- [She/Her, He/Him, They/Them. . .We/Us](https://jeffvanek.com/she-her-he-him-they-them-we-us/) - I came to realize that using personal pronouns was an invitation to connect, to understand, and to accept. The planet needs us, and we need each other.
- [Servant Leadership For Social And Environmental Justice](https://jeffvanek.com/servant-leadership-for-social-and-environmental-justice/) - Whether we are talking social or environmental justice, we are talking about people issues. Humanity and nature are inseparably intertwined, and servant leadership is the perfect leadership style needed to address the challenges our planet faces. The term servant leader, as used today, was coined by Robert Greenleaf in his 1970 essay The Servant as
- [Leadership Styled For A Planet In Peril](https://jeffvanek.com/leadership-styled-for-a-planet-in-peril/) - As promised in my last post, I will address leadership styles and explain why servant leadership is so well suited in our quest to save the world. In an internet search of “leadership styles” you will frequently see the following listed: coaching, visionary, servant, autocratic, laissez-faire, democratic, pacesetter, transformational, transactional, and bureaucratic. Rather than elaborating
- [Love of Leadership!](https://jeffvanek.com/love-of-leadership/) - February is the month we celebrate Valentine’s Day and President’s Day—love and leadership. We are in love with leadership, more than we are in love with each other. This is unfortunate and something we must address—just not in this post. For now, we will stick with the subject of leadership—specifically leadership theories. Why? Because to
- [Listen, I Need You To Hear Me](https://jeffvanek.com/listen-i-need-you-to-hear-me/) - In my last blog post, I addressed love in the workplace. If you didn’t read that post, you are probably thinking it had to do with romantic relationships at work. It didn’t. Rather, the post addressed how validating people would cure the epidemic of loneliness that is pervasive in our society and at work. In
- [Cure For An Epidemic](https://jeffvanek.com/cure-for-an-epidemic/) - I am coming at this month’s blog post from my position as a human resources professional. No, I don’t play one on TV (even though I record videos for my employees on YouTube); I am one. As you are aware, we are in the middle of a pandemic caused by a virus. We are also,
- [Don’t Social Distance, Just Stay Apart](https://jeffvanek.com/dont-social-distance-just-stay-apart/) - As the COVID-19 virus continues to spread in this worldwide pandemic, good manners, good hygiene, good science, and good sense demand that we keep our distance from each other—our physical distance. We are now living in a world apart from each other—or should be. But we don’t have to be isolated. Isolation and loneliness are
- [Conservation HeRo](https://jeffvanek.com/conservation-hero/) - I am the Director of Human Resources at an AZA accredited zoo, which is for several reasons, one of the best jobs on earth. First, I work at a zoo. Really, if you don’t get that, then just move on. Another reason it’s one of the best jobs, you can be a hero and save the
- [How Do You Look?](https://jeffvanek.com/how-do-you-look/) - In quantum physics there is a theory known as the observer effect. In short, the idea is that by simply observing something, in this case a subatomic particle, you change the thing being observed. From a physics perspective, this might be troubling. How can one be sure one is observing the “real” nature of a phenomenon
- [Different Directions](https://jeffvanek.com/different-directions/) - When you do things differently than everyone else does, that make you an outlier? An oddity? A rebel? What about a problem solver? The answer to these questions depends a great deal on why you are being different. I have been pondering the value of being different. Many of our current environmental problems—a warming climate,
- [Large Amounts](https://jeffvanek.com/large-amounts/) - It's Halloween today, and tonight costume-clad kids will roam neighborhoods attempting to acquire as much candy as they can. They will come to my door and my neighbor's door with their jack-o-lantern shaped plastic buckets or ratty pillowcases and utter those magical words, "Trick or treat." They will quickly leave once the candy has been distributed to hit up the next house for even more treats. For the most part, it is little kids with parents
- [The War Of Art](https://jeffvanek.com/the-war-of-art/) - I just finished re-reading another great little book, The War of Art, by Steven Pressfield. I have read it several times now. This time I read it for a book club. It's a guy's book club. Not that women aren’t allowed or have not been invited. But so far, only guys have shown up. We
- [Mourning Mornings](https://jeffvanek.com/mourning-mornings/) - Are you a morning person? You know who you are if you are one and although I don’t understand you, I can respect you. There is a reason why morning and mourning sound alike, even if they have different meanings—it's because they are actually related to each other. To me, mornings are a struggle. It's
- [A Project Begins And Ends But A Journey Starts](https://jeffvanek.com/a-project-begins-and-ends-but-a-journey-starts/) - If you read my last post, you know I have been writing about attitudes—and shoes. If that doesn't make sense to you, go read the post. I am going to address why I have been thinking about attitudes so much lately. It was a year or so ago, but who is counting? Actually not a
- [Only Seven Habits From Success](https://jeffvanek.com/only-seven-habits-from-success/) - How do you go about choosing a book to live by in the hopes that it will change your life for the better? If you are a person of faith, you may choose a book of scripture. It is never a bad choice in my opinion—except for when personal ambition, pride, and hubris are driving
- [Are You Too Old? ](https://jeffvanek.com/are-you-too-old/) - You may have found yourself thinking, I am just too old for that now. What is your “that?” A dream long abandoned? Who told you that you were too old? Was it something you just assumed? Are societal norms—a common source of paradigms—the right standard for determining what are age-appropriate activities? My son Adam and
- [What Do You Have To Declare?](https://jeffvanek.com/what-do-you-have-to-declare/) - Here in Utah, we celebrate two significant holidays in July. Both have roots in lofty declarations made by men with big dreams. The first holiday, Independence Day, is of course celebrated by the entire country. The second holiday is Pioneer Day, a regional celebration. As we all know, in July of 1776, a bunch of
- [How You Doin, Y’all?](https://jeffvanek.com/how-you-doin-yall/) - “How you doin?” I picked up this little phrase on my most recent trip to New York City. Not that I hadn't heard it before, but it was on this last trip there that I decided to make it a part of my occasional vocabulary—much like “y'all” became a part of my vocabulary after living
- [New Shoes & Attitudes](https://jeffvanek.com/newshoesandattitudes/) - I have found that shoes and attitudes have a lot in common. I like shoes. It comes naturally. My father was a shoe repairman, as was his father, and his grandfather. Shoes are a family business. I grew up going to my father's shoe shop and playing with equipment that would send shivers down a
- [Sold On An Attitude](https://jeffvanek.com/sold-on-an-attitude/) - The late and great Zig Zigler was known as one of the greatest sales and motivational speakers of our time. I recently finished reading one of his books, The Secrets of Closing the Sale: Included Bonus: Selling with Emotional Logic, written by both Zig and his son Tom. Actually, I listened to it, mostly on
- [Total Eclipse? Not In My Neighborhood.](https://jeffvanek.com/total-eclipse-not-in-my-neighborhood/) - I watched the solar eclipse yesterday. Although it was a total eclipse for a swath of the continental US, from my location in Salt Lake City, it was a 90.3% eclipse. Those who traveled north into Idaho had the opportunity to experience the whole enchilada. The Totality. I work at a place full of science
- [Success And Cookies](https://jeffvanek.com/success-cookies/) - When it comes to success, it seems like I am always looking for some secret formula to follow, some prescribed set of steps that will guarantee my outcome. When it comes down to it, I just want someone to tell me what I need to do that will make me successful. If I do XYZ,
- [Sweet Success](https://jeffvanek.com/sweet-success/) - My muse likes sugar. I like sugar also, which makes for a great partnership. Often when I sit down to tackle a particularly ambitious piece of writing, something that is going to keep me at my laptop for a couple of hours, it helps to dose up on sugar first. Sugar appeases the muse, jump starts my mind and gives me that boost
- [As Luck Would Have It](https://jeffvanek.com/as-luck-would-have-it/) - I have been thinking about how much control I have in my search for success opposed to what I don't have control over. For the most part, much to my chagrin, there is a great deal I can do. I say much to my chagrin because it means I have a degree of responsibility for
- [Go Pro](https://jeffvanek.com/go-pro/) - What do writers do when they don't have an idea to write about? What do runners do when they just don't feel like running? What about the salesperson who doesn't want to prospect? I guess that depends on a few things—like commitment and determination. Maybe vision as well. As one of my favorite writers, Steven Pressfield,
- [Bridges & Walls](https://jeffvanek.com/bridges-walls/) - Relationships are important to success. According to studies, healthy relationships are also a HUGE factor in not just quality of life, but even in length of life. As a human being, our need to be connected to other people is bigger, and I mean bigger than the wall that Trump wants to build on our country's
- [Mind The Gap](https://jeffvanek.com/mind-the-gap/) - How often have you witnessed someone do something absolutely stupid and asked yourself, "What were they thinking?" Or maybe you concluded that they just weren't thinking at all. The reality is that we are always thinking—even when it might be hard to believe otherwise. Problems can arise when we cross the chasm that exists between our thoughts and our actions. We don't always make that crossing so
- [He Who Hesitates](https://jeffvanek.com/he-who-hesitates/) - Last week I wrote about the wisdom in minding the gap that exists between a thought and action. The focus was on the kind of thoughts that would lead you to questionable actions, things that if done wouldn't be considered to be in your or another person's best interests—lashing out verbally in anger to a loved one instead of taking a moment to rethink what
- [Now Listening To Station WII-FM](https://jeffvanek.com/now-listening-to-station-wii-fm/) - I was contemplating myself the other day, my favorite subject, I am sorry to say. Go ahead and admit it, you do the same—contemplate yourself. You are just as infatuated and preoccupied with your own life as I am with mine—we all are. We are, after all, such interesting people. We all listen to station
- [Acting On It](https://jeffvanek.com/acting-on-it/) - Acting classes—should you be taking them? I am. Just so you know, this isn’t something I have done a great deal of—acting or acting classes or film or theater. I am not counting the facades, personas and personalities I may or may not have affected throughout my life. I am also not counting times I
- [Real People, Not Actors](https://jeffvanek.com/real-people-not-actors/) - My acting instructor, Julie-Anne Liechty says, “Acting is being real in pretend situations. Anything else looks like acting.” To paraphrase the Chevrolet commercials, however, most of us are real people, not actors. (Although I have met some pretty real people who are actors and some “real” people who are anything but.) Even if you never
- [Disney Dollars](https://jeffvanek.com/disney-dollars/) - Have you noticed? Disney has a lot of money. They can thank my family and me for some of it. Every time they build a new theme park, roll out a new attraction, make a movie (okay forget Star Wars), or launch a cruise ship, it's impressive. They really know how to do it "right." When it comes to entertainment, they have not
- [Win Friends](https://jeffvanek.com/win-friends/) - I am not a fan of installing toilets, although it's easy enough to do. It's just the thought of what goes into them that kind of grosses me out. You need a good seal on your toilet when you set it—believe me, I know firsthand what happens when you don't. I picked up the wax ring needed to create the seal at the local
- [HR Rocks!](https://jeffvanek.com/hr-rocks/) - HR Rocks. So proclaims the button I picked up at the annual convention of the Society for Human Resource Management. The button was being passed out by the O.C. Tanner Company and attached to a piece of cardboard that had the following printed on it: People create People invent People discover People dream People build
- [As Much As It Pains Me . . .](https://jeffvanek.com/pains-me/) - Where I work, we feed our employees lunch every Friday. If we don’t bring something in, we will often barbecue hamburgers, hotdogs, and bratwursts for everyone. Frequently, we will provide ice cream treats as well. The other day an issue came up that involved some unknown person or persons, hiding ice cream bars in the ice
- [Meeting the Mouse at the Crossroads](https://jeffvanek.com/crossroads/) - For the last ten years I have lived at the Crossroads of the West—Salt Lake City. The other day I found myself at the Crossroads of the Word—Disney Hollywood Studios in Florida. As I looked up at Mickey Mouse, standing on a globe atop a giant tower proclaiming that you are at the Crossroads of
- [University of Oregon Mascot Revealed To Be A Sleestak](https://jeffvanek.com/university-oregon-mascot-revealed-sleestak/) - Ever have one of those days that start out pretty ordinary, only to have your world turned upside down by something you ran across in a magazine? Kind of like that J. Geils Band song Centerfold, where some poor guy finds out his high school sweetheart happens to be a centerfold model for a “girly”
- [Photo Op](https://jeffvanek.com/value-photo-op/) - For me, meeting an accomplished writer is like meeting a celebrity. I have this thing for writing and therefore admire those who do it well or are accomplished in the craft. In the last month I have had a couple of opportunities to meet some great writers—Don Yeager and Lee Benson. It is always fun
- [The Essential Extra](https://jeffvanek.com/essential-extra/) - I was a factory worker in Russia on November 22, 1963, the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Actually, I wasn’t even born yet. But the other day I had an opportunity to be an extra in the television show Granite Flats. The scene in the episode being filmed was taking place on that
- [Call Me a Flake](https://jeffvanek.com/call-flake/) - I like the idea of being a professional. I like it more than being a flake, which according to my way of thinking was participation in fields that involved anything smacking of right brain use—artist, actor, writer, dancer, painter, illustrator, etc. Well, call me a flake now because in February I took acting classes. I had
- [Toilet Paper As Writing Paper](https://jeffvanek.com/boldness/) - I have asked myself many times when it comes to my dreams, am I really willing to do what it will take to get there? You have probably read or heard the following quote by W. H. Murray. It’s quite inspirational and a bit romantic. (It also misquotes Goethe but hey, it is still a
- [I Blame You Robert Kirby](https://jeffvanek.com/blame-robert-kirby/) - I did something that I am not sure I should have done. I asked how I could help out at my local chapter of the League of Utah Writers. I think I am the President now, or something very close to that. There was no vote taken. In about five seconds, I was the new
- [Reading Glasses. Oh, Crap.](https://jeffvanek.com/reading-glasses-oh-crap/) - It has come to this. Reading glasses. I know that for many of you reading this, glasses have been a part of your life for years, if not from childhood. This has not been my experience. Only in recent years have I started to notice it is harder to focus on small things, like the
- [False Summits](https://jeffvanek.com/false-summits/) - I asked a friend who climbs mountains if there was a term for a place on a mountain that looks like the peak of the mountain but isn't. A place that once you reach, you realize the real summit still is up and ahead of you. He said, "Oh yea, it’s called a false summit.
- [If It Works On TV, It Will Work On Your Audience](https://jeffvanek.com/platform-ponderings-if-it-works-on-tv-it-will-work-on-your-audience/) - At the April meeting of the National Speakers Association Mountain West Chapter (NSA-MW), our guest speaker Bill Stainton , encouraged us to drive people up a tree and throw rocks at them. He assured us that people in trouble make for great stories, especially when it is someone else. Bill is an expert in audience
- [Get Paid To Speak, Because Your Message Is Worth It](https://jeffvanek.com/platform-ponderings-get-paid-to-speak-because-your-message-is-worth-it/) - March is the month we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Besides wearing green, there are leprechauns. Leprechauns as we all know, have a pot of gold. It’s a trait they share with successful speakers. You could say that this month’s meeting of the National Speakers Association Mountain West Chapter (NSA-MW), Get Paid to Speak, Because Your
- [Lights, Camera, Action](https://jeffvanek.com/platform-ponderings-lights-camera-action/) - In honor of February, the month we celebrate love, this month’s meeting of the National Speakers Association Mountain West Chapter (NSA-MW) the program was all about how to make love to the camera so your clients will love you in return (and want to hire you). Actually, the program was How to Use Video to
- [Running Un-Routine – How to Retread an Old Running Route](https://jeffvanek.com/running-un-routine-how-to-retread-an-old-running-route/) - Keeping it fresh How do you keep your running routine and routes from becoming just that, routine and boring? I took up running four years ago and often run the same route over and over. Others I know have waxed and waned in their commitment to running as their chosen exercise. Although injury and other
- [The Emotions of Business](https://jeffvanek.com/the-emotions-of-business/) - I had always figured that business was all about numbers and data. Becoming an entrepreneur was proving to be more of an emotional journey than I had ever imagined. I was by schooling and profession a logical, reasoning, “Let’s just deal with facts,” kind of person. Yet the further I pursued my entrepreneurial dream, the
- [Genius Training](https://jeffvanek.com/platform-ponderings-genius-training/) - I was a little apprehensive about this New Year. After all, it is 2013, as in the 13th year of this century. If buildings don’t number a 13th floor because of superstition, why are we having a 13th year? All my fears about 2013 however, were put to rest at our monthly meeting of the
- [The Gift Is You.](https://jeffvanek.com/platform-ponderings-the-gift-is-you/) - Dancing elves in green and red hats, a catered holiday dinner that delighted the taste buds and filled one’s stomach, company that filled one’s soul, gift baskets full of goodies that rivaled the swag of an Academy Awards gift basket, a show of music and comedy, and a sing along to Silent Night – just
- [Become A Master Story Teller!](https://jeffvanek.com/good-things-to-come/) - “Now Johnny, don’t be telling stories.” Such is the rebuke of mothers the world over to little tykes who are prone to embellishments. Yet at this month’s National Speakers Association (NSA) Mountain West Chapter meeting, such admonitions were thrown to the wind with wild abandonment. November’s meeting was all about telling stories. It was about why we
- [Get Booked, Make Money . . . And Make A Difference.](https://jeffvanek.com/platform-ponderings-get-booked-make-money-and-make-a-difference/) - It sounds like the beginning of a joke. What do a quadriplegic, a paraplegic, a psychologist, an attorney and a magician who keeps bees have in common? The answer: Everyone one of them has built a successful speaking career and was at the October National Speakers Association (NSA) Mountain West Chapter meeting to share their
- [Pro Speaker Biz Boot Camp](https://jeffvanek.com/platform-ponderings-dr-jeff-magees-pro-speaker-biz-boot-camp/) - Welcome to the National Speakers Association (NSA) Mountain West Chapter. We are confident you will find some great information here, even dangerous information. Nothing can be so dangerous than an idea that changes how and what you do in your business or life. Our goal is to provide you with the resources, knowledge, encouragement and support you
