At Wired World Media, we are committed to being open to realizing our full potential. Being aware of what’s possible. Saying things that have never been said.  Creating things that have never been created.  We ask “why not?” not “why?”  We are open-minded, insane, and throw out the wildest possibilities. We think bigger. We yearn to learn and grow.  We have the boldness and courage to take risks,…

Another one of our WAYS OF WOW encourages us to keep it real. We are committed to being authentic in who we are and what we say and do.  We speak from our experience and in the moment.  Keeping it real means speaking what one is thinking and feeling about anything related to work without regard to “how it will sound”.  It means being transparent and revealing our true selves.  Withholding relevant information, keeping secrets, and participating in gossip are clearly…

"Be Countonable" is one of the 10 Ways of Wow at Wired World Media. Even though the word "countonable" is not a real word in the dictionary, being countonable is a very real and powerful practice.

Being countonable means being true to our word. It means doing what we say we will do, when we say will do it. It means keeping our agreements, all of our agreements, whether they are large or small. The world works to the degree…

In my last blog, I talked about Wired World Media being a mission- and vision-driven company. We have 10 WAYS OF WOW that describe the values we use to make decisions. The first of our Ways of Wow is called "Rock the Cheetah's Ass". Here's what we mean.

The work world is filled with people who hate their jobs, have a 9-5 mentality, and do the least they can do to earn a paycheck.  We are committed to changing that…

Wired World Media is a mission- and vision-driven company.  We are a passionate tribe of people and we believe in WOW.  In technology. In business. In life. We are relentless in delivering WOW to the world:

• To our CLIENTS by bringing big, bold, problem-solving ideas as our ordinary course of business; harnessing mind-blowing technologies and making them attainable, affordable, and simple; and with one…

Life works to the degree that we keep our agreements. When something goes wrong or when we are unhappy, the problem can often be traced back to a broken agreement.

When we align our behaviors with the promises we speak, we create the future. We turn intentions into…

The following passage is from a book published in 1951 titled The Scottish Himalayan Expedition by W.H. Murray. It is one of my favorites. If you can get through the "old fashioned" language, this is really just another way to talk about the Wired World Media value of "Rock the Cheetah's Ass."

Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of…

As a counselor and life coach, I have been exposed to various theories of human behavior and numerous therapeutic treatment modalities. Most of what I have learned involves identifying mental health disorders and creating treatment plans to deal with emotional distress, disability, and suffering. In other words, most of psychotherapy is about understanding misery and undoing the disabling conditions of…

Language is powerful. For all practical purposes, until an idea is put into words, it doesn’t exist. In the 1960’s, President Kennedy spoke about putting a man on the moon. This led to massive efforts that resulted in a man walking on the moon. Family vacations or applying to colleges happen only after someone starts talking about them. Language is required to make almost anything happen.

There are a variety of ways to talk about your future. The words you use have a huge…

When it comes to dealing with people, conventional wisdom is crap. An insight that I have gleaned from my experience with interpersonal relationships is that conventional practices can facilitate poor behavior, while an unexpected approach can squelch poor behavior with much less resistance.

In 1956, Dr. William Glasser started the Ventura School for Girls. Ventura served as both an educational institution and a juvenile detention facility.  

One rule was that…

Work is frustrating, traffic is maddening, relationships are impossible, and there’s never enough time. This article suggests a way to stay cool under stress. It’s a challenge. But if you master it, the quality of your life will greatly improve.

Most believe that stress is caused by stressful circumstances. When our finances go down, so do our spirits. When others don’t keep agreements, we’re frustrated or angry. It’s basic cause and effect.…

The quality of your life is determined primarily by the quality of your relationships. When you have loving relationships at home, close relationships with friends, and supportive relationships at work, life is pretty good. If your relationships are filled with anger, misunderstanding, and distrust, distress and anxiety are more common.

You can improve relationships by using the concept of emotional bank accounts, as explained by author Stephen Covey. Pretend that you have an…

Most of our choices fall into three categories. We can:

• Increase our material wealth (what we have).

• Improve our skills and expand  our activities (what we do) .

• Develop our being (who we are).…
