Call NBC

How did this make you feel?

If you've been watching the Olympics on NBC, you must have seen at least two occasions of this.

An American athlete lost a competition. And soon after, an NBC announcer shoved a microphone in the person's face with the question, "How are you feeling right now?"

This is heartless. Cruel. Mean.

Sunday night, one of the athletes was crying. Did she need to be asked how she felt on National TV?

So what could the announcers do?

Perhaps they could say, "On behalf of the American public, we're proud of you. You showed the effort of a champion. It's an inspiration to us all. Thank you."

I think people need space and compassion after a tragedy.

If you agree, let NBC know.

Here's the comment page on their web site.

I just sent them a comment.

If enough people complain about this, maybe they'll change.

Much success,

Fiberactive Organics

Good People Doing Good Things

Several years ago Julie Mullin became frustrated with the lack of organic sewing products on the market.

So she decided to manufacture her own.

Since then Fiberactive Organics has sold organic cotton thread, embroidery floss, hand-dyed ribbon, and braided tape.

Fiberactive Organics is also a working studio where products are made from organic cotton and post-industrial scrap fabric. This includes attractive dresses, wedding gowns, and other beautiful products. Please visit their web site to see them.

And Fiberactive Organics provides sewing services to other green companies.

The sewing staff are Montagnard refugee women who work in Raleigh, NC.  They grew up in the jungles of Vietnam and speak a language specific to their village. At Fiberactive Organics they receive ESL classes, basic living and health instruction, medical assistance, and a host of other services as they need them.  

Julie says, “We are a small community of travelers, making our own little world of difference.”

If you're shopping for organic cotton products, I encourage you to call Fiberactive Organics.

Much success,

Best Way to Earn PDUs

Here is the best, easiest way to earn PDUs that maintain your PMP or PgMP certification.

How?

Sign up for The PDU Podcast

Then you can earn PDU's while you commute! Or work out. Or whatever.

I can recommend this because I've known Cornelius for a long time.

First, he is an outstanding project manager (i.e., he really knows project management).

And second, his material is absolutley the very best. It works.

I've participated in two of his programs. So I've seen how he works, how he builds value and perfection into every program.

All you have to do is download the The PDU Podcast webinars to your portable player, listen while you drive, and then claim your PDUs!

What could be easier?

So start now. Put your recertification on autopilot with The PDU Podcast. Click here to begin.

Much success,
