Its contracting muscles are further cushioned by the well-lubricated glistening smooth pericardial sac. One wouldn’t think that the heart could sense the time of year. The heart’s rhythm should remain independent of the holiday season. But then there is December in the EP lab. They are as busy as the malls. Is it the depressing weather? Or the short days? Or a post-Thanksgiving hangover? It’s hard to say, but every year for as many as I can remember, the EP lab rocks in November and December. And with the advent of deductible health plans, this holiday phenomenon has only intensified. The I-90 of the heart, the AV node, seems to give out more in the holidays. I’ll never forget the Saturday in Decembe...

My name is Summer. How can I help you?” Wait, it’s after 5 pm. And this is the internet, not a phone. And I’m at my kitchen table, not in my drab fabric-walled cubicle. And I’m not wearing a headset. Let me switch hats for a moment and return to being a writer for the next few minutes. Tomorrow, I celebrate my last day of working in a customer service call center. (Despite the rumors, it’s not an easy gig.) Over the past few years, I’ve been called some less-than-savory names through the phone lines. A few customers have threatened me. Even more have called me a liar, played psychological games with me, and screamed words that their grandmothers would be ashamed to hear. Lesson learned: contacting a customer...

Pam and I met a few years back when I was starting my blog, and we’ve exchanged books and become friends. Her book was released last year, and for no good reason, I didn’t interview her then. This year, her book is out in paperback, and I LOVE the book, so I wanted to help her promote the book and share some insights with you. NOTE: Pam and I both agree, jumping out of the corporate America window is NOT for everybody. Even if that isn’t your thing, you can still learn a lot from our conversation about finding a mentor and more. Escape from Cubicle Nation Makes It Great from Phil Gerbyshak on Vimeo. It’s about 32 minutes long, and we did it on 2 takes. The first...

So why do we kill brainpower at work instead … when to do so raises our breakneck speed toward lost ground in the global marketplace?The problem is that we’ve been frontrunners far too long.  Used to a place in the winning circle ... we’re stuck in mental ruts. It doesn't need to be that way. Before you nod and move on … read on to see how human brains can and do work innately against frontrunner nations or organizations. These results suggest an urgent call for new directions: 1. In spite of the fact that our universi...
