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, […]
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, […]

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 […]
Good Decisions + Time Management = Success
If you are a baker, you know it isn’t just having the right ingredients but how you put them into the mix that matters. Unlike cooking, baking is more precise. One mistake can ruin the entire batch. The wrong bowl temperature is the difference between perfect meringue and a flop. Success is no different. It […]

Fit to Lead and Create a Winning Culture
The word culture is thrown around a lot, but my experience is that most companies have a disconnect between what they say and what they do in regards to culture.
