What a great assembly of folks from Univera North America and Univera Korea. The evening is going to be wonderful — just check out the crowd gathering around Bill Lee!

A Birthday Interlude

A Birthday Interlude

You’ve probably seen Univera’s Chris Whalen buzzing busily behind the scenes at the store here at Convention. Well, it just so happens to be his birthday today as well. Happy Birthday, Chris!


It’s Showtime!

It's Showtime!

(keep checking this blog for more updates throughout the day, as I’m adding video as the day rolls out…here are a few clips so far). What an great morning it’s been here at the Convention Center! I can’t even describe the amazing energy this morning from everyone who attended our morning General Session. Our guest [...]


The Day Before!

The Day Before!

Here we are, the day before the big event. Lots happened today. All the preparation moments absolutely flew by, it’s like we’re on a locomotive and can’t slow it down. But it’s all good, starting with a fabulous Diamond leadership meeting earlier today, some exceptionally run workshops this afternoon, followed by a lot of fun [...]


Univera Convention ’09: The Day Before!

Univera Convention '09: The Day Before!

Here we are. Seattle, 2009. Ten Years, One Truth. And it’s all coming together.  Today’s my first of what will be a daily blog all around the events of the day and exciting things that are happening. Most of today’s entry is a VLOG, but some of the highlights included countless hours of preparation, store [...]


Yet Another Way to Live Longer

Yet Another Way to Live Longer

Happy Father’s Day

Happy Father's Day

Though late in the day, I’m still going to get my Father’s Day post in before “COB”, even beating midnight Eastern time. My Dad is a phenomenal individual and I really appreciate him (as well my Mom, but today is the Dad’s day) more than words can adequately express. Which might be a good thing, [...]


Another Life of a Leader

Another Life of a Leader

  For whatever reason, I feel like a I read a lot of tributes–perhaps because there are always at least one or two in most issues of Business Week, Newsweek, The Week, and the WSJ. And it’s a different insight to look at the life of a person whose time has past. Reading this short [...]


Why Seattle???

Why Seattle???

Today I’m reposting a video from a year ago as we prepare for a really exceptional event in Seattle NEXT WEEK!  June 26th and 27th (though the 70′s celebration band/bash starts on Thursday night the 25th, as well as some great workshops earlier that afternoon) we’re going to be celebrating Univera’s 10th year anniversary, learning [...]


Hero Pilot ‘Sully’ Stars at Safety Hearing

Hero Pilot 'Sully' Stars at Safety Hearing

So two blog postings in almost two weeks isn’t very impressive, but it’s a sign of the exciting times behind the fold from a work perspective–which includes an incredible annual Convention that we’re focused on delivering at the end of June. Between preparation for that, a fair amount of road travel, and a few other [...]
