For the first time in American history, we are seeing a trend to conform rather than be unique. We have been a country as diverse as the innovations we create; yet, there is a push for us all to look alike, most alarming, to think alike. Under the guise of tolerance, there is a one-sided […]
A Solution in Search of a Problem
I know I am going against the trendy culture here, but someone has to speak the truth about the ridiculousness of diversity and inclusion initiatives. It is truly a solution in search of a problem. Let me explain my take on this… When we focus on dividing us up into classes, segments, races and genders, […]
Creating Solutions that Get Results!
Long before I had my own business, I was the person to call when you needed something. It didn’t necessarily mean I would deliver, but I knew who could. I’ve always been about helping people by bringing them together. I create solutions that get results! I recently saw the movie, Courier, with Benedict Cumberbatch where […]
Our human needs have been identified for hundreds of years. Most of us studied Maslow’s hierarchy of needs in college proposed by Abraham Maslow in 1943, but Tony Robbins (life and business strategist) put them this way: we all need certainty, variety, significance, love & connection, growth and contribution. Understanding these needs levels the playing […]
When Everyone is Special, No One Is
I couldn’t imagine we would be living out a cartoon when I saw the 2004 The Incredibles, a story about a family of super heroes. Even though they saved the world numerous times, people got upset at the damage they caused defeating the enemy. As a result, they outlawed super heroes. Sure, that makes sense, […]
Quit Looking for Purple Unicorns
I have experienced all sides of the hiring process. Obviously back in my corporate days, I was interviewed for positions I held. As a leader, I conducted interviews to hire team members, and as a recruiter, I assist companies to find the right people for the right seats. Through the years, I have seen a […]
A Culture of Candid Communication
As someone who has spent over 20 years consulting for companies, I can tell you that the number one problem most businesses face is poor communication. You’d think with highly intelligent leaders this would not be the case, but statistics tell us otherwise: 4 out of 10 workers say their managers fail to engage in […]
Power in the Wrong Places
I wrote an article on Real Power many years ago in reference to true leadership and how it is about influence, not power. Fast forward today, and I see power in all the wrong places with a lack of genuine leadership. It seems power is the end goal, and we are all suffering at its […]
Don’t Assume
While walking my dog the other day, a lady approached me laughing. She said that from a distance, it appeared I wasn’t wearing pants. She was taken back by this and her mind was already racing with judgements and what she would say to me for such an atrocity. When she got closer, she realized […]
Feelings vs Facts
If I had to sum up succinctly what I feel is wrong in our country right now, I would say our emotional intelligence as a whole is in the basement. Emotional intelligence (EQ) is our ability to sense, understand and effectively apply the power and acumen of emotions to facilitate higher levels of collaboration and […]
