I’m going back a number of years here, but I enjoyed the movie with Tom Hanks and Madonna called A League of Their Own. It’s a story of a has-been baseball coach who has a drinking problem and is demoted to a women’s league. He’s not happy about it but slowly begins to see the […]
Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is
As a business consultant and professional recruiter, I can’t tell you how many times I hear the words “we want the best talent” or “we value our people” from companies, yet when the time comes to put their money where their mouth is, they back pedal, settle and won’t invest in their people. If you […]
Conformity Kills Creativity
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Hatred Will be Our Undoing
I recently watched the movie, The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas, a 2008 movie based in the World War II era. It follows a German family who moves so the father can take his new post at a “farm” which is really an extinction camp. The movie is complex and shows multiple sides of the […]
