Well … I did it. Something I’ve wanted to do for many years. Go to the Kentucky Derby and experience the infield.

Saturday, May 6th, 2006 was a perfect Derby Day, so Elizabeth and I made a spontaneous decision to go to the track. We had a wonderful time experiencing the experience of the experience. We placed a small bet on the ponies. Then we went back home in time to watch The Derby on TV.

And I won! I put a $2.00 bet across the board on the winning horse, Barbaro. And here’s the ticket to prove it.

There are some similiarities between winning the Kentucky Derby, and winning in home health care. And it starts with picking top talent. Now I have to admit that I’m not much of an expert in picking top horse racing talent. I just got lucky.

But I’m getting better at helping clients pick top talent in home health care. Particularly leadership talent and sales talent. Much like the handicappers have tools to help them pick successful race horses, we have some tools we use to help home care CEOs pick top leadership and sales talent. If you would like to know more about these talent selection tools, give us a call toll free at 866-209-5101.

And stay tuned to see how our horse does in the Preakness, Pimlico race track in Baltimore on Saturday, May 20th. Posted by Picasa
