Transform Your Life in a Week

by Jerry Del Colliano

Ever notice how different a vacation somewhere other than home can do for your health, happiness and personal life?

And often it only takes a day or two back in the grind to return to the thing we needed to take a vacation from in the first place.

Try this.

Pick a week and make it a week of transformation.

Each day concentrate on one change and to the best of your ability, stick to it.  And if you don’t like the results, you can always go back to the old routine in seven days.

Breaking a Dry Spell

by Jerry Del Colliano

Athletes have them – a time when they can’t seem to get a hit, score a goal or contribute positively to their team no matter what they do.

Actors have them – they might have been all the rage once and now they can’t seem to get a good part.

Singers can be one hit wonders or they can come back again and again and stoke their careers even over the span of different generations.

We all have dry spells.

When a hockey player can’t seem to score a goal through skill or luck, it is usually because they are getting so concerned that they grip their stick too tightly.  The same is true in others sports where trying too hard does not reap results.

Beginner's Luck

by Jerry Del Colliano, February 13, 2013

It is amazing how many beginners are lucky.

If you’ve wondered why that is, perhaps it is because beginners are not really lucky.

They are fearless.

The more we fear failure, the more we fear what it takes to be successful.

When we start something new – such as a new job, a new hobby, or a new interest, our best days are usually in the beginning before we hear the negative attitudes of others, or even worse – the repetitive words of constraint.

Consumer Electronics Show 2013

This was my fifth CES and I still have my gadget glow. I’ll take one of the above, please.

Year one, I was a techshow virgin even though I’d spent most of my life building and running TV stations. And that when it was all about big screen TV’s. No doubt, until I got into data and mobile/social delivery, did the true underbelly of what it takes to make our lives so connected and creatively showcased did I want to go every year.

No one said that better than Will.i.am. Yes, Mr. Black-Eyed Peas was a killer speaker and innovator and everyone in the room was shaking their heads at his brilliance about tech. He’s even on the boards of Coke and Intel.

MDDScore is a simple blood test that can aid in the diagnosis of Major Depressive disorder (MDD). The MDDScore looks at a combination of 10 biochemicals from four different biological pathways in the body.

Blood levels of these individual body chemicals are measured and then entered into a unique mathematical equation to obtain a single test score. This score represents the person’s likelihood of having MDD.

The test result is intended to be used as an aid in the diagnosis and management of MDD and in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory information.
