Putting Worry to Work

In light of recent current events, you’ve probably experienced an increase in one emotion more than any other: worry.  Worry over your finances, worry over the crises in Iran and North Korea, worry about your kids, and worry about your future.  All this worry might even have you concerned that there is something wrong with you, but breathe easy, because according to a recent article on The Huffington Post, we’re actually hard-wired to worry.

The Twitter Revolution: Iranians Harness the Power of Small with Social Media

“We have no national press coverage in Iran, everyone should help spread Moussavi’s message. One Person = One Broadcaster. #IranElection,” read one post on Twitter this week.  This powerful message of revolution is just one of thousands being sent out every hour to the masses in rebellion against the Iranian election results.  With no traditional media outlets, Iranians in support of opposition candidate Mir Hussein Moussavi have turned to social media to participate in the newest form of political rebellion, cyber activism.  Behind all of it is a concept very close to our hearts, which we discuss in our book, THE POWER OF SMALL: that each of us has the power within to affect real change in our own lives and in the lives of others.

Enough About Me

If you’ve read THE POWER OF SMALL: Why Little Things Make All the Difference or watched this touching YouTube video sharing the story of Annamarie Ausnes and Sandie Anderson, then you already know what a powerful effect small talk can have on your life.  When we take the time to make a little chit chat with the people standing right next to us, we open ourselves up to a wealth of opportunities, experiences, and possibilities, but mastering the art of small talk can be tricky.  And when practicing your small talk skills, it’s imperative to ask one question: “How do I talk about myself?”

The Best Leaders “Think Small”

Every day it seems we discover another person jumping on the SMALL bandwagon, and we couldn’t be more excited to see that little by little the SMALL revolution is travelling across the nation.  As two entrepreneurs who made it to the top of the advertising industry by sweating the small stuff, we’re big believers in the idea that each of us has the distinct power within to make real changes in our lives.  By starting small, we can truly accomplish anything, even the most daunting of tasks.  And as Stew Friedman writes on his blog, Better Leader, Richer Life, the best leaders in business and beyond are those who think small.
