The Corporate Radical Project

Fearless Presentations


So we've all heard the statistics around how many people fear public speaking more than death. I don't fear public speaking... But I used to. I started doing something that was more fearful to me

I'm re-reading Seth Godin's book; Linchpin. Lots of my writing has been inspired by Godin's books, like this one on stepping outside of your comfort zone. Upon my second read, awareness of the

Don't Forget the Milk!


In our last post on remember the milk best practices I walked through how I had adapted the GTD context principles to RTM. In this post we're looking at how we use Remember The Milk's priority

Fight For It


We've all sat in meetings where nothing got accomplished because the person who held the real power wasn't in the room. Nothing gets decided because no individual in that room is willing to take

Stick Your Neck Out

Neck Tattoo

It puts you at risk; your credibility, your job, your future. It puts you at risk of losing these three things. So why do it? Why put some of the most important things in your life at risk? Because they won’t change unless you do. Your credibility will never improve if you don’t take the risk, your career will never progress if you don’t take the risk, and your future will never become reality if you don’t stick your neck …

No Comment…

  With the relaunch of this project I removed the commenting functionality of this website. I made this change for one important reason… You, like me, are a do-er. This project’s most loyal followers are in the business of getting things done, that really matter…  And frankly, blog comments don’t really matter. Sure, I received a fair amount of comments (mainly from other bloggers), but the core audience of this site wasn’t commenting. I’m the same way… On an given …

  After a 3 month hiatus from any writing… I’m back. Re-energized with new ideas, a renewed focus, and big plans for The Corporate Radical Project. Yes, this is a relaunch post… And I’ve answered four of the most important questions I received during my time away. Why haven’t you been writing? Burn out. The original focus of Corporate Radical was to make money, but that pulled me in a direction that I didn’t always feel good about. It required …

Radical Customer Service via Market Samurai

Market Samurai

So a big part of my blogging gig is to drive traffic to this website. Part of that process is defining the specific keywords and phrases that you, the reader, will be searching for to find this type of content. My favorite tool for this purpose is Market Samurai, and I use it often… But we aren’t talking about the tool here, you can find out about them on their website. Here we’re talking about unsolicited customer service. So Market …

Farmers Have The Best Web Strategy

Farming Web Strategy

Farmers and internet marketers… Not often used in the same sentence. Imagine, a farmer tills thousands of acres of land, seeds that thousands of acres, makes sure the seedlings get the nutrients and water they need to grow. Then the farmer gets impatient, the seedlings aren’t sprouting like he wanted them to, so he rips up the ground and plants something new… Without ever giving enough time to realize the full yield of what he spent so much time working …

I’m re-reading Seth Godin’s book; Linchpin. Lots of my writing has been inspired by Godin’s books, like this one on stepping outside of your comfort zone. Upon my second read, awareness of the lizard brain has become even more intense… It’s rampant, but it’s because the lizard brain is sneaky. Read on to learn why and what to do about it. For those of you who haven’t read the book, the Lizard brain is that dominating voice inside your head …

Corporations Don’t Like Change… Really?

Posted on by Zack Pike in Innovation, Leadership, Strategy | Comments Off
Change Blue Button

I like change… I’m a Gen Y’er and as many of you know we’re more interested in change than most. I understand the “If it aint broke, don’t fix it” mentality but look at the business world over the past 10 years and you’ll see hundreds of examples of companies that didn’t change and got left in the dust (as well as companies that did change and are famous for it). We should always be in pursuit of change… This doesn’t …

Social Media Revolution, Join Us!

No… This is not another post like the 30 you’ve seen fed into your RSS reader this morning from other blogs on social media… This one’s different, this one is about the revolution. I face two major issues when it comes to social media marketing and strategy discussions. I take the numbers and the WOW-factor of social media for granted. Because of this, I often find it difficult to get senior leaders at a company (often older generation) to fully …

Google Voice for Voicemail

I’ve been meaning to write a post about all the ways you can leverage Google Voice in your organization, but someone beat me to the punch!  Charles Hamilton posted a great article on 5 creative ways to use Google Voice. He has some great ideas, but I wanted to dive a bit deeper into one big use that can truly make you look like a superstar.  I can hear you saying now “I’m never at my desk, and religiously check …
