Personal Goals
To track my progress, I’ll post these here and keep them updated…
- Graduate with my MBA
- Develop a leadership philosophy
- Draw a self portrait that someone else can recognize as me
- Mix music that my best friend will say, “that sounds good”
- Complete project harmony at work
- Develop a metrics program at HID that changes the way the executive team makes decisions
- Blog 50 times (edited: originally 365 times – what was i thinking???)
- Play 5 songs from memory on my keyboard of medium difficulty
- Leave the country 5 times per year, 2 of which are to places I haven’t been before
- Get to San Francisco 3 times per year
- Start a mini company (meaning, a company that isn’t grand in scale that can either help someone or generate a little income)
- Develop a basic website with beginner programming skills
- Continue to love unconditionally
- Be there when I’m needed most

Wow, this is a very inspirational list, Adam. What’s project harmony?

project harmony is an HID global project to improve consistency of information globally. basic goal is to improve management reporting, if that makes sense.
thanks for the comment!
