“Many of us crucify ourselves between two thieves: regret for the past and fear of the future.” — Fulton Oursler
The other night I was having trouble sleeping, and as I lay awake in bed I started thinking about my program at A.T. Still University and that in another month or so I would be returning to it and my hiatus would be ...

We are currently in the middle of week 4 in Business Strategy and innovation.
As this class moves forward, we are becoming aware of systems and their ability to find and make order out of chaos. I am recalling times when I witnessed some of these things first-hand in my professional career. In a world in which change and chaos ...

I thought about quitting this week. But alas, I keep plowing forward. Up until this morning, I seemed to have lost my energy and desire to do this anymore. Do I really care one bit about business innovation and sustainability? Do I care to write one more paper analyzing my experiences and how they relate to other ...

One of the underlying themes of my MBA at Norwich and my DBA at Walden is to become a better person. Those programs teach us to embrace our educational achievements, to enhance our roles as managers and leaders, to become a better person all the way around.
I have been thinking a lot about this lately and how it relates to ...

“Run like hell and get the agony over with.” — Clarence DeMar
Last month, I wrote about my new running program. My goal was to progress steadily from being a complete couch potato to being able to run for thirty minutes straight over eighty days. The idea was that I would go out for thirty minutes, alternate between ...

Today marks the beginning of the final week in Foundations of Doctoral Studies. The class went by very fast. I am going to set aside a few days to go back over all the material. The class seemed to go by that fast. There was a lot to learn and this week is a wrap-up week where we reflect on what we have learned ...

Alright, one thing you must know about me is that I can go from empowering to just straight venting! Today, I'm going to vent eLearners! It's the 4th week of school...and I'm tired! My favorite show came on last night, the Real Housewives of Atlanta and I put everything else off to watch it (how dreadful). By ...

In the hip hop industry, it is perceived that "a boss" is a highly reputable entity in "the hood", he is mostly identified by the one with the most bling, women, cars, and lots and lots of cash. "A boss" is a common term that most hip hop and rap singers use to describe their superiority and ...

During the course of my research for the right degree program for me, I found that the Doctor of Business Administration program at Walden focuses on the application of theory rather than on the development of new theory. Being a manager in large corporations for the majority of my career, I felt that earning the D.B.A. would allow me to ...

We are starting week three in Foundations for Doctoral Business Administration. The class is indeed touching on some basics and we have not hit any “real meat” yet. However, I do believe that everything we are doing in this class is very important. Like the name of the course indicates, we are building a foundation ...

In my short time at Walden University, I can tell there is a strong sense of community. This is a critical support mechanism that helps on-line learners succeed and aids them in playing a role in something positive.
If there is one thing I have learned throughout my on-line learning experiences is that there is a strong sense ...

I saw that you have now begun to pursue your DBA at Walden. However, I was just curious as to what you intended to do with the degree as most colleges and universities don't hire full time professors with online degrees. Are you planning to use it to become an adjunct professor? Before you put the time and money into the ...

“We may brave human laws, but we cannot resist natural ones.” — Jules Verne
Working parents who go back to school have a lot of demands on their time, and often personal fitness is one of the things that falls by the wayside. When you have a bunch of kids around, a boss to please, and you're running out of time to ...

“Of course I'm crazy, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong.” – Robert Anton Wilson
The Doctor of Health Education at A.T. Still University consists of alternating semesters. First you take two normal three semester-hour courses, and then you take a three semester-hour course and a seven semester-hour ...

“Give me a stock clerk with a goal and I'll give you a man who will make history. Give me a man with no goals and I'll give you a stock clerk.” – J.C. Penney
It occurs to me that I may want to elaborate a little on why talking about personal goals is so important when explaining why I chose the program at A.T. Still ...

“First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.” – Epictetus
I was recently asked, “I read about the Doctor of Health Ed and agree it sounds like an interesting program. What do you plan on doing with this degree and do you see this degree as interchangeable with an EdD for your future ...
