Driven
Posted By : Fred Klein

If you know me at all you know I'm driven.  You know, like in the dictionary definition: A person relentlessly compelled by the need to accomplish a goal; very hard working and ambitious. Equally characteristic, lately, I have matured into one who is driven by a coterie of "Wheelmen" and "Wheelwomen".  So thank you Mitch, Norm, David, Brad, Jay, Be

Limits

Take a deep breath and hold it 'til it hurts, race the clock, stay up late/get up early, steal a night on the town, watch the ball game into extra innings, turn the volume up to the max, read another chapter, have another drink, run an extra mile, bank another dollar, break a rule, spend without thrift, do another good deed, reach for another goal,

Rights and Wrongs
Posted By : Fred Klein

Recently I remarked upon our precious freedoms and our unique Constitutional Bill of Rights. A friend responded by declaring that possibly our greatest Right is not set forth therein.   In response to my inquiry as to what was missing he responded, "The Right to be Wrong".Brilliant!We are so often "wrong again" :)Someone else chimed in that "There

Women's Work
Posted By : Fred Klein

Women's Work is a term I heard in my youth. The use of the term today is pretty much taboo. When I was growing up my mom was charged with cooking, cleaning, child rearing and such.   My dad's responsibility was to earn a living and put food on the table.   Sounds simple, but in fact it was more complicated. Today it is far more complicated as gende

Kirsten Wins!
Posted By : Fred Klein

I am updating a recent blog about an amazing woman who yesterday achieved a singular triumph! I first learned of the single sailor, around the World Golden Globe (sail boat) Race when my Key West friend Guy deBoer entered it.   The race started last year on the west coast of France on September 4th and we were there in beautiful Les Sables to see G

Elevator Speech
Posted By : Fred Klein

In my (www.gothamnetworking.com) networking world we ask: Who you are, what you do and how can we help you? It's amazing how fruitful those answers can be, because we believe that "It's better to give than receive, but what goes around comes around." The object of the exercise is multi faceted.  A basic objective is, in the words of my salesman

Is it Still a Man's World?
Posted By : Fred Klein

Last week I wrote about Kirsten Neuschafer (pictured), an extraordinary woman striving to win an around the World single sailor sail boat race against an all male field. I'm happy to announce that at this writing she is still (barely) in the lead.   After reading the blog, the subject question was posed by one of my readers and it got me thinking.

Time Marches On
Posted By : Fred Klein

Yesterday I celebrated my pictured Birthday   Satchel Paige once said "How old would you be if you didn't know how old you was?" How profound! Feel free to ask yourself :) I would be 40, when I qualified for the Boston Marathon.   I don't dwell on the ever mounting number as I know I'm in the process of becoming a Tribal Elder and that I've notched

Boys Night Out
Posted By : Fred Klein

On Wednesday night I facilitated a "Boys Night Out".   Of course, we are no longer Boys, but we like to think of ourselves as such and maybe we act it at times.   In any case, we were an eclectic group of 6 guys (pictured). 4 from New York, one from New Orleans and one from Kentucky and, not coincidentally, 4 Liberals and 2 conservatives.   There w
