Baby-led weaning update
Michael is almost two now, which means he's been eating solids for almost a year and a half. I thought I'd share my reflections on our experience with feeding Michael and how the baby-led weaning approach has been working.
Baby-led weaning is an approach to introducing solids that are not pureed, so that baby can self-feed and enjoy a variety of textures. There is also the theory that seeing foods in their normal form will help baby determine what he or she needs, allowing baby choice and self-regulation. We initially tried puree and finger foods. I thought he needed puree because he didn't have teeth and I read that you can't really digest food that isn't chewed properly. What I didn't understand was that the first several months of solids are purely for experimentation…not nutrition. Also, babies can actually chew some foods without teeth. From around age 6 months to a year, most babies will put just about anything in their mouths. They are willing to try so many foods at this age, so it's the perfect time to introduce them, with their normal shapes and textures. After the purees gave him a tummy ache, and he soon refused them, I realized we had gone down the wrong route. By 8 or 9 months, we were fully on the baby-led weaning route.
Michael loved a great variety of healthy foods, and on the rare occasion he got a sweet, he didn't eat much of it. By a year he was ready to eat anything off of my plate (I held off on high allergen risk foods, like peanuts, until this time). He didn't eat very much solid food at all. Just nibbles and tastes, unless he was really hungry or tried something he really liked. And that was just fine because he was still getting everything he needed from the breast. He only had two teeth at this time, so eating took some effort on his part, and I think it was too much trouble for him to eat a lot of food.
In hindsight, I would have given him an even greater variety to try before he turned one, because afterwards, he became a little less adventurous. It was like the first months primed him on what he thought he should be eating. The good news was that he had tried and liked lots of healthy, wholesome foods, textures and all.
I noticed with each new tooth he was able to chew more efficiently. This fits along with my theory that children shouldn't be weaned from the breast until they have all their baby teeth (also known as milk teeth!). Otherwise, it would just take too long to eat normal food, especially things like meat and raw veggies. Michael was a late teether (didn't even get his 3rd and 4th teeth until he was 15 months old), so I think this has made it take longer for him to eat more solids. With each new pair of teeth, he would increase the amount of solids he would eat.
Sometimes it takes a while for him to accept a new food. For example, he wouldn't eat potatoes for the longest time. Sometimes he just needs time, and sometimes I have to figure out how he likes it. Turns out that he prefers broccoli and mushrooms raw, and he likes potatoes baked with olive oil. I think he is going to have a nicely refined palate, too, because when something is seasoned well and cooked right, and he will eat it up. A couple times I have ordered him food off of the kids menu at a restaurant, and he won't eat it if the quality is low. He likes real food.
Around 18 months old, he decided he liked sweets and was excited about them. At first he asked for them every day or two (this was during Christmas time, so sweets were in abundance), but then the novelty wore off. We have always limited their appearance in our house, but we always let him have some if he wants. Sometimes I have to remind him that there is other food to eat, and he readily accepts the healthier food. It might still take some time for him to realize that sweets don't satisfy hunger very well. We only keep dark chocolate in the house, and he loves it, but would much rather gobble up a bowl of berries. He doesn't ask for sweets very often. Normally.
Michael always gets the same food we are eating. I always try to provide a well-balanced meal that includes a couple of things that he favors. I always give him some of everything, even if I think he won't eat it. Sometimes he won't touch something he normally likes. Sometimes he just wants tomatoes, and sometimes he won't touch them. Same thing with meat, or cheese, or bread. He is listening to his body and eating what he craves. We never make him try anything he doesn't want to. We don't coax him to finish his meal. He doesn't have to eat anything if he doesn't want to.
Since he is still nursing, I don't worry about him going hungry or not getting enough nutrients. Even though I think he eats some pretty healthy foods, it's nice to know that the milk rounds out his meals. Especially on those occasions when all he wants is french fries (hey, it happens).
In hindsight, there are a few things I would do differently. I would have started giving him food when he first showed interest around four months. He probably wouldn't have eaten anything that young, but he could have tasted something, just sucked on some food maybe. There were times that he would just stare at me like, I want some, where's mine? I was too worried about the "open gut" that I wanted to play it safe and wait till 6 months. Next time I think I will trust my child to know when he or she is ready.
I would have exposed him to more foods before he turned one. This is definitely a window of opportunity for trying new things. And then, just as a general rule, which I am already starting to do, is provide a bigger spread of food at the dinner table, so that everyone has more to choose from. It's a little more work, but a very healthy practice, I think.
He still has a typical toddler appetite, eating so little at times and then gorging on something. He seems like he's getting pickier, but I think he's just learning what he likes and knows what he's in the mood for. I think he is listening to his body, maybe holding out for the specific nutrients that he needs. Overall, I still think it's going really well.

I love baby led weaning. It just makes so much sense. We've never spoon fed Luke and just yesterday someone said ' wow he uses the spoon good for his age'.
Cool to know that Michael eats more now. Luke is starting to but he still has some milk only days.

Thanks for doing this post Lisa! I find it really interesting. I didn't do baby-led weaning with Aoife, hadn't even heard of it until I started blogging, but will definitely do with future children. Especially loved your comment about trying an even greater variety of foods before the age of one (which goes against everything I was advised when I was weaning Aoife), because I noticed the same thing with Aoife. She loves her food, and eats a balanced diet most of the time, but it is definitely more work to get her to try foods she hadn't tried by one or later.

So wonderful to hear your thoughts! It takes a lot of (self- and other-) convincing that children don't really need solids that first year if they're nursing. It was something I had to learn to trust, too, and not worry that he wasn't really swallowing anything at that point.
I love your pointing out the name of "milk teeth." So true!
I'm trying not to beat myself up too much about not introducing even more foods when he was younger, because, yes, now Mikko's the typical picky 3-year-old. I'm just trying to remind myself it is typical, and it will pass. We're doing the same thing as you — not insisting on eating any particular food, not making a huge no-no-no deal out of sweets but making healthful choices available. I'm trusting it will all shake out when he's ready. I've been wondering if the picky phase, since it is so common, is protective? I don't know, just wondering!
June 29, 2010 7:28 am
We did BLW too! Loved it! We started it in part due to my first daughters total rejection to the spoon. She loved having control of her own food, and would eat so much more if it was handed to her. She got exposed to TONS of variety (we are pretty into cooking and foods, ourselves) and yet….she is still the pickyiest preschooler on the planet! Don't beat yourself up about your picky eaters — I really believe they are born, not made. My Emma is a cautious person in most aspects of her life, including (not surprisingly) her eating.
We did BLW along with spoon feeding & purees with my twins — they were voracious eaters from the start and loved spoon feeding as well as self feeding. They ate almost anything we gave them until about a year and a half, and have since gotten more and more picky — though nothing like their big sis.

Cricket match raises vital funds for Acorns
Published by rtownsend for Sanctuary Housing Association in Housing and also in Communities
Staff from Worcester-based Sanctuary Group went head to head with each other in a game of Twenty20 Cricket to raise vital funds for Acorns Children's Hospice.
The special encounter, which took place at Rushwick Cricket Club, received fantastic support from staff across the Group and donations helped raise around £2,000 for the Hospice.
Don Barclay's 'Bravehearts' were up against Tareq Jamil's 'Tigers' for the showdown which was attended by Gareth Andrew from Worcestershire County Cricket Club who met the captains at the start and oversaw the coin toss.
The Bravehearts won the toss and batted first, posting a strong total of 99-6. Chris Gardner (33) and Neil Chapman (36) impressed with the bat, while Alex Tyrer took 2-2 with the ball.
In response, the Tigers put on a strong chase with Aman Kaushik scoring an unbeaten 30, however, they could only manage 92-5 from their overs and Barclay's Bravehearts ran out winners by eight runs.
The game marked the five-year anniversary of the Sanctuary Cricket Club and was part of the Group's year-long commitment to Acorns as its 'Charity of the Year'.
Acorns Children's Hospice offers a network of care and support for life threatened and life limited children, and their families, across the Midlands. Currently looking after nearly 900 families in three hospices around the region – in Worcester, Birmingham and Walsall – it costs over £8million every year for Acorns to run its services, relying on donations and fundraising for the majority of its income.
Neil Hirons, Sanctuary development project finance manager who organised the event, said: "What a fantastic night! We really wanted to start the new cricket season with a bang and what better way to do it than raise so much money for Acorns.
"The support we received for the event from staff and local business shows how much they were behind the idea and next year we plan on going even bigger and better."

By Staff Sgt. Stephen Roach, 16th Mobile Public Affairs DetachmentJanuary 25, 2010
(Jan. 24 was the seventh day on the ground in Haiti for Staff Sgt. Roach):
This morning we had a last minute Digital Video and Image Distribution System (a satellite system) shoot with the U.S. Ambassador to Haiti. He spoke with the Today Show at around 7:00 a.m. Eastern time. As soon as he was gone, I took the video camera and the still photo camera for a mission that I thought was going to a food distribution center here in Port-Au-Prince. When I arrived at the Embassy, I found out the photo shoot had been cancelled so I got clearance to go into the city to take still photos and video of some of the neighborhoods that suffered the most damage during the earthquake.
After an exhausting search for the motor pool used by military forces I finally found a Navy Petty Officer in charge of assigning vehicles and drivers for missions in and around the city. I had an excellent Haitian driver named "Junior," before the quake he was a DJ at a local night club that was destroyed. Now he drives U.S. service members to different points around the city.
As we prepared to start our day Junior told me that while his immediate family all survived the earthquake, but he was still missing two aunts, a number of cousins and more friends that he cared to count. I asked Junior to take me to the hardest hit areas. We started our journey through the city by stopping in at the XVIII Airborne Corps Life Support Area to get a few more Soldiers to accompany us for added security. Three Soldiers gladly jumped in our RAV4 and we headed straight to the areas Junior said we should see.
Navigating the traffic in Port-Au-Prince is like watching a well choreographed stunt show at a theme park in the US. Cars pass each other at high rates of speed three and four wide on normal city streets. At anytime you can expect to a car within one-and-half to two inches from your door. At one point a young girl no older than 12, jumped out from between two vehicles and came so close to being hit by our small SUV that everyone in the car let out a gasp. Junior looked over with a worried look on his face and told me that if he had hit her he would have hung himself, when someone says something like that to me I always think they are exaggerating but deep down I believed him.
A few miles from where we started, Junior pointed to a corner market that at one point before it collapsed had apartments over it. I asked him to pull over and we got out and while I shot video and took stills, the Soldiers with me pulled guard and walked with me through the pile of rubble. As I was shooting, a man from the UN walked up to me and showed his ID. He said his boss lived in the apartment building--they were there trying to find his body. That was the first of many buildings we found in the same condition, with the same work going on.
We continued to drive and Junior wanted me to see a large multi-level store with food inside. We crossed the police line and went to see what the recovery effort looked like when so many valuable supplies were at stake. Men loaded food into large trucks while hungry people watched from across the yellow tape. After I had taken my shots we got back in the car and I said something along the lines of what those men were doing was dangerous work since the building was in such bad shape. Junior told me the store owner had paid the men to move the food into trucks before the store could be looted. We have no idea where the food was sent.
One thing we did see a lot of on the streets were police officers doing their best to maintain order in a city that has had very little in past days. While these officers had their hands full directing traffic and maintaining order they took the time to gives us a "thumbs up" when they saw us go by. I hope that means the same thing here as it does in the states.
A short time later we ended up on the trail of a truckload of medical supplies. As we followed the convoy we ran into a group of United Nations Soldiers clearing the road of debris around one of their bases here. The Soldiers were Brazilian and looked as if they had been up for days, which I am sure they had. Unfortunately, we lost our convoy during the checkpoint and ended up moving towards the city's cathedral. Every block was affected by this quake. It seemed as if every other home had a sign in English that said the people inside needed food and water.
We arrived at the cathedral around noon. Junior told me it was more than one-hundred years old. I have seen cathedrals all over Europe and can say that I think two weeks ago it would have been one of the most grand I had seen. Today, it is a total loss.
However, I was surprised to see that in the front lawn across the parking lot the church had set up pews for services--a testament that life here will continue to be as normal as it can be during the recovery and clean up.
We loaded back up and moved to the airport, an airport that before the quake took less than 20 flights a day. Now with the aftermath it is taking in over 120 flights a day, most of which are either relief supplies or people here to help in the effort to hand them out. The route took us through the downtown area. From what I saw it was the hardest hit in the quake. There were entire city blocks that had been leveled. Hundreds of people on the streets looking for whatever supplies they could find to live on. We passed a number of Western Union branches that were back in operation and hundreds of people stood outside waiting their turns to be allowed in to get money that had been sent to them.
At the airport, I met a young Army private first class named Brandon from Cleveland, Ohio. He was standing guard to ensure order was maintained with his fellow 407th Brigade Support Battalion Soldiers from the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division. They, along with a number of Coast Guardsmen and Airmen, stood in the sun all day to make sure the airport stayed a secure point for supplies to be imported.
We loaded back up in our little SUV and got back on the road. I wanted to get to the seaport. There are some structural issues with the piers and I was told Navy divers were on site to check the damage and make an assessment of its usability. Between the airport and the seaport lies a shanty town built in the past few days according to our driver Junior. We stopped to take a few photos. Up until that stop I had complained from time to time about the heat here in Haiti and how much I missed central heat and air. I can tell you that from this point forward I will never make a comment like that again. Hundreds of tents were crammed side by side for as far as I could see from where I was standing. A "dust devil" picked up trash and threw it around in front of us as families tried to survive in that large tent city.
When we arrived at the port there was a U.S. Army landing craft from Virginia on the ground. The warrant officer in charge of the boat told me they were testing a place to bring the boat ashore for ship to shore operations, one more way to bring aid to this country that needs it so badly. As we walked down the pier we found Colombian Red Cross workers unloading food and water, a Belgian Naval vessel unloading a U.S. Navy Salvage Team as well as a host of U.S. Coast Guardsmen.
While only half the pier we were on is structurally sound, but that half is being put to great use. I looked up and saw a Naval Sea Stallion Helicopter flying with a sling load and looked out to the ocean and saw the USNS Comfort. The Navy's floating hospital. I have heard people say that there is not enough coordination going on here in Haiti. After watching the operations in the port I just don't buy that argument.
We were driving back and I told the driver that I wish we had seen a food and water supply point. Sgt. Richard Andrade, a print journalist with me from the 16th MPAD, went to an airdrop yesterday that fed thousands of people and I wanted some video that showed the relief effort having an effect. Junior said there was a supply point not too far away, so we went.
We pulled up outside a gate with a few hundred Haitians standing out front. We got out of our truck and they started chanting "U-S-A, U-S-A, U-S-A" and shaking our hands and patting us on the backs. I felt bad because I knew I had nothing as a journalist in the Army to offer them. The folks that were there for them were already inside.
As we went through the checkpoint we were motioned to the back where we met an army of volunteers from the Dominican Republic. They told us they had brought in 600 trucks with supplies since the earthquake. We chatted for a while using an interpreter then got back on the road to the Embassy.
I had been to some really bad part of the world during my time in the Army and have never in my life seen a group of people in more need that those outside the gates I am housed in.
Editor's Note: Staff Sgt. Stephen Roach is a broadcaster with the 16th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment, headquartered at Fort Bliss, Texas. He and Sgt. Richard Andrade have deployed to Haiti with the XVIII Airborne Corps to provide public affairs support. In addition to writing and producing stories, they are assisting the XVIII Airborne Corps public affairs section with facilitating civilian media.

and i had alot invested in crown items. They refuse to refund my items.
There reason was they did not like what i had to say about their game and the way
they operate. This a very greedy game and customer support stinks! They promote
gambling by these hoard packs for good items that you have to spend crowns on which
cost money to purchase. Your odds are very slim of getting any good items. This game
is supposed to be kid friendly. What a joke. They are after money and make you spend money
on crowns to purchase these good items! Kingsisle needs to be investigated for fraud and
shut down! I am going to the attorney general and file a report in DALLAS where they are
operating out of. They are constantly ripping of their customers. Dont play Wizard 101.
I want all my money back for all the crown items i purchased or my account unbanned!

Calling DEX MEDIA in Englewood, CO, they "were continually looking for signed contracts, with no luck. This month, had a conversation with Cal, the manager of the claims department. He reviewed my company's notes, told me in 1999 and 2000, "Deb C" signed my contract...problem is I have NEVER employed a "Deb" (or anyone with a similar name).
He read me the notes the reps put into the computer. All refer to "cannot contact"...but yet my contract continues. Since "Greg", my rep quit in 2007, there has been two reps...have never seen nor been contacted by them. I stopped paying this charge in May 2007. Maybe all reps just keep getting commission on accounts that are "not paying"?
I have requested a copy of these contracts and received a cover fax, BUT NO CONTRACTS. When asked to have address of the DEX MEDIA Legal Dept, he said to send it to him...I said no. He said he would NEVER remove these charges as it was my responsibility to notify DEX MEDIA directly and not to use the reps...I asked what are the reps for? No answer but silence.
They have illegally singed me up by someone else signing my contract, have "conveniently" lost the cease and desist note (given by phone AND fax) to my sales rep. They are a ripoff company and I want justice! PLEASE someone else contact me regarding this issue.

I had had a brick and mortar business where a guy had come into my shop and presented me with a credit card merchant services program that sounded good. I agreed to the terms, signed the lease, got the equipment and was, initially happy with the program. The fees were deducted from my checking account each month. After awhile, the equipment became outdated and I could not contact anyone. The contact information I had was no longer any good. So, I went with another company. I sent the outdated equipment back but was still having fees deducted from my checking account. I ended up having to close my account to prevent this unreachable entity from taking monthly deductions from my account.
Almost a year later, I started getting calls from a collection agency representing the A1 Leasing Company stating that I was being taken to collection for leasing fees I still owed. ???? To make a long story short, I paid the fees (over $2K) just to keep my credit intact. But, the interesting thing was the man who was doing the collection was actually very nice. He informed me that A1 had the right to renew the lease after the two year agreement at ANY rate they so choose unless I cancel the lease IN WRITING prior to the end of the first two year contract. All this is was in very small, half tone print on the back of the original lease I signed with A1.
Turns out, it is the same way with this insane Bond Corp and Startup Essentials. So, if you are trying to keep your credit intact by biting the bullet and letting them grab $150.00 or so a month of your hard earned cash, be forewarned that if you do not send them notice in writing (and I would highly recommend sending it return receipt requested), they have the right to renew your contract for whatever amount they want and you don't even have to sign a contract. You already have!
I am part of the class action suit against Bond Corp but haven't heard anything about the outcome of the case. Does anyone have any info on that? I really want to stop letting them get my money but can't afford to have my credit messed up. But, I also can't afford to keep letting them take my money.
The laptop I got is also a piece of junk. Barely used and it won't work half the time. When I told them I already had a laptop, their reasoning was that the one they were sending me was set up and equipped to do on line transaction with the JP Morgan banking system that would be used. Get real!!!
I wouldn't want to be those people...karma can be nasty when you are.

Makes me wonder....whose side is HE on? That's it? That's less than 1/8th of a four year payment commitment refund! Does the rest go to him for his compensation for taking the case? And, that's only if you are current in your payments so, in order to qualify for this "compensation" you have to be feeding the beast. Hardly worth it. Upon questioning this, David Grossman become quite curt and unfriendly. FYI
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

I recently upgraded to the latest version of WordPress and now it gives me a white screen every time I save or edit a post or change any of the settings in the wp-admin menu. What should I do ?
I recently upgraded to the latest version of WordPress and now it gives me a white screen every time I save or edit a post or change any of the settings in the wp-admin menu. What should I do ?
I should probably note that I've tried disabling all plugins already. That doesn't solve the problem.
Have you tried:
- switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?
- resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.
- re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress?
- increasing the memory available to PHP?
Thanks for the advice, esmi. I had tried all but reuploading the latest version but I'm afraid that didn't solved the problem either.
Having the same problem also and no one seems to have an asnwer.
Since the latest few updates to WordPress we are continually running into problems with pages that contain photos.
If you click on the "Other" tab on http://www.prasarnmitinternationalprogram.com/facilities/
you will see 11 images.
If you do the same thing and click the last tab on the right on http://www.prasarnmitinternationalprogram.com/thai/facilities/
you will see it's a blank page.
Both pages are identical to each other with the exception that one contains Thai text and the other English and one contains 11 images and the blank one 14.
Both pages have the same photos uploaded at 72dpi and 800 x 600 pixel. We're using the same code for the layout on each page with images set to 180pixel width each.
The images display fine in the editor for 13 images but any more than that and onsite we get a blank page - white screen of nothingness, despite them showing okay in the editor.
On other sites using different templates the white screen of death appears with as little as 8 (somewhat larger) images.
If we split the images over two pages and hard code them together so they appear as one page online then they will display.
We've deactivated all the plug ins and tried with the default theme and still get the same results as with our custom templates.
We've also increased PHP.INI memory to 128M but still not joy.
Currently this is affecting about six of our clients sites
Any suggestions please?
I'm quite sure that's actually a different problem altogether, Pattaya. Perhaps theme related but my white screens are happening in the admin panel. The website itself looks fine.
Turns out it was a problem with my theme not being compatible with the latest version of WordPress.
Yes it was as it turns out.
After giving this more thought I came to the conclusion that this was more table related than image related.
I cam across this blog story Table Plugin to Fix WordPress
Found there was already a plugin folder called TinyMCE on one of the websites and deleted by FTP and then reinstalled the plugin and everything works perfectly.
Installed TinyMCE Advanced on another website that previously didn't have it and it also fixed the problem there too.
If this is such an issue that it needs a plugin why doesn't WordPress address the issue in its core code?
We've literally spent days trying to track down this issue.

Why Clients Buy
Harry Beckwith is the author of Unthinking: The Surprising Forces Behind What We Buy. His books also include the modern marketing classics, Selling the Invisible, The Invisible Touch, and What Clients Love: A Field Guide to Growing Your Business.
I asked Beckwith how we can use his latest insights about buyer behavior to rethink our approaches to business development.
How to Become a Great Consultant
"We look for people who are smart, who are humble, and who are nice."
In this podcast, I talk with Mark Birzell, co-founder of consulting firm, Loft9, which was named one of Consulting magazine's Seven Small Jewels of 2012. Since the launch of Loft9 in 2010, the firm has grown its client base, revenue, and its group of consultants. One of the firm's keys to success: hire extraordinary people and be proactive in the growth and development their careers.
I talked to Mark about what personal attributes he believes makes for a great consultant, how his firm is approaching the market, and how he thinks about getting the right price for his firm's services.
How to Manage a Professional Services Firm
Maureen Broderick is the author of The Art of Managing Professional Services: Insights from Leaders of the World's Top Firms. In the book, she draws on more than 130 in-depth interviews with top firm leaders to create a roadmap for building a high-performance practice.
How to Take the Pain Out of Marketing
"We're not good at bringing in completely new leads from cold."
Most consultants, and I'd include myself in this, would probably admit that they could do a better job marketing their practices.
We all face one or more of the familiar barriers to effective marketing—not enough time, not enough interest, or not enough patience to stick with it when you don't get quick results.
Everyone's situation is different, but there are good answers to the toughest questions about marketing. To help answer those questions, I asked UK-based marketing consultant, Ian Brodie, for his views on our common marketing challenges.
Ian has worked as a consultant—and with consultants—for years. And I think he'd tell you that he's tried lots of things that worked really well for his business and some that didn't.
How to See the Future
Daniel Burrus is the author of the bestselling new book, Flash Foresight: How to See the Invisible and Do the Impossible, and Technotrends. Burrus is one of the world's leading technology forecasters and business strategists.
We asked him how we can use the futurist's tools to guide our businesses and help clients find those new opportunities.
How to Start a Consulting Firm From Scratch
"After years and years of working in a large management consulting firm, I felt there had to be a better way."
If you've ever thought of launching your own consulting firm or wondered how it's done, then have a listen to this podcast with Dan Calista, founder of Vynamic, a health care industry management consulting firm. Dan started the practice with a lap top in his living room in 2002.
Today, Vynamic is a practice of more than 60 people who serve health care industry clients and continue to build an extraordinary place to pursue their careers.
In this podcast, Dan talks about the defining moment that led him to launch Vynamic, what he learned as he grew the business, and what he'd do differently if he was starting over again.
How to Run a Great Webcast
"People don't usually need more data; they need story, and meaning, and application."
Like me, you've probably attended many webinars or other virtual presentations. Overall, the sessions I've seen have been, at best, uneven in quality. Given that, I thought I'd ask Roger Courville, one of the most articulate experts on this subject, what it takes to stage a great webinar.
Roger wrote the book on virtual presentations–literally. He's the author of The Virtual Presenter's Handbook, which helps virtual presenters develop and deliver content that engages audiences. He's also the co-founder of 1080 Group, a firm that helps clients design and optimize web seminar programs.
In this podcast, Roger and I talk about the common characteristics of a great webinar, how speakers can hold an audience's attention, and how to approach the creation of presentation slides. Roger also offers his perspective on the market for paid webinars, why webinar programs are an untapped opportunity, and what the future holds for virtual presentations.
How to Become a Top-Performing Seller
In this podcast, I talk with Matthew Dixon and Brent Adamson, co-authors of The Challenger Sale: Taking Control of the Customer Conversation.
Based on their extensive survey of more than 6,000 salespeople, Dixon and Adamson have identified the profile of a seller who is four times more likely than others to be a top performer.
This powerful research, which skewers some of the most sacred cows of selling, is full of lessons that you can use now.
How to Use Your Emotional Intelligence at Work
In this podcast, I talk with Daniel Goleman, author of the groundbreaking book, Emotional Intelligence. Goleman's recent research on brain science suggests new ways to use our minds to be creative when we need to be, to build rapport more easily, and to stay focused and productive for longer periods of time.
His new findings are included in his eBook, The Brain and Emotional Intelligence: New Insights. He shares some of those insights with us in this podcast.
How to Become a Trusted Advisor
Charles Green and Andrea Howe, authors of The Trusted Advisor Fieldbook, the successor to Green's classic work, The Trusted Advisor, talk about new ways to build trust with clients, colleagues, and others.
How to Create a Great Client Experience
Jim Gilmore is the co-author (with Joseph Pine) of the recently-updated, groundbreaking book, The Experience Economy.
I talked to Gilmore about how we can create the experiences that will help us serve clients more effectively, attract new ones, and build our businesses.
How to Make Your Content Compelling
Ann Handley, author of the fast-selling book, Content Rules, How to Create Killer Blogs, Podcasts, Videos, Ebooks, Webinars (and More) That Engage Customers and Ignite Your Business, is a veteran of creating and managing digital content to build relationships for organizations and individuals.
She is the Chief Content Officer of MarketingProfs, which provides strategic and tactical marketing know-how for marketing and business professionals through a full range of online media.
How to Set Your Price
You can offer great services, be an amazing marketer, and know everything you need to sell your services. But if you don't get your price right, you can find yourself working harder and longer than you planned.
In this podcast, I talk with Michael Katz, founder of Blue Penguin Development, about pricing for professional service providers.
We talk about how you should price your services, the role of measurable value in your proposed price, and the part of the pricing process that most service providers should try to change now.
How to Win a Complex Sale
Jill Konrath is a leading sales strategist and the author of Selling to Big Companies, and SNAP Selling: Speed Up Sales and Win More Business with Today's Frazzled Customers. In this podcast, Jill offers practical strategies to help you reach the right client, with the right offer, at the right time.
How to Become a Great Leader
In this podcast, I talk with James Kouzes, co-author with Barry Posner of the international bestseller, The Leadership Challenge, and the new edition of Credibility: How Leaders Gain and Lose It, Why People Demand It. For more than 25 years, Kouzes and his colleagues have conducted extensive research around the world on the traits and behaviors of effective leaders.
Kouzes and I talk about the four top traits that people admire most in their leaders (competence doesn't top the list, by the way) and how emerging leaders can develop those skills.
The Competitive Advantage Most Organizations Miss
"Though I can't be sure, I suspect that at some point about thirty years ago, a cleverly sadistic and anti-business consultant decided that the best way to really screw up companies was to convince them that what they needed was a convoluted, jargony, and all-encompassing declaration of intent."
Patrick Lencioni is a consultant, best-selling author, and president of The Table Group, a consulting firm dedicated to building healthy organizations. He speaks and consults to a wide range of companies, including multinationals, start-ups,and non-profits.
His latest book, The Advantage: Why Organizational Health Trumps Everything Else in Business, is the culmination of Lencioni's full body of work. And in the book, he lays out a strong case for why organizational health offers the greatest opportunity for competitive advantage.
How to Create Breakthrough Ideas
Mark Levy is the founder of Levy Innovation, a marketing strategy company, and the author of Accidental Genius: Using Writing to Generate Your Best Ideas, Insight, and Content. Levy's book shows us how to use a tool called freewriting to explore our ideas, solve problems, and create marketing and thought leadership material.
In this podcast interview, we asked Levy to explain what freewriting is, why it works, how to get started, and how to apply it in our businesses.
How to Change Anything
"We're surrounded by influences that we don't even see–we're blind to them."
In this podcast I talk with David Maxfield, co-author of the book, Change Anything: The New Science of Personal Success .
Maxfield and his team studied the science of personal change through their work with over 5,000 people. The result is a comprehensive framework for making and sustaining personal change.
How to Give Your Best Speech Ever
Nick Morgan is the author of the eBook, 7 Steps to a Great Speech. Morgan, one of America's top communication theorists and coaches, is also the author of Trust Me: Four Steps to Authenticity and Charisma, and Give Your Speech, Change the World: How to Move Your Audience to Action.
How to Have a Tough Conversation
In this podcast, I talk with Kerry Patterson, co-author of the landmark book, Crucial Conversations. The first edition of the book, which sold 2 million copies, changed how we communicate at work and in our personal lives. Now, the book has been completely updated, with new research, case studies, and tools that you can use to make your high stakes conversations go more smoothly.
Patterson and I talk about why crucial conversations can be so tough–part of the problem is the hard wiring humans are born with. And we discuss how to keep a crucial conversation on track, especially when emotions run high.
How to Sell Your Ideas
"We have become so enamoured of our ability to talk that we often delude ourselves into thinking that, if we can talk about an idea, we understand it well."
In this podcast, I talk with Dan Roam, author of BLAH, BLAH, BLAH: What To Do When Words Don't Work. Roam's mission is to help us solve problems and sell ideas more effectively–not just with words, but by tapping the power of visual communication.
He's written two other bestsellers on that topic: The Back of the Napkin: Solving Problems and Selling Ideas with Picture, and Unfolding the Napkin: The Hands-On Method for Solving Complex Problems with Simple Pictures.
Dan gives us some great (and easy) pointers for clarifying complex ideas and finding workable solutions to tough problems–using pictures!
How to Become a Rainmaker
In this podcast we talk with Mike Schultz, co-author of the book, Rainmaking Conversations: Influence, Persuade, and Sell in Any Situation, and of Professional Services Marketing. Schultz is the publisher of RainToday.com, and president of the RAIN Group.
He talks about the skills–and mindset–you need to become a rainmaker, why curiosity is an essential part of the sales process, and how you should think about the objections that arise during the sales process.
How to Use Power Questions
Sometimes, the best questions you could ask your clients in interviews, sales meetings, or casual conversations don't occur to you until after the encounter. That's happened to me more than once while driving home from a meeting.
Now you can be ready before your meetings with help from the new book, Power Questions: Build Relationships, Win New Business, and Influence Others, by Andrew Sobel and Jerold Panas.
The book highlights 35 conversations with CEOs, clients, and friends to illustrate the impact of thought-provoking, incisive questions.
In this podcast, I ask Andrew to share his best power questions, especially those that can help you through a sales process. We also talk about the questions you shouldn't ask.
How to Become a Great Boss
Most people have at least one horror story about a bad boss. If you're lucky, you've also experienced a really good boss.
Our guest, Robert Sutton, has a thing or two to say on the subject of bosses. Sutton is a professor of Management Science and Engineering at Stanford, and the author of Good Boss, Bad Boss: How to Be the Best…and Learn from the Worst.
Sutton's previous books include the bestseller, The No-Asshole Rule, Weird Ideas That Work, Hard Facts, Dangerous Half-Truths & Total Nonsense, and The Knowing-Doing Gap.
I asked Sutton for his take on what makes for a good boss and a bad one. I also asked for his opinion on some famous bosses like Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, Steve Ballmer, and Tony Hayward.
How to Get a Book Published
A common question I hear from consultants is, "How can I get a book published?"
In this podcast, I'll ask our guest, Glenn Yeffeth, that question. Glenn is publisher of BenBella Books, a boutique book publisher with a great track record for finding high-quality authors and publishing bestselling books.
Glenn isn't a stranger to management consulting. Before founding BenBella Books, he was managing director at the consulting firm, CSC Index.
I'll also ask Glenn what publishers look for when evaluating a nonfiction book proposal, what book topics attract publishers, and how to work with a literary agent.

I've searched and haven't found any solutions to these issues. Here's what I'd like to be able to do:
1) Password protected entries only display the title on the home page. Once that title is clicked, the message with the password box appears, but on the home page (or category page), it's only the "Please enter password to view this post" message or just the title of the entry. Currently, each password protected entry has a password box on the home page and it looks clunky. But other content I want to display text like normal, so I can't just change the recent_post function.
2) A logout link for deleting the password cookie, so people who log in to view the post content of one entry don't then make that content available to anyone who sits at the computer (I'm thinking of this as an online evaluation tool for my students and my comments for Johhny's paper shouldn't be able to be read by Susie or anyone else). Deleting cookies or even all offline content doesn't work to rectify this. I actually can't find a way to get that password box back again but by waiting a few days, I suppose.
3) The password entered into the textbox should be asterisks, not the actual password.
So, waddaya think? Can we do it?

I was just wondering what a Brand new Gibson Banjo cost and was looking at the least expensive. Then I was curious what the most expensive was. I was shocked when I found out. The model called "The Super Earl" cost $55,506. After finding that out I began to wonder how much there most expensive electric guitar cost. That was $20,000 less than the banjo. I was not looking to buy one but was just curious of the price. Now I know why curiosity killed the cat. If you find this to hard to believe here is a link.http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Aco...er-Earl.aspx

Take an Earl Scruggs model, add some abalone, some engraving...then throw in a portrait of Earl. $55K? The portrait must be worth about $47K!!!!

What about realizing that Earl Scruggs could afford any one of those banjos , because he learned thru great effort to play the banjo better than any one at the time. Earl lives in a beautiful home , oh my God Earl Scruggs is stinking rich ! by the way the most expensive banjo is Earls , what to you think it would bring ? priceless i would guess ! pitiful your view of successful people and worthless !

I recall that the B&D Ne Plus Ultra # 9 banjos were quite expensive for their day. I have no idea what they would cost to make now days. The more fancy the banjo, the more they cost. I have been watching the Dan Knowles ebony banjo thread on the Hangout. This gives an idea about how much time, expertise and effort it takes to build a highly decorated "art" banjo. When the banjo becomes the vehicle for artistic expression the sky is the limit.

feldspar , it was bad ,bigotry at it's finest ! As you can see Godtopia removed it when i showed him that because Earl had worked hard to hone his passion into a profitable business endeavor that did not soil the man making him stinking rich! i would not refer to some one as dirt poor ,or stinking Rich because they could or could not afford a banjo. it seems as though around the world but especially in America success has become a bad thing to be punished reviled . I lived in a house with no heat no air con , windows painted shut for ten years while i struggled to make my business a success. For the last 2 years all i have heard is, evil ,stinking rich , not doing their fare share . In that same two year period i have given 2 stelling and one Williams banjos away to deserving young players , I have donated heavily to music camps and sponsored young players into banjo camps who could not afford to go. Goldtopia thinks because i worked hard to master my craft I now stink ! Personally Being one of the 2% that pay 40% of the taxes for the US population I don't think that effort stinks. I think casually painting a brush stroke on a whole group is in bad taste .As far as the spelling must have been my dyslexia another thing i concord . I vow not to let those insults go , for i am proud of success ! poor ole Earl never knew he was going to become stinking just because he was successful now give me the valium !
goldtopia - Posted - 02/22/2010: 02:31:01
OK. I was not getting at Earl. There are very rich people who buy things without really appreciating what they have got, whilst most us us have to save hard and value what we have. Stinking rich is just an expression, I should have guessed its not an expression used much in America. I removed the post to keep the peace. I apologise if it was taken the wrong way.Bill.Owww.bluegrassminstrels.co.uk

If there's going to be a contest for "Most Expensive", without regard for how it sounds, I'm going to offer a one-of-a kind "Squared Eel".It will be personally detailed, not with an ordinary marker, but with a MAGIC marker!And this ultimate gem will be called the "INFINITY SQUARED EEL", because infinity squared will be the price tag.In gold coins.The first person to send me a down payment of a minimum of 200 kilograms of gold coin, will receive a document informing the other collectors that she or he is the owner of this item, and the item will be delivered when the rest of the payment has been received. Y'allTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97EfvhFgRBYTwayne King will be allowed a $20 discount, because he did such a fine job of photoshopping my original Squared Eel onto the Tenniel illustration of the Mad Hatter.However, if somebody else ships me the gold FIRST, that is the person who becomes the owner.I shall not be making more than one Infinity Squared Eel, at the price stated.

I'm always impressed with those who have earned it. I met 2 rich people, one is a venture capitalist, the other runs a (now chain of) junkyard. I like the junk yard guy best.The "nouveau riche"? Nothing but abscesses of excesses. Their track records usually show more money than brains.
