The Best Way to Deal With Global Warming--Drink Water

Composed in Akron, Ohio-

The only time I read the USA Today newspaper is when I'm staying in a hotel.  That's because many hotels deliver the paper to my room.  The paper is "free" to me and unfortunately, that's often what the daily news is worth. 

The July 15 issue of USA Today had a feature story about how global warming could trigger a rise in kidney stones.  The article seems to be written to alarm readers.  You need to worry about getting kidney stones!  You need to worry about global warming!  You need to  . . . worry! 

Well, as you know, worrying never solves anything.  If global warming is a natural phenomena, there's little, if anything, humankind can do to prevent it.  As for the threat of kidney stones, I'll give you the same advice I'd have given you before the article was printed:  Drink more water.

The media has not been a good role model for my businesses.  Many companies worry about high employee turnover, but they don't correct bad hiring practices.  Sales managers fret about low revenue, but continue to provide inadequate sales training.  Company presidents can't figure out why employees don't listen as the leaders continue to give the same tired speeches. 

Problem solving has never been easier, but first one has to focus on the issue, rather than the distractions.  I teach businesses how to communicate better, specifically by hiring smart and giving stronger sales presentations.  I'm never going to be out of work.
