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
