplish this year. My realistic goal was not to journal every day, as […]
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the concept of wisdom. This all started as I began to reflect on some personal advice I had given a colleague a few weeks ago; the advice was well-received and I’m sure it was helpful, but it made me wonder if the advice I gave was wise? Meaning, […]
{Originally published on MyTotalRetail.com} It’s no secret that online shopping has grown in the last few years, putting downward pressure on revenues at brick-and-mortar store locations. To add context to the size of this shift, e-commerce sales have grown by $129 billion between 2013 through 2016, growing from 5.8 percent to 8.5 percent of total retail sales […]
Since finishing my dissertation in November 2018, I’ve had a little more time on my hands to read. It’s almost like I’ve been reading in an attempt to fill a void that has been left in me since I’m not continually researching and writing. I thoroughly enjoyed the process of writing and publishing my dissertation […]
Influencing People is Hard Work I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how to have forward momentum in business without destroying everyone and everything in your path. I’ve always been known as “the nice guy” around the office; I don’t take that as a criticism but rather as a complement. I’d much rather be known […]
If you’re thinking to yourself, “it’s been a while since Jeff has posted about his progress towards his doctorate degree”, you’d be right; it has been a while. Typically, when I go silent, it’s because I am researching and writing with great progress on my dissertation. That could not be farther from the truth in […]
Education wise, things have been slow. I have been sitting on a completed version of section #2 of my dissertation for about two months. For a quick refresher of my doctoral process, you can revisit my previous post here. This is one of my biggest frustrations with academia: things move slow. I’m talking at a […]
I’ve spent a bit more time this past month reading. I tend to read a lot but it is often journals rather than books (that’s a function of being a graduate student). I’ve been really pleased with a few of my recent finds and thought I would share some of those with you all. Below, […]
The day has finally arrived … I have completed and received full academic approval on section #1 of my dissertation. For most of you, you’re reading this and saying, “what does that even mean”. Don’t worry, I’ll explain. Every doctorate degree has different requirements for a dissertation. The degree that I’m pursing, doctorate of business administration […]
It is in our human nature to have frustration. It can be small or large, but regardless the size, frustration will exist. Take the example of an everyday occurrence of driving to work; in my short 25-minute drive each morning, I encounter frustration at multiple levels. It could be that I’m running a few minutes […]
