My Aunt, Olive June Black, An Ohio Original — In Memoriam
Reputation Matters, Forbes, May 26, 2011
My Aunt June loved sparkly things.
She loved to wear glittery jewelry, tiaras in her bright blond hair, and sequins. In fact, Junie WAS a bright and glimmering jewel, and she brought sparkle into all our lives, right up to the end of hers.
But that was only the tip of her story.
Anyone named Olive June Black (because, by the way, her mother loved black olives and the baby was born in June), had to be an original! And Junie was a true original, in every sense of the word.
She died this Tuesday, May 24th, 2011 in her sleep in Cleveland Ohio. This column is taken from her eulogy, which I delivered yesterday at her funeral. […read more]

Working 25/8: More ‘To Dos’ Than We Can Get ‘To Done’
Davia Temin, Forbes, February 2, 2011
As the founder and CEO of a boutique management consultancy, dedicated to surpassing all others, I find that eight hours a day – or more – must be devoted to exceeding the expectations of each client; eight hours a day – or more – must be devoted to running the company; and eight hours a day – or more – must be devoted to bringing in new business. Sleep, and you wake up behind. […read more]
Kindness At The Office
Davia Temin, Forbes, December 9, 2010
