Birds of a feather flock together...How your friends make you fat.

If birds of a feather flock together, then what does your group of closest friends say about you? Well, a study published by the New England Journal of Medicine funded by the National Institute on Aging says your friends are getting you fat and obesity is "socially contagious". I'll explain...

We've all been under the peer pressure of making healthy choices when with a group of friends for the night. It happens at home when watching a movie, the restaurant when discussing business, and the bar… Continue

Pillars of Success????

I was recently asked by a close friend, "how do you do it?", "How are you so successful?", "How do you have time?", "How do you juggle it all and measure success?" When asked these questions and others I smiled, shrugged my shoulders and gave the simple answer, "I don't know". After my reply, I recognized my selfishness and noticed the frustration on my friends face. I realized this wasn't a person only acknowledging my success and complimenting me, but a friend venting and looking for guidance.… Continue

Influence That Matters

In these times of social media and personal branding, influencing people’s time, effort and attention can be instant.

We actively choose who our clients and partners will be. We select whom to let into our intimate circle of friends, those whom we will offer unwavering trust and support. Finally, we pick… Continue

Caring...for a Successful Onboarding

Onboarding...the integration of a new-hire into an organization as quickly, efficiently and as successful as possible. This typically includes the initial orientation process and the next few months or however long it takes to get a new employee “up to speed” within the company or discipline. This technique when done well can be extremely valuable to an organization, however many businesses fail to reach their full potential largely in-part of their onboarding deficiencies. This is unfortunate,… Continue

Leadership during change

The only thing that's consistent is change. We've heard it a number of times. There has always been change and there will always be, but we are living in times of unprecedented, unexpected and unknown change. Change often creates turbulent emotions with intense lows filled with increased stress and anxiety. Management and employees feel the stress when change brings increased performance expectations and job responsibility, possible pay cuts and even job loss. This can have and affect not only o… Continue

Hey Brandon,

How is everything? Any new developments?

I really want to get together and talk about it. A-ha moments, etc. :-)
Are you going to go through Level 2? I'm sorry I couldn't be there for your graduation. WNMEX was rehearsing for our show next week at the Melody Inn, and we were blowing up power amps and things....good times. :-)
You should come. I'll email you a flyer. But still, REALLY need to get together.
My friend, Simon, went through too, and I told him to look for you, but he said there were really alot of people going through.

Help

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
