Alan Weiss’s Monday Morning Memo® – 7/09/18
“Diversity” seems to be in every other sentence these days. I don’t think we can merely intellectualize diversity, we have to live it, not as some special accommodation or event, but as a way of life. The word traditionally means “exhibiting variety.” That goes beyond skin color, or ethnicity, or physical abilities, or sexual orientation to include thought, and ideas, and talents, and politics.
We’re on our annual sojourn to the Jersey Shore (where real men play kids’ games, seagulls can carry off small dogs, and the beach is sand, not rocks). Taking the kids down the boardwalk, or merely having a cigar on the porch overlooking the ocean, I’m in a sea of diversity (pun intended). We hear, read, and see intolerance all too often, but we don’t so consciously acknowledge the wonderful changes around us. There is a vast assortment of humanity here primarily oriented toward enjoyment.
When I was a kid and (infrequently) was taken to Palisades Amusement Park in Fort Lee, NJ, everyone looked the same. I thought this was the world, the same as my grammar school.
It was a lot better for my kids, and now for our grandchildren. We learn a lot more, and what I especially learn watching people chowing down, playing games, and watching their families is that we’re all much more similar than dissimilar.
When we’re talking about diversity, it’s not a box to check. It is a reality that should be deeply felt and held and valued by all of us. —Ava DuVernay
Million Dollar Consulting® College—The first in two years.
I’ve slimmed it down to three days, take only a dozen people, and deal with all aspects of attraction, conversion, implementation, and expansion. Extensive role plays and exercises. Who knows if I’ll do another in two year—or ever? We’re half full, join us in December in a world-class property. Lodging and most meals are included in the fee.

The Solo Solo
Expressly for those who have no partner at home or a partner who is uninterested in their work. I’ve helped thousands of people with this lack of intimate support, and now I’m doing it “cabaret style,” with food and drink in my suite in New York. Join us in a relaxing atmosphere to find out how best to create a support system. Let’s talk.

ThinkingBIG
You can’t “think outside the box” if you’re still in the box. And any box is too small for any true entrepreneur. Yet you probably don’t realize the dimensions of your current, unconscious confinement. Join me for a BIG day in Miami in January to learn how to instantly think in larger terms, be seen in a larger light, and live large.
