Solving Problems in Strategic Planning and Productivity
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.
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.
After a lot of work, MyTimeDesign is now available to the general public.

It offers a 16 program that takes you through a process of upgrading your time management system, while showing you how you can keep on doing so for the rest of your working career.
I have just launched a series of new videos on Time Management over at my blog. They cover the Top 10 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) About Time Management, and plus the Top 10 Questions that People Should be Asking (SAQ’s) About Time Management.
They are immediately available for the price of free registration.

FAQ #1: Why should I care about time management? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVkLQF99C2Y
I recently decided to close out my ebook The New Networking: Caribbean 2008 at the end of the year, in order to make way for some new ideas and a new e-book at some point.
While I don’t plan to write its successor anytime soon, I recall discovering Facebook just as the ebook was about to be released, and having to “wheel and come again” with a section devoted to that social networking tool. Of course, today Facebook has been supplemented with Twitter… how things change!
Here is the link to the ebook if you don’t have it. Please pass this information on to your friends also — this will be their last chance to receive the ebook from me: The New Networking: Caribbean 2008 http://fwconsulting.com/newnetworking
In the most recent issue of FirstCuts I try to answer a dilemma I have had — why are Caribbean companies not using the internet more effectively?
In the past month, I have scheduled my once-a-year time management programmes in Jamaica and Trinidad. Both will happen in January 2010. For updates, send email to [email protected].
Also, I have produced a variety of time management publications that have generated a great deal of interest, with a variety of products that are available for free.
The e-book “The 6 Surprising Mistakes that GTD’ers Make” has been released (GTD is short for Getting Things Done) and is available as a free download by clicking here. When you get your e-book, you’ll also receive directions to an audio version, plus a 6-part video series that will only help to make the task of learning to avoid the mistakes a bit easier.
Also, I published an article on the Stepcase Lifehack website entitled “Scoring 100% in Time Management” that I recommend for anyone who thinks that they must implement ALL parts of any new system they discover. The post can be read by clicking here.

An article covering the work that Framework does was recently covered by a Jamaican columnist Jean Lowrie-Chin.
An interesting event is being conducted on October 29th at the University of the West Indies, Mona campus. (Update: the second version of the event will be conducted on Nov16th.)
I’ll be part of a panel that will take questions from the floor in what looks like an intense session that I think is going to be exciting evening. it’s also planned as the first of several opportunities for ideas to be shared in a variety of open forums, located at UWI.
