Are you ready to “see” more?

by Jason Womack July 7, 2010

I watch a TED talk or two each day. Sometimes, a short one…Other times a long one. Either way, for 3-25 minutes each day I’m informed, inspired and encouraged to give more, learn more and work more.

When I speak in front of groups, around the world, my seminars generally…

Parents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and…babysitters: Summer plans?

by Jason Womack June 21, 2010

I met Joe Bruzzese the very year (2000) I stopped teaching at Nordhoff High School. Over the years, we have collaborated on projects, spoken from the same stage, written articles, and dreamed bigger and bigger about what’s possible. Now, with his book a middle (and high school!) phenomenon (A Parents’…

our own amusement park…just up the road

by Jason Womack June 14, 2010

Just the other day, Memorial Day in fact, was a full day…friends, travel and fun.

The morning started off with a visit in Menlo Park – a surprise meet-up with a group of folks reading our book, The Promise Doctrine. 7 hours (and a bit of traffic) later, we rolled into…

When you’re at work…

by Jason Womack May 29, 2010

…work!

Years ago, a mentor of mine gave me this advice over a lunch discussion. I remember we were talking about time management (I brought this problem to him because I saw it as my major issue in not producing what I had been intending to work on…).

At one point, Tim…

“What is that thing you do, try – a – thalon?”

Ojai Triathlon Group
Living, working and training in Ojai reminds me how fortunate I am.
Just this morning, three of us triathletes rode along Highway 33 from the “valley floor” up to the sign at Rose Valley. If you haven’t been up there recently, I highly recommend it. Along the way, I mentioned at…

Winning…What does the “mindset” mean?

by Jason Womack February 2, 2009

No, I’m not a “fan” in the traditional sense of the word (until Saturday I didn’t know EXACTLY who was playing in the 43rd Super Bowl).
Yes, I am interested in the terms “winning” and “losing.”
I remember in college I took a course on Social Psychology. There, I was introduced to…

Observing life outside Ojai

by Jason Womack January 6, 2008

It’s already 2008. Can anyone else remember thinking, way back when, “I wonder what it’s going to be like in 2000?” Well, here we are 8 years beyond, and my how things are different than what I could have ever imagined.
When I was in high school, and then in college,…

Why did you go there?

by Jason Womack November 11, 2007

I spent last week in Knoxville, TN (ok, actually a bit outside of Knoxville…in a town called Sevierville) and I’m back here in Ojai thinking of a few of my experiences while I was there.
The first morning I was there, I shared ideas with the local BNI Chapter called: Sevierville –…

Thank you Stacey and Kent

by Jason Womack October 5, 2007

So, I might be overstepping a line or two [everyone's going to have their favorite coffee shop!], but I want to talk briefly at one of the local businesses I frequent – the Ojai Coffee Roasting Company.

Known under various aliases such as:
The Coffee Shop, Stacey’s place, The Roaster, (or The Roasters),…

Do we know how big the world really is? The opportunity is there to make something happen…

by Jason Womack July 26, 2007

I had dinner last night and listened to Bobby Sager speak in Downtown Boston.
Bobby Sager and Jason Womack - after talking about Concrete Baby Steps
As an invited guest to speak for an international organization holding annual meetings here, I was able to “tag along” and join the evening soiree.
Mr. Sager is an amazing photographer; I saw a few of his photos. Each…
