It’s Time to Take The Appaholics Pledge

I state your name pledge not to try to use every one of these tools. I understand that while these tools all could be effective, I could have a brain explosion if I try to use them all. I understand that the goal of this presentation is to get me to find less than 5 to use all the time. I do not hold Mr Lockhart accountable for my brain explosions or drowning under the fire hose

The Disclaimers1. I know the MSTAR

has its ups and downs…trust me I know…yes, I really

do…... Let’s not make this a place to

debate them.

2. This is a starter kit…..It’s in the

name…..Don’t expect the magic answer

3. These are tools to get OUTCOMES! That is

always what tech should be about. You must focus on

the process

5. Some of the tools take work, while others don’t.

Work at it till you get better!

6. I will say some wacky stuff about the standards…

Sorry in ADVANCE

4. Obviously there are tools that crossover into

several….deal with it
