  • Achieving Your Childhood Dreams

    Everyone who knows me will know that I can tend to ramble on about the topic of this post. I am a big proponent of trying to encourage people to stretch and really push to achieve dreams that they have identified that they want to see come to fruition. I could ramble on about this topic and share my...

  • Press On

    I was just listening to one of my favorite podcasts (sorry, not anything remotely technical) and the title for the newest track caught my eye as it is definitely something that I try to encourage everyone to do: The title of the mix is Press on with the following description: Press on to start, press...

  • "The Dream Giver" - Giveaway Take 2

    Having had such an amazing response from the last offer (who would have thought people liked free stuff!!). I thought I would throw this out there again and offer a gift certificate to buy this book to the first 3 people who express interest. In order to manage the avalanche of responses, if you do not...

  • Alt .Net Seattle - Parting Thoughts

    This past Alt.Net experience was amazing as always. I am continually blown away by the level of passion that is exhibited by all attendees. Every single person in attendance comes ready to share and learn. I enjoyed talking with a lot of new faces and spending (too short) time with friends that I have...

  • The Dream Giver

    Having recommended this book to a couple of friends I thought I would take the time to write my 2 cents on what could potentially be a life changing book for many people. While reading this book it continually reminded me of the wonders that God has in store when you step out of your comfort zone to...

  • Dream Big, Take Some Risks, Reap the Rewards

    So many people I talk with ask the question “How do you do it?”. This question always suprises me as I don’t think that anything that I am doing is all that magical. I just try to work hard every day and improve upon my previous days efforts. One of the things that I encourage people...

  • If You Feel Like Hearing Me Blab For A While

    In November I had the wonderful honor and opportunity to record a podcast with Craig Shoemaker of Polymorphic Podcast fame. There was not any one specific topic talked about but the conversation was definitely a lot of fun. He has titled the show “ Develop with Passion like Jean-Paul Boodhoo ”...

  • Happy New Year

    A new year has sprung up and I am fired up to help people “Develop with Passion” for the 2008 year. The blogging front is going to be fairly quiet for me for the first part of the month. With a combination of client deadlines and a private training course I am going to be pretty busy. This...

  • Alternative To ALT-INS For ReSharper Junkies

    Everyone who knows me knows what a big keyboard junkie I am. When I am typing on my MacBook keyboard and not my natural (or datahand). There is not Insert key that I can use when in ReSharper. I know that there are utilities to remap keys to emulate the insert key, but I am not going to get into those...

  • The Expert Mind

    An article , that David Truxall was kind enough to leave a comment about, explains beautifully what I was trying to convey in my Tale of two sons story. If you have a mentor, or someone you look up to as an expert in an area that you currently feel lacking. Maybe this article can give you some insight...

  • You know as much as you know "right now"

    Having had a lot of conversations with people over the last couple of weeks on strategies that have worked in my life to help ensure that I maintained my focus, I thought I would share a tip that my Dad gave me a long time ago. “There will always be someone who knows more than you do” Such...

  • A tale of two brothers

    (This story is purely fictional, although I am sure that in the course of history it is very likely that something similar happened) One day a husband and wife were blessed with a double miracle in the form of 2 identical twin sons. Within the first 4 years of their lives it had become evident that God...

  • Building a culture of integrity

    I had to laugh a little. The one blog post that I wrote this year which also generated the most comments is the only one with a hint of negative sound to it!! I have to stress one thing and people need to hear me when I say this. I am completely in acknowledgment of the fact that people make mistakes...
