CANCER CURED – What is Worry?

Posted by Douglas A Wick on Mon, Sep 9, 2024

My doctor may not have been in the best position to judge what I should do (Remember this if you’re confronted with your feelings vs. a doctor’s diagnosis). Her assessment would remain accurate unless I discovered how to improve my meditation. In the meditation, immediately after her judgment, I felt I uncovered the way through this. Putting it into practice when I got back to the hospital would be evidential proof.

Core Values in Candidate Selection – Zappos “Are You Lucky?”

Posted by Douglas A Wick on Thu, Aug 14, 2014

I’m on vacation this week and decided to repost two blogs that I feel have a message that needs to be repeated.  The following blog is from February 6th, 2014. People as noted in Jim Collins Good to Great are the #1 factor in business success.  Making sure you are hiring the right people is critical to ensuring your business success.  Rockefeller Habits best practices demand creating Core Values.  How do you use those Core Values?  If you’re not using them to develop questions to determine if you have the right candidates to fit your culture, you should consider developing them.  Here’s an example from Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh on how to use Core Values as they do to discover whether potential employees are a good fit in their culture.

I was feeling good about my recovery from Acute Myeloid Leukemia and my Bone Marrow Transplant.  That Tuesday I decided to go to the University of Iowa Hospital/Clinic since my leg hurt since I slipped and fell into my snow blower the week before.
