Hear My Talk on Marketing Mob

I participated in a podcast with Marketing Mob on February 13th.  Watch the recording here.

Five Questions

It was fun to be interviewed for the Honeywell Home and Building Technologies internal blog (sorry, no external access).  I got asked about the company, my vision for the group, and about myself.  Got a chance to brag on my family and share about some things we are doing to get to know our new city: Atlanta, Georgia. 

Lost and Found

Shel Silverstein was a childhood favorite of our family and some of his poems have taken on deeper meaning as I have gotten older.  In light of the changes underway in my life and career, one of his poems has inspired one of my own - a parallel poem about losing and finding.

Losing Pieces by Shel Silverstein

  Talked my head off.

  Walked my tail off.

  Cried my eyes out.

  Walked my feet off.

  Sang my heart out.

  So you see,

  There's really not much left of me.
 

Finding Me by Jennifer Davis

  Found community in conversation.

  Marshalled courage in work.

  Discovered gratitude in tears.

  Uncovered strength in the journey.

  Expressed joy in the song.

  So you see,

  In losing pieces, I may find me.
