As I get ready to ramp up for the second season of “Reality Check with Craig Price” I wanted to spotlight a cause that is very close to one of my past guests, Thom Singer.

The 5th Annual Kate Singer Endowment Fundraiser

Thank you for participating in this fundraiser! Small amounts add up, and any amount you give will assist the research for children born with cranio-facial abnormalities. This is the 5th annual fundraiser our family has hosted, and we appreciate your support!!!

Kate is turning ten-years-old and we are celebrating with a fundraiser for Dell Children’s Medical Center. Kate was born with Sagital Synostosis, a condition that caused the bones in her head to fuse together. To correct this situation she underwent surgery to reconstruct her skull. We were fortunate, today Kate is fabulous. She is smart, funny, enjoys school, and brings a smile to all who know her. When she was born there was not a state-of-the-art medical facility for children in Austin, Texas. She was treated by wonderful doctors at Children’s Hospital of San Diego. Since that time a new hospital has opened in Central Texas, and for the past five years we have supported the research efforts of these local doctors with the “Kate Singer Endowment for Cranio-Facial Surgery and Research” (In 2010 we began donating to a similar fund in San Diego). We donate part of the fees Thom earns as a professional speaker, and each year on Kate’s birthday we host this fundraiser. Please join us by making a donation of any size. Thank you, Thom, Sara, Jackie and Kate Singer

Listen to Thom talk publishing but more importantly, donate to this worthy cause.

Ending Our Obsession with Positive Thinking

January 16, 2012

The “Power of Positive Thinking” has been sold and marketed so much it’s been widely accepted as the way people “should” behave, think or act. Sadly, the truth behind the value of negative thoughts and emotions has been driven into the shadows, to be ignored and avoided. Thankfully, more and more people are coming to [...]

Demotivationally Speaking

January 12, 2012

Motivation is always a hot topic for speakers, corporate leaders and managers alike. People look for new techniques on how to inspire, engage and otherwise influence employees. But rarely is the most obvious issue discussed: ‘What’s demotivating our people?’ Every person starts out a new job or position bubbling with energy. They’ve got ideas they [...]

Does Attitude Effect Wellbeing?

January 4, 2012

One of the biggest thing that really gets my goat (for the record I do not own a goat) is people who insist on believing (and it’s not the believing part, but the insistence on telling other people) that a positive attitude can cure all their ills. It’s just not true. The condescension of positivity [...]
