Welcome to my podcast series: Fireside Chats about Management and Leadership!

I'm happy as a clam to be having fun in this world of podcasting. How do we know clams are happy, anyway? I digress.

These podcasts feature informal conversations with respected business thinkers and bloggers - people who I like and admire and I think you will too. Here is an incomplete list of the folks I am chatting with for this first series:

Dick Richards - Come Gather Round
Johnnie Moore - Johnnie Moore's Weblog
David Lorenzo - Career Intensity
Phil Gerbyshak - Make it Great
Don Blohowiak - Leadership. Now.
Lori Richardson - Sales Coach
Bren Connelly - Slacker Manager
Chris Haddad - Hard Working Words
Rosa Say - Talking Story with Say Leadership
Adrian Savage - Slow Leadership and The Coyote Within
Dwayne Melancon - Genuine Curiosity
David Anderson - Agile Management Weblog
Bert Webb - Open Loops

We talk about a variety of topics and the conversations are woven together with the theme of helping people focus and succeed (in honor of the release of my latest book and passion, Focus Like a Laser Beam). All conversations are natural (flubs and all), unscripted, and unrehearsed.

I hope you enjoy these podcasts and I would welcome your feedback!

Here is the Podcast Feed for the entire Fireside Chat podcast series: 

You can also find this series on iTunes (and several other podcast sites), just search under my last name.

For the next several weeks, I will release a podcast every MONDAY and THURSDAY.

Starting TODAY.

Today's podcast is with Dick Richards, author of Is Your Genius at Work? We chat about how focus relates to discovering your genius and how our lives can be enriched by spending our time on what matters most. We interrelate the concepts of doing one great thing a day with finding your genius. It's a lively and fun discussion.

I just listened to your webcast about chunking. Thank you for the good reminder. I was just feeling stressed at my job and realize that I need to train people to make appointments with me rather than just interupting me while I'm working.

Another book which talks about chunking is Fiore's book The Now Habit. The best anti-procrastination book I've read. (The last one I needed to read.)

April, thanks for the comment and thanks for sharing The Now Habit. That is a great book.

Lisa, now that I've read your book (see the review I just posted to my blog), I really look forward to the podcasts! Thanks, as always, for sharing your valuable insights. All the best.

[Lisa Haneberg]

Starbucker - Wow, yes, I love that what you channeled and looked for was the love I have for the topic and work. Thanks so much for your kind words. Your review is interesting and thoughtful.

I am lucky becuse my publisher allowed me to have fun with this book, they allowed me to give it personality. That's what I love most.

[Starbucker]

Thanks Lisa - I think you hit on the right word, "personality". That was evident from the get go, and it brings the text to life. I hope you keep having that kind of luck with your future books! Thanks too for your kind words about the review.
