Driving etiquette meets business actions
On the way to work this morning, I actually had to use my horn. Not a common occurrence for me. One minute, I’m riding the middle lane, keeping a respectable distance from the car in front of me (I have a thing about that). Next thing I know, a woman in a Lexus came merging over into my lane (she did signal) but she was moving into the lane right where my car was located. She almost sideswiped me. I had to lay on the brakes (good thing no one was tailgating me) so I also felt compelled to lay on the horn. She jerked around in surprise but kept on coming.

A digital break
Before the holidays, I decided I need to unclutter my brain. I have this thing about balance – I love challenge and energy at work and peace and partnership at home. I think on my Myers-Briggs results over the years and that makes sense to me – I am an ENTP but my E is borderline I. The results are so close, that some tests over the years call E, some I. Most people who meet me would think I am definitely an E but to have that level of energy, I need to recharge. I’m fortunate that my husband is my best friend and he totally understands me - we match in that lovely and indefinable way that has brought us 15 wonderful years and many more to come.

Side Note: Stuff going through my head
I’m starting a new element on my blog that I think I am going to call Side Note. Here’s where I am at with this – I love what I do and as a key part of that, I really like engaging with others in the field (picking your brain is lots of fun for me) and the chance to share my learnings and mistakes along the journey of customer experience is part of the that fun. But (you knew that was coming, right?) there is a person in The Corporate Woman and I think there’s stuff I’d like to share on that front on occasion as we go. You let me know if it gets too tangled or your not interested. I can always split the path.

A delay and an apology…
Well, I confess that I have gone awry in my writing as of late. My apologies for that. My confessions of ineptitude are mere excuses (life got in the way, shoulder injury, poor sleep, etc…) and I shall do my best to do better
This week, I will kick off my thoughts on the core of a successful customer experience program and I look forward to hearing from you as we go. Onwards to Part 1 of the discussion!

Book Review – Switch
I like to read (a lot) and the mix of books tends to vary, depending on whatever attracts me at the time. I keep a mix going, usually have at least two progressing (some on the Kindle, some from the library).

The Value of Patience
I’m not altogether certain I was patient much as a child, perhaps I was but just don’t recall but I suspect that I wasn’t. Patience as an adult hasn’t always been a strong point either but I am finally getting better at it. Last year, I declared that I was going to embark on the journey of being healthier. I finally had the surgery on my deviated septum, so I could breathe better. From there, I started modifying my eating habits. Already good, I made them better. No fast food, no junk food, no soda, no prepared food (that’s right – no cans, no boxes, nothing previously frozen). That was both harder and easier than I thought it would be. My husband is a marvelous cook and he has chosen to make the journey with me, so that has helped a lot!

Rhythm of Business
I’ve been thinking a lot about timing lately – so much of success can hang on that. But timing, the right timing, doesn’t have to be left up to luck. You can plan for it. We’ve been talking about developing a clear understanding of the rhythm the business uses to make decisions. The better that rhythm is understood and mapped out, the better functions like mine (customer insights) can adapt to it and deliver what analysis is needed to help support and drive business decisions.

Happy in your job or making the right hiring decision
I am fortunate to be doing what I love and really enjoying the people and the culture of my company. Like most of you, I have had jobs where that was not the case. In fact, I’m willing to bet that some of you reading this are in that type of job right now. How do we go from being excited about a new job to wondering how we can get out?
When predictability is good or “How to Train your Dragon”
My husband and I took our seven year old daughter to see the new 3D movie “How to Train Your Dragon” this weekend. http://www.howtotrainyourdragon.com/ We thoroughly enjoyed it – funny, sweet, well designed and yes, predictable. I found it interesting, hearing some of the negative comments from the other movie goers regarding that very predictability.

Adding to the team
A dear old friend of mine wrote to me today and reminded me that distance from friends and family means they keep up with me via things like my blog, Facebook and Twitter. So when I have times like I have had lately, when my small team is short staffed, there is never enough time to write. Which also means there is a backlog of ideas that I would like to share and get your thoughts on but somehow never seem to actually touch keys to keyboard. Know what I mean?
