And Now, A Word From Our Guest Blogger, Dr. Stephen Payne

Last updated on: July 8, 2009 at 5:20 am By JBW

So, Bradley is off taking his mini-sabbatical to contemplate the meaning of life, is he? What a distinct pleasure it will be to mount the camel while he is away. One can only imagine the kind of insights he will return with and then share with us in his inimitable style. As his mentor, I’m also appreciative of the opportunity to get back at him for all those “Monty Python with a Briefcase” jibes he throws at me in public... Read more

Who Would Jesus Fire?

Last updated on: July 5, 2009 at 2:51 pm By JBW

I have to fire Todd. His leadership performance has tanked for the past two years and I’ve had enough. Plus, I’ve come to the conclusion that he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed. Todd has been running one of our smaller business units – the one we never really cared about because it was so insignificant, and it just kind of ran itself. Well, the truth is that Todd actually ran it, and he wasn’t doing such a bad job for... Read more

Summer Reruns

Last updated on: July 1, 2009 at 9:03 pm By JBW

I can hardly believe that one full year has just about passed since I started up the Shrinking the Camel Blog last July. Ninety posts later, I can honestly look back and say, “What was I thinking?” I have no idea how I ever mustered up the time and energy for all of that creative writing, but there it is, hanging somewhere in that Tag Cloud to your lower right. I am happy to report that I have made some great friends along the way, and am ever so grateful... Read more

Are You Feeling Stupid At Work? I’m Here to Help.

Last updated on: June 16, 2016 at 8:48 am By JBW

Several months ago I posted an article called, “It’s Okay to Feel Stupid Sometimes.” In it I said that sooner or later, most of us will eventually run into a situation where we are in over our heads. And for a while, we will feel stupid. Being a sympathetic and encouraging career advisor, I went even further to say that feeling stupid is not only normal, it is actually a good sign. It means that you are growing and stretching beyond... Read more

When Jesus Was a Consultant

Last updated on: June 21, 2009 at 8:41 am By JBW

I worked as a management consultant for fifteen years before settling down with the company I am currently with. Like attorneys and used-car salesmen, consultants are subject to their fair share of derision and ridicule. I honestly couldn’t tell you why, since it is such a fine and upstanding profession, but I hear it all the time. An enthusiastic colleague will approach me in the hallway with a loud voice, coming a bit too close to my face, saying, “Hey,... Read more

Dadtastic! (Note to Self: Why I am a Good Father)

Last updated on: June 16, 2009 at 5:27 pm By JBW

Dear readers: This story has nothing to do with business or spirituality or anything of that sort. It’s about fathers and daughters, and watching them grow up. I wrote this a while ago, and thought Father’s Day would be a good time to post it. Happy Fathers Day, especially to Dads with growing daughters! I am still getting used to the fact that my daughters are now full-fledged teenagers. It has been hard for me to accept the fact that they are... Read more

The Princeton Event – Day Two, Afternoon Session

Last updated on: June 13, 2009 at 9:58 am By JBW

I almost forgot to mention how awesomely spectacular my luncheon address was. Which, hopefully is the part that all of my loyal Blog readers are so dying to hear about. “The debut of Bradley J. Moore!” I imagine you thinking, “We have been waiting months for this, since last July when the Blog started!” (That, by the way, is equivalent to about 32 years in internet-Blog-time). So there we all were, the thirty or so participants, seated comfortably in a... Read more

The Princeton Event, Day Two – Morning Session

Last updated on: June 9, 2009 at 5:14 pm By JBW

The next morning, several of us gathered together at 7:30 am in front of the Erdman Conference Center for a Meditative Walk. It was one of those perfect spring mornings, where the angle of the sunlight was so sharp and the air so crisp that you could have cracked it open with your teeth. We took the walk in silence, trooping down the sidewalks of Mercer Street, which is lined by a number of vastly tasteful Victorian homes (surely indwelled... Read more

Last updated on: June 4, 2009 at 4:42 pm By JBW

That’s right, I am now abbreviating it as simply, “The Princeton Event,” like it’s already become a legend after just one session, and that you should know exactly what I am talking about. That’s how good it was. And, come on, saying “Leadership & Spirituality: Transforming the Workplace” is such a mouthful, isn’t it? Plus it is hard to fit into a Twitter posting. If you were there, you would know exactly what I mean. If you weren’t there, then... Read more

Miracles at the Workplace? “The Holy Spirit is On Line Four” (Part 2)

Last updated on: May 31, 2009 at 2:51 pm By JBW

Continued from previous post I have gotten about half-way through reading the Acts of the Apostles, and am quite captivated by the stories. Acts is chock-full of miracles and supernatural events. There are plenty of healings, raising people from the dead, (as well as some unfortunate souls who are struck dead), angelic visits, dramatic rescues, Visions, foretellings of things to come, and even an incidence of teleporting. To be honest, the teleporting thing really gives me a renewed appreciation for reading... Read more
