I believe former President Bill Clinton is quoted as saying, “If everyone on your team looks and acts just like you, you don’t have a team – you have an ant hill,” or something to that effect.

YOUR HEALTH If you have ever injured yourself, you have experienced pain. Your body speaks to you through pain censors that say “OUCH” and “that huts!” Ignore this message, and you will end up with a more severe injury that will cause you long-term pain and suffering.

YOUR HEALTH I’ve been teaching fitness classes for about 25 years now, and I always remind folks that a healthy lifestyle isn’t just to look and feel good.

YOUR HEALTH I have been an advocate of selfcare long before it was popular. I was forced into it by having much of my health taken away from me at a young age. Like many things, I believe the pendulum as swung too far over now, and people are becoming selfish in the name […]
F.I.T. is Important
If you have been to my website, heard me speak or worked with me, you know that I am all about the F.I.T. – Function, Integration and Training. As someone who has spent 20+ years in the talent management space, if you don’t’ care about the F.I.T., you will continue to lose the best people […]
Hiring the Right People Saves You Money
The employment market is absolutely insane right now. With all the government assistance, many people have zero incentive to work. Those who have been and are working are swaping jobs over small increases. All of this is making it tempting to just put “butts in the seat,” but I am here to tell you how […]
