Attitude tune-up

We all need an attitude tune-up sometimes or rather may be quite frequently. I recently came across this book (an audio book) by Keith Harrell that was not only very entertaining but quite motivating. Keith does a very nice job of explaining why we should have a attitude tune-up. I am trying out the positive attitude approach that he preaches and boy.. its tough... it needs practice and I am not giving up. That's positive attitude! Go hear it if you get a chance! It's a great CD to listen to when you are driving!!!

So what's my take from this book ? I now keep saying to myself that I can handle all three effectively and efficiently, my work, my family and ofcourse my school homework!!!

Business Week names Holly Schroth as one of the Favorite professors

In a business week article titled Mind games , professor Holly Schroth was featured as one of the Favorite professors amongst students. Professor Schroth teaches mainly at Berkeley but she also teaches a few classes at SantaClara university. I took her MGMT501 class during the spring of 2006 and it was fun. I agree with a lot of fellow students and would say she is one of the best professors. Her notes are basically one pagers. They are nothing but the subject headlines from her power point presentation. She also uses a custom made textbook that has hand picked chapters from various books that is very boring to read. She has another book that has all the case studies and this one is the meat of the class. The cases in this book are discussed in almost every class. Her tests and grading are fair although I should warn you that you better understand her expectations on how and what you should answer. (You should have known by now since she taught you how to set and understand expectations in the class :-) )

If I ever get a chance to take her Negotiations class, I would definitely do so. Her real area of expertise it seems is *Negotiations* .
