		<description><![CDATA[I was the closing keynote speaker at an event recently, and, as I typically do, I sat in on the presentations prior to mine.

The line that caught my eye in the article was the mention of having to consult before making a final decision&#8211;not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a high-energy &#8220;motivational speaker&#8221; (and I put that in quotes because I really do dislike that term) I sometimes get asked by my clients to deliver the following message to their employees: &#8220;Tell them what a great organization we are and how much we (we being the senior management team) care about them.&#8221; And whenever [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I enjoyed watching the last episode of CBC&#8217;s Marketplace, wherein they went hunting for Canada&#8217;s worst customer service.  The reason I suspect that I&#8217;m not the only one who enjoys watching these shows is partly the same reason we all rubberneck at a car accident, and partly because we can all relate.
