And with it, it demonstrates one of the underlying weaknesses of relying on a group stream of consciousness — it’s not always the most accurate thing in the world. The rumors were, thankfully, limited to things that didn’t cause any real harm or damage. Except to the companies who were the subject of the rumors. Their reputations were inadvertently tarnished by being included in the rumors, which they then had to publicly deny. The denial makes them seem a little heartless, so they followup with a public declaration of what they are doing to support the Haitians in their time of need (usually generous monetary donation...

All is not lost as long as the my plane doesn’t do a crash landing. So far it’s a bit bumpy, and how knows maybe I’ll be able to use a barf bag for the first time. I knew I should have brought my Marinol with me (anti-nausea pills). For some reason I looked at my e-ticket and read my arrival time in Vancouver and thought I was my departure time. When I printed my boarding pass just before the taxi came, I realized that I wasn’t going to make it to the gate in 15 mines. My iPhone wasn’t working and I couldn’t call anyone, even though it was working  when I called the taxi company an hour earlier. A quick settings reset and I was able to dia... acidrefluxweb.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2852011 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 16:55:09 +0100 2852011 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1231995&cid=t_337646_109_f&fid=35677&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2F%7Er%2FBrainBasedBusiness%2F%7E3%2F234945875%2Fentrepreneurial_opportunities.html It’s good to be home again. Dr. Robyn McMaster and I just flew in from another electric session with innovative leaders who use hidden brainpower to create solutions that work … against a background of challenges. The trip home was far from innovative or brainy though. It seemed NorthWest hired a craft from matchbox toys … so we were told no carry on bags would be allowed. A small purse squeaked in … but computer bags were fed to this airplane’s belly during flight. Attendants appeared unmoved by the man next to us … who told how his carry on bag was stolen from their fodder a week earlier. Our flight – left late … as paying passengers molded human shapes into sardine sizes to fit shrunken seats.  A plastic cup of water came ju...

Yikes! Have you been impacted too?Here at the MITA International Brain Based Center … we’ve scheduled far fewer international trips for 2008 … and have worked to rev up business closer to home.  As it turned out, that shift may be a good move for the brain business ... in the long run. Still, each time I drag bags through the mazes at New York airports … I want to ask 5 key questions to airline and airport leaders ... who consistently delay my flights: 1. Have you considered how improved client satisfaction could raise your profits?2. Do you place yourself in the shoes of passengers whose business depends on timely flights?3. What skilled back-up plans do you follow wh...

At least 33 states were “net exporters” of young people, or lost more of that demographic than they gained.”Here are the top ten brain drain states for young talent fleeing their area….1. North Dakota2. Iowa3. South Dakota4. West Virginia5. Montana6. Rhode Island7. Vermont8. Indiana9. Mississippi10. NebraskaCheck out the full report. Is your state there? If not, what does your area do to attract and keep talent among young adults?

Yesterday my Delta airline seat – slated for Ireland – sat empty on Rochester's tarmac  … because of thunderstorms at JFK. The storm offered Delta unique opportunities to show us its work ethic, or at least show some semblance of care to stranded customers. A brain based approach to this disaster could have boosted Delta’s slumping sales and shone new lights on a special operation that flyers would support with future sales. Frankly I watched the opposite … and it reduced my trust – while Delta manned a desk -  as if customer service for lines that faced them - had not yet been invented. It...
