shift your paradigm

By Jason L. Colon 0 Comments

Categories: Leadership, Personal Development and Business Tags: Business, Leadership, Personal Development.

I recently listened to a CD audio book titled Leadership and Self Deception: Getting Out of the Box by the Arbinger Institute. Preview the book here.

This book fundamentally changed the way I see my relationships and the world. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to gain a new perspective on things and enhance their interpersonal skills.

The extent to which self-deception is the central issue in leadership is the subject of the book.

For example:
As a leader, if your self-deception is that you believe that you know everything, you’re highly unlikely to accept new ideas from others. Furthermore, you will continually work to justify your position that you know everything. This means that you will invite the failure of others because their failure further justifies your position as a know-it-all.

Here’s the kicker - you’re not aware of your self-deception. You’ve probably had it for years. Your view of things is skewed and you have no idea that YOU’RE the problem.

Consider the following analogy from the book:

An infant is learning to crawl. She begins by pushing herself backward around the house.

Backing herself around, she gets lodged beneath the furniture. There she thrashes about; crying and banging her little head against the sides and undersides of the pieces.

The Proper Perspective is Everything

There’s an old story about a Navy warship that was heading through the fog one night when a distant faint light appear directly in their heading.

As they continued, it got brighter and the captain walked to the helm to evaluate the situation.

About that time, a voice came over the radio and said, “ATTENTION…Calling the vessel traveling 17 knots on a 220 heading adjust your course 30 degrees immediately.”

The captain got on the radio and responded, “This is the vessel on the 220 heading. You adjust YOUR course 30 degrees.”

“NEGATIVE captain…YOU adjust,” was the reply.

“I am an Admiral in the United States Navy,” said the commander, “Who am I speaking to?”

“I am an Ensign in the U.S. Coast Guard, Sir.”

“Then I suggest YOU adjust YOUR course.”

“No, Sir, I suggest you adjust YOURS.”

“WE are a U.S. Navy Warship,” said the Admiral, “YOU adjust.”

“We are a lighthouse,” said the Ensign.

SharePoint, Lotus Notes, and the Invalid URL

By Jason L. Colon 2 Comments

Categories: SharePoint, Lotus Notes and Technology Tags: lotus notes, SharePoint, Technology.

I recently ran into an issue when trying to create a link in SharePoint to a Lotus Notes document. The same is true for SharePoint links to both Lotus Notes servers and databases.

SharePoint treats the Lotus Notes link as an Invalid URL because of the nonstandard Notes://servername format.

The following is a workaround that will allow you to add links to Notes using the Notes:// URL.

Create an HTML file with a link to the Lotus Notes Document/Database.
Upload the HTML file to your SharePoint site’s Shared Documents repository.
Click the HTML file in the Shared Documents repository to view it and make note of the file’s URL. I recommend that you highlight and copy the URL.
Add the “Page Viewer Web Part” to the SharePoint site’s Web Part Gallery.
Site Actions > Site Settings > Web Parts > New >
Edit the Home page of the SharePoint site.
Site Actions > Edit Page
Add the “Page Viewer Web Part” to the home page.
Add a Web Part > PageViewWebPart
Add the HTML file’s URL to the Web Part Properties. Paste the URL you copied in Step 3 above.
Edit > Modify Shared Web Part > Enter the URL
Exit Edit Mode

Clicking your new link should take you directly to the Lotus Notes Server, Database, or Document.

SharePoint is a terrific platform for information sharing and team collaboration. Notes integration makes it even better.

flip this domain

By Jason L. Colon 0 Comments

Categories: Technology Tags: domain sale, Technology.

I had a mental lapse a few weeks ago and registered one million website domain names!

Actually it was more like 60 domain names, but who’s counting? You can view the list here.

I came across a domain appraisal website that was WAY off on its appraisals.

Anyway, I sold my first domain name recently for a nice profit. The domain name was MAILMOJO.COM. Sedo.com handled the entire deal so it was pretty painless.

Feel free to make me an offer on any of the others.

Changing desktop email applications isn’t difficult…unless, of course, you:

A. Use a smartphone.
B. Sync your smartphone’s address book with your email client.
C. Move from Microsoft Outlook to Lotus Notes.

Unfortunately, there’s no easy way to move your Outlook contacts to Notes.

Thank you Kent State University Helpdesk!

There’s a coming leadership void in the United States. In the year 2016, approximately 5 million baby boomers will be retiring. It’s estimated that another 5 million will retire each year after that until the year 2030.

That’s 75 million retired baby boomers by the year 2030.

Young business professionals should begin preparing now by developing a lasting personal brand.
