Nigel Marsh has experienced, and successfully navigated, enormous change in both his personal life and business. In both these areas Nigel approached the situation with positivity and a light touch, turning disaster into considerable sustained success. Nigel speaks on subjects of Leadership, Work Life Balance, Creativity, Risk and Purpose. In the process he has also become a sought after expert in how to manage change - especially when that change is forced and initially unwelcome. Nigel doesn't indulge in guru speak or abstract leadership theory - instead he draws upon his hard won experience and natural story telling talent to deliver his universally appealing messages with authenticity, passion, intelligence and good humour.
Nigel Marsh has spent 30 years working with, and for, a multitude of the world's leading brands. This has given him experience in producing marketing campaigns and strategic advice for almost every category of business and organisation imaginable. Combined with the unintended personal research survey of 30,000+ reader emails this gives Nigel a unique, and powerful, perspective on business and life. As the CEO of strategic consultancy W82nd he advises leaders on how to best develop, articulate and embed a compelling purpose throughout their organisations. He is also a sought after speaker in America, Europe and Australia.
Nigel is a generalist who's given highly successful keynotes to a vast variety of audiences worldwide - be it horse vets in Texas, lawyers in Los Angeles, bankers in Las Vegas, nurses in Wagga Wagga or government officials in Perth. The key to his broad appeal as a speaker is the enjoyable non-threatening way he has of challenging his audiences and leaving them with actionable suggestions on how to get more out of life. Audiences are guaranteed an amusing, thought provoking relevant hour whatever their specific industry. At conferences Nigel specialises in talking to 'cynical' audiences, lightening the mood and broadening the topic. He is often asked to set the tone by opening or closing an event.
Nigel wears a number of different hats apart from his consulting and speaking work. He is busy; writing his fourth book for Penguin; interviewing celebrities for his Five Of My Life podcast series; developing his first book for the big screen and; running The Sydney Skinny.
Nigel gave a truly wonderful presentation - heartfelt, thought provoking and challenging. His theme and tone really hit the mark and enabled us to conclude the conference in a great fashion. B

ELBA — This spring would have marked Elba senior Lauryn Engle's 10th varsity season between her seasons with the Lancers softball and basketball teams and her time with the Oakfield-Alabama/Elba volleyball team.
And after all these years she was finally the upper-statesman for the Lancers — she was the only senior on another Elba hoops title team in the winter and she would have been the only senior on the Lancers' softball team, had there been a season. She was one of a number of seniors on the volleyball court, but only one of two from Elba.
This spring certainly brought a second dose of bad news for Engle and her Elba teammates. After seeing the basketball season cut short before the Far West Regional because of COVID-19, she was looking forward to this final season of her stellar high school career, only to see it taken away before it could begin.
"Not being able to have a shot at States for basketball when I knew we had an extremely good chance at it my senior year sucked," Engle said. "We all worked so hard only for it to be cut short one day coming to practice. We all thought we would just have to play our games without spectators but when our shot at States was taken away and the last of my senior basketball season was taken away from me I had no idea how to feel. We all sat in the gym and cried and hugged for what felt like forever."
Then came the second disappointment of her final high school year.
"When I found out that my last ever softball season was being taken away I felt as if the world was against me," Engle added. "I always knew that my senior softball season would be sad but I did not think I wouldn't ever step on our field again wearing an Elba jersey. Lots of tears were shed but all I can think about is that I still have college softball and to make new friends and play the sport I love."
Signed to play softball at Alfred State next year as a freshman, Engle has been a part of a great run while at Elba for girls athletics.
As she was about to enter her fifth varsity campaign on the dirt diamond, Engle was a part of the 2017 sectional-winning softball team, one that made a little bit of history, whether or not it was a pleasant history.
Midway through the season the Lancers' then-head coach Steve Chiocco was dismissed from his duties, leading to then athletic director Karen Cusmano finishing the season in the dugout.
Elba didn't miss a beat and rolled through the Class D2 tournament for the block before avenging a late-season loss to Lyndonville in the state qualifier game; the Lancers' run would eventually end at the hands of North Collins in the Far West Regional.
In her first of three Genesee Region League All-Star seasons, Engle — a catcher — batted .306 with four doubles, one triple, a home run, 14 runs batted in, 15 walks and seven stolen bases.
And she just kept getting better.
In her sophomore season she hit .393 with a team-best six triples and 22 RBIs, while she also added two home runs and one double, while swiping four bases and producing a .500 on base average. Behind the dish she had a .951 fielding percentage along with 123 putouts, 14 assists and also threw out 12 runners trying to steal.
Last spring she was simply outstanding as she led the Lancers with a .510 batting average to go with an on-base percentage of .586, five doubles, one triple, 24 RBIs and six walks, to go with a .987 fielding percentage.
Majoring in Vet Tech, Engle is absolutely exited to finally be getting back on the field.
"I am really looking forward to continuing to play softball at the collegiate level as it's always been a dream of mine," she said. "My love for animals has always been an important part of my life and something I've wanted to do from the time I was a little girl was help take care of them. So this helped me make my decision to go to Alfred State as the Vet program they have is nationally ranked. So it doesn't get any better, I get to play college softball and get my college degree for Vet tech and go on if I decide to."
On the basketball court, Engle was a part of Elba's four straight Section V Class D2 title and this season she earned her first GR All-Star selection for the 22-2 Lancers, who got by upstart Pavilion in the Class D state qualifier to advance to their third straight Far West Regional final.
Engle had a solid senior year averaging 11 points and seven rebounds per game, while she also connected on 66 3-pointers for the season.
A main contributor the last three seasons, Engle was a part of Elba teams that went a combined 65-8 to continue their run as the top Class D team in Section V.
"Elba sports have given me so many amazing memories, many of which consist of winning five sectional titles throughout my high school career, four during basketball and one during softball," Engle said. "Being surrounded by such an awesome community and winning four consecutive basketball sectional titles and making it to the Far West Regionals three years in a row is something I will always remember. Winning sectionals in 2017 for softball is a memory that I will never forget and I believe that this season, my senior softball season, we could have made a good run at sectionals."
Along the way, Engle — who will graduate fifth in her class and is a three-year National Honor Society member — has had a number of coaches who have impacted her along the way.
Starting with her father, who coached her until she was 12, to a catching coach she went to when she was 12, to Chiocco — "who impacted me the most out of the five years I have played Elba softball. He always believed in me and in my first year on varsity as an eighth grader he knew he could count on me to step in for our teams starting catcher due to an injury. He always pushed me to be my best and always gave the best advice no matter the situation, he's been such a huge part of my softball career and always will be."
There was then Cusmano and Regis Pollard, as well as Tom and Marci Redband and Kenzie Bezon in hoops ... so many talented coaches, so little time. Engle has been aided by each and every one in numerous ways.
And even though it is all ending in a way that no one would have expected, Engle will always fondly recall what it meant to be an Elba Lancer.
"The memories and experiences playing sports at Elba has given me so much to look back on and to appreciate everything, even if my senior year got taken away from me," she said. "I will always cherish the friendships and opportunities Elba sports have given me and if I could leave anything to the kids coming up on their senior year, enjoy it, take in each day because it can be taken away before you know it."

Bon Jovi at Giants Stadium
My friends' band (Hey Tiger) opened up for Bon Jovi. This band had the sold-out crowd in the palm of their hands. It was fun to photograph them as well- I was shooting outside of my typical rock genre.
Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora put together the Have a Nice Gig contest (www.xmradio.com/bonjovibands/ballot.jsp) to provide opportunities for local bands to take the next step (leap!).

A Time Of Worship
It is no secret that we are living in a very different time as many Churches are not having in person worship opportunities. For some this has changed the way they spend their Sunday mornings, nevertheless we should not forget that this is our sabbath. There are times when we use our Sundays for our day of finishing things we didn't get done on the other days of week. Sunday becomes a day when the shopping has to get done, and we feel we have to get things we need done for the kids and the house, and before we know it those things become the focal point of our Sunday. It becomes a day for washing the car and doing yard work. The Scripture reminds us that, Sabbath is the day of the Lord. I encourage you today to use this day for worship and giving God praise and the honor for being your God. We work all week long, and many times they are very long hours even in this virtual setting making sure our job gets done. Spend some time on Sunday giving God the thanks for the way He has seen you through the week. God is good to you and as He continues to watch over you day and night, be thankful for the many blessings He pours into your life. The things you go through during the week you would have never make it out of, if The Lord was not watching over you. I know you may be tired and had a long weekend already, but isn't The Lord worthy of some of your time? Can't you give the Lord a few hours today? I will spend some time in worship and praise with the Lord every day and since I will praise Him I know without a doubt, "It's My Year To Get My Thing From My God!"
Lord thank you for blessing my life and allowing me to see another day that I can worship and praise you. In Jesus Name Amen.
Be Inspired,
Rev. Dr. Stephen W. Pogue, Pastor
Greater Centennial A.M.E. Zion Church
Mount Vernon, NY

Anyone still use the Art SGX 2000?
EdgeOfDarkness posted a topic in AmpsI just picked one up with the controller. I've been wanting one since 1992 but never had the $900 for it. I got it with controller for $175. Any tips and tricks for me? I see sweetwater has a cool write up about it. When the product designers at A.R.T. were asked to build what they considered to be the ultimate guitar preamp/processor, they decided to pull out all the stops. The net result is the SGX 2000 Express, and for sheer overwhelming processing power, this unit will cause even the most jaded guitar players to sit up and take notice. Carrying a list price of $849, the SGX combines a state-of-the-art preamp with a straightforward user interface and all the analog and digital multieffects routings you could ever imagine. When designing the 2000 Express, ART's engineers researched and designed a tube preamp circuit that they felt rivalled the best vintage tube amps, resulting in a sound that breathes the way only a tube amp can. In fact, the 2000 Express offers eight variations of tube, as well as solid-state circuits, each of which have their own unique sound. A Tube Contour control located on the front panel adjusts the tube's tonal characteristics. With the programmable preamp feature, there's no need to use a speaker simulator or any other "black box" when running the SGX directly into a console since the preamp design is so precise, you'll swear the guitar is miked. Analog effects can be used individually or simultaneously in any preset and all analog effects are completely programmable and independent of each other. Analog effects include: compression, expansion, distortion, exciter, envelope filter, noise gate, 7-band graphic EQ, effects crossover and programmable level. Distortion types include: turbo tubes, psycho tubes, overdrive stack, jazz tubes, solid state, solid warm, tube clean and tube stack. What's more, the SGX 2000 also offers unparalleled 24-bit digital effects including (let's take a deep breath): 21 digital reverbs, 12 gated reverbs, acoustic environment simulator (very cool!), flanger, chorus, stereo digital delay plus 21 other delay types (like echo and multitap), pitch shift, tremolo, phaser, panner, sampler and much more. Unlike other processors which limit you to a specific, predetermined number of effects chains, the SGX accomplishes preset construction by addition or deletion of individual effects. After adding an effect, the processor displays the remaining effects available for use in that preset. Take our word for it, the SGX Express is one of the most user-friendly devices you've ever worked with. There are a whopping 200 memory locations available in the 2000 Express, plus 475 factory presets retained in four memory banks, so you'll never run out of fresh sounds. There's even a programmable patchbay for controlling the two effects loops and, of course, comprehensive MIDI implementation. The list goes on and on. Space limitations prevent us from publishing a complete list of every SGX feature, but by now we're sure you get the idea. For bass players, A.R.T. offers the SGX Nightbass Studio Edition ($849 list), plus a slightly scaled down version of the 2000 Express, the SGX Nitro ($629 list). Play guitar? Then odds are good that you'll want to know more about these over-the-top processors from A.R.T., so call Sweetwater today for more information and your very special pricing on these astounding units!

Why technology and automation means operations teams need new skills
Luke Venables, Chief Operating Officer at Venn Partners explains why modern ops teams need to be technologically savvy and why identifying the right challenges is key for keeping staff engaged.
Fund Operator POSTED ON 5/1/2020 7:39:00 PM
Fund Operator: How can you ensure that you can retain the talent in your teams as new technology is being introduced?
How do you get new team members to understand and embrace the technology day-to-day?
Luke Venables: It isn't just about understanding your technology. We all interact with other people's platforms and invariably find fault with them. For example, we use mortgage servicing agents who generally have basic, clunky and old technology.
So, I have a member of my team looking at this in conjunction with our technology people, working out what is going wrong. You need operations people who are interested in technology.
"We all interact with other people's platforms and invariably find fault with them."
Operations staff used to be about ticking boxes, but now they are expected to delve into data and pick out things that are wrong. This is classic operations; reconciliations are the basis of this process and so they should really enjoy this aspect of it.
Then there is the harder bit, of how to fix the problems, and what that means for the data and the risk management piece. We rely on people at the coalface to highlight issues to us and then work with technology to come up with solutions.
This has to be part of the day-to-day, which may be easier in my current situation because I am hiring a new team rather than using an incumbent one.
"Operations staff used to be about ticking boxes, but now they are expected to delve into data and pick out things that are wrong."
It's harder when you have an old team and you are telling them that you will automate their job, but it just comes down to how well people embrace technology.
People talk about how we should have everyone coding. Whilst some people do like it and may be more suited to technology, operations people are traditionally interested in the business as well as technology.
I am not necessarily looking for coders, but they have to at least be able to understand a table structure and the logic of what is going on. This will help them to be able to fix the problems.
Talent retention is a constant battle and it is devastating when someone you train up leaves, but this is a risk that we run with everything.
It is about trying to find challenges that are right for people.
"Talent retention is a constant battle and it is devastating when someone you train up leaves"
Smaller firms can have a limited range of challenges for people, which unfortunately means that they sometimes do move on.
At least for the time they are there they have learnt something and added to the team dynamics, which are very important as well. Each person should bring their unique skill sets and need to be someone that the rest of the team can bounce off.
I hope we will develop new technologies within the industry because part of the benefit of technology is disintermediation.
And although fund managers get made redundant by robots, you will still need operations people to control and design them. There is a lot to do and the fintech industry will mean that within this we will inevitably lose some people along the way.

The Positive Benefits of installing a Fountain in Your Living AreaThe Positive Benefits of installing a Fountain in Your Living Area The area outside your residence can be enhanced by adding a wall or a garden fountain to your landscaping or garden project. Many modern designers and artisans have been inspired by historical fountains and water features. You can also strengthen the link to the past by including one of these to your home's interior design. Among the many attributes of these beautiful garden fountains is the water and moisture they discharge into the air which attracts birds and other wild life as well as helps to balance the ecosystem. For instance, irritating flying insects are usually discouraged by the birds attracted to the fountain or birdbath.
Wall fountains are a good choice if your yard is small because they do not require much space as compared to a spouting or cascading fountain. Two possibilities to pick from include either a freestanding type with an even back set against a fence or wall in your garden, or a wall-mounted, self-contained type which is suspended on a wall. Be sure to include a fountain mask to an existing wall and a basin to collect the water at the bottom if you wish to add a fountain to your living area. The plumbing and masonry work necessary for this kind of job requires know-how, so it is best to hire a skilled person rather than go at it yourself.
The Broad Array of Outdoor Wall Water FountainsThe Broad Array of Outdoor Wall Water Fountains Putting a wall fountain in your backyard or patio is ideal when you want to unwind. Moreover, it can be designed to fit into any wall space since it does not need much room. The necessary elements include a spout, a water basin, internal tubing, and a pump regardless of whether it is freestanding or anchored. There are any variety of models to choose from such as conventional, contemporary, classic, or Asian.
Also referred to as a floor fountain, a stand-alone wall fountain is normally rather big, and its basin is located on the ground.
On the other hand, a water feature attached to a wall can be incorporated onto an existing wall or fit into a new wall. This type of fountain contributes to a cohesive look making it seem as if it was part of the landscape rather than an added feature.
Look at the Perks of an Interior Wall Water FountainLook at the Perks of an Interior Wall Water Fountain Hospitals and health care facilities have been using interior fountains to create tranquil, stress-free environments for many years now. People are entranced by the soothing sounds of softly moving water which can produce a state of internal reflection.
In addition, convalescence is believed to go faster when indoor water features are used in therapy. A number of illnesses are thought to improve with their use, as such they are suggested by physicians and mental health therapists. Those with PTSD or insomnia, as well as other medical conditions, are thought to recover better with the soothing, delicate sounds of flowing water.
According to various reports, having an wall fountain inside your house may contribute to an increased level of well-being and security. Human beings, as well as this planet, could not exist without the sight and sound of water.
One of the two vital components in the art of feng- shui, water is considered to have life-changing effects. Harmonizing our inner environment so that it promotes serenity and peace is one of the central precepts in feng-shui. It is important to add a water element someplace in our homes. A fountain should be placed close to your front door or entrance to be most effective.
Whatever you choose, whether a mounted waterfall, a stand-alone water element, or a customized fountain, you can be certain that your brand new water wall will be advantageous to you and your loved ones. Having a fountain in a main room appears to influence people's state of mind, their happiness as well as their level of satisfaction according to some research.
The Advantages of Solar Powered Landscape FountainsThe Advantages of Solar Powered Landscape Fountains Garden wall fountains can be fueled in several different ways. Eco-friendly solar powered fountains, which are now easily available, have substituted older fountains which run on electricity. The initial costs to run your fountain on solar energy are probably going to be steaper, but you should keep in mind that in the long run it will be the more affordable option. Terra cotta, copper, porcelain, or bronze are utilized to make solar powered water fountains. This wide array of choices makes it easier to purchase one which matches your interior design. If you are looking to have your own garden retreat, these kinds of fountains are ideal because they are easy to maintain and also have a positive effect on the environment.
If you are searching for something visually pleasing as well as a way to maintain your house cool, indoor wall fountains are an excellent addition. Yet another option to air conditioners and swamp coolers, they use the very same principles to cool your living area You can reduce your power bill since they use less energy.
Their cooling effect can be activated by fanning fresh, dry air across them. You can either take advantage of air from a corner of your home or turn on your ceiling fan to better the circulation in the room The most important consideration is to ensure that the air is continuously flowing over the surface of the water. It is the nature of fountains and waterfalls to generate cooled, fresh air. The sudden chill we feel is normal when we come near a large municipal fountain or a waterfall. Situating your fountain cooling system in a spot that is especially hot decreases its effectiveness. If you are looking for an efficient cooling system, it should be placed away from direct sunlight.

What I Saw Last Week
Home prices in December showed the strongest gains since July 2014, capping an overall strong year for home-price growth driven by an improving economy and limited inventory of homes for sale. Case Shiller data showed the 20-city composite index up by 5.7% y/y (I had forecast 5.8%) and the Seattle area up by 9.9% – slightly below my call for an increase of 10.6%.
The hottest markets in the country, primarily on the West Coast, continued to show double-digit price gains, with Portland reporting an 11.4% year-over-year increase, followed by San Francisco with a 10.3% increase and Denver with a 10.2% jump.
I still anticipate that home-price growth will moderate in 2016, as buyers begin to reach the limits of what they can afford, especially in the most expensive markets.
Consumer Confidence dropped to 92.2 in February from a downwardly revised 97.8 (from 98.1) in January. I had anticipated a drop to 97.3.
February marked the lowest level for consumer confidence since October 2015. The drop in February stemmed from a drop in both the Present Situation Index (from 116.6 to 112.1) and the Expectations Index (from 85.3 to 78.9).
Notably, the report attributed the weakening in the present situation to greater apprehension about business conditions, their personal financial situation, and to a lesser degree, labor market prospects.
U.S. Existing Home Sales ran at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.47 million units in January, up 0.4% from a downwardly revised 5.45 million (from 5.46 million) in December. I had expected to see a drop to 5.3M.
Existing home sales are 11.0% higher than a year ago. At the current sales pace, there is a 4.0-month supply of inventory of unsold homes, which is well below the 6.0 month supply that is typically maintained during normal periods of buying and selling. The lack of supply has helped push median prices higher, which in turn is limiting sales activity since price increases are outpacing income gains for a large swath of potential buyers.
Overall, the median home price for all housing types in January was $213,800, up 8.2% year-over-year. By region, the median home price in the South was up 8.5% from a year ago, up 8.7% in the Midwest, up 7.4% in the West, and up 0.9% in the Northeast.
The slight improvement in existing home sales in January was surprising as I had expected to see low inventory levels, the winter blizzard in the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast late in the month, and a normal pullback from a much stronger than expected December home sales gain would have produced a modest downturn in sales.
New Home Sales in January were a disappointment with a drop to an annual rate of 494,000 units – this was 9.2% below the sales rate in December and well below forecast estimates for 523,000.
The January downturn has all the appearances of being the result of a surprising drop off in demand. Other exogenous factors that could be blamed really can't be. Firstly, the weather can't be blamed as the culprit for a few reasons. First, the Northeast, which was struck by a blizzard late in the month, saw sales increase 3.4%. Secondly, the West, which did not have to contend with blizzard conditions, saw a huge 32.1% month-over-month decline in new home sales.
Additionally, pricing can't be thought of as the culprit either. The median sales price of $278,800 was down 5.8% from the prior month and down 4.5% year-over-year.
This is all rather curious but I can't say that a single data set is the be all and end all. Remember that new home sales are counted when the contract is signed versus existing home sales which are counted when the sale is closed. Additionally, sales are still in a relatively healthy range and so I am not overly concerned.
I should know more when we see the February number.
The US economy expanded by 1% in the fourth quarter of 2015 according to the second estimate for GDP – I had forecast a drop to 0.4%.
While the upward revision to headline GDP growth is better than nothing – particularly as I had forecast a downward revision to 0.4% – the bottom line is that fourth-quarter GDP growth was still pretty modest.
Furthermore, the weaker drag from inventories in the fourth quarter means that any rebound in the first quarter could be slightly more modest than we previously expected. Nevertheless, it still appears that first-quarter GDP growth is on track to rebound to a very healthy 2.5% annualized or higher, which should dampen any concerns about an imminent recession.
The Personal Income & Spending report for January produced a slate of good economic news. Income increased 0.5% month-over-month (my forecast +0.4%), spending increased 0.5% (my forecast +0.3%), and the core PCE Price Index, which excludes food and energy, increased 0.3%.
This compendium of data leans in the Fed's favor for rationalizing another rate hike. The pressing question is this: Might it be enough to prompt another rate increase at the March 15-16 FOMC meeting? Time will tell, yet there was some key support offered for the Fed's inflation view and the notion that the Fed is making progress toward reaching its 2.0% inflation target (remember, progress toward, not actual achievement, is the guiding principle these days for the Fed).
The final Consumer Sentiment figure for February came in at 91.7 – down from 92.0. I had called for a drop to 91.0.
The Current Economic Conditions Index improved to 106.8 in February from 106.4. The Index of Consumer Expectations dipped to 81.9 from 82.7. The release noted that consumers are a little more cautious about year-ahead prospects for the economy, but that the outlook for their personal financial situation has improved to its best level in ten years.
The Sentiment Index is 6.5% below its cyclical peak of 98.1 in January 2015, which the report suggests hardly merits a recession warning. For added perspective, the Sentiment Index hit a cyclical peak of 96.9 in January 2007 and then declined 27% to 70.8 in February 2008.
What to Watch for This Week
US Pending Homes Sales in January are likely to have contracted by 1.5%. I am not overly concerned as I will put much of the contraction down to the severe January blizzard. That said, some of the contraction is likely a function of an acceleration in home prices.
Construction Spending in January will be modestly higher – look for an increase of 0.5%.
Non-Farm Payroll growth in February will be an improvement in the 151,000 jobs created in January. Look for the country to have added 190,000 new jobs
The US Unemployment Rate will remain at 4.9%
