Now and then I tell myself that I might be on to something a bit new, and this month I am happy to say that the new issue of FirstCuts is the start of a mission I have taken up, which is to eliminate all the crazy habits that have arisen around smartphones (Blackberrys, iPhones, Androids, etc.)

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, check out this month’s issue, in either text or audio form. If you are a smartphone user, prepare yourself for something a bit different…!

Read my two articles that appeared today and learn why Jamaican business-people need to pay very close attention to the latest political developments in the twin-island republic.

Here is my letter to the editor of the Jamaica Gleaner that was awarded “Letter of the Day.”

The Weekly Review Video

Recently I took on a pretty difficult topic — how to fix the weekly review that is the cornerstone of so many time management systems.

The result was a video that is well over 20 minutes long, that has apparently upset some of the established thinking. I published it over at my time management blog: 2Time: Time Management 2.0

A Recent TV Interview

Back in September, I was interviewed by Aldo Owen of Businessuite… long before I became his co-host on Bess100FM’s Businessuite Today.

We discussed the topic of corporate culture here in the Caribbean, and I gave my views on whether or not culture can be changed.

New Radio Program

francis — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 20:42:02 +0000

Good news! I now have the pleasure of co-hosting a fairly new radio program here in Jamaica, on BESS FM – 100.1.

It’s a business program, and I got off the mark on February 1st with a focus on the topic of the acquisition of Air Jamaica by Caribbean Airlines.

I’ll be working for a while with Aldo Owen, who is working alongside me while I develop some of the skills needed to be a good radio host.

Anyone can tune in to the show at http://bessfm.com and hear it from 5pm-7pm when it’s live on the air and internet. Both the audio and video of the control booth are on the site, and now and then we interact with our listeners via the chat room.

Before I came on the station, I did do a few guest appearances. Here is an 11 minute recording of a radio interview I did in late 2009 on the topic of corporate culture.
