Gossip… What a powerfully destructive word; yet it seems to be a mainstay in the way many people converse in the workplace, at home, and in their relationships. You’ve experienced it… during your breaks at work; engaging in, listening to, or overhearing gossip about your boss, co-workers, the projects, and all of the decisions you […]

I know… it sounds weird to even mutter the words, keep the effects of a global pandemic going. So many people lost their lives, families lost family members, and the world changed forever. This is not to minimize the pain, loss, and suffering of so many; rather an opportunity to live in the positives and

As a leader, either you’ve come across or will come across what I call a “Speedy Employee”. This is the person on your team that’s a go-getter, doesn’t need micro-managing, is intuitive, listens, applies, takes initiative, and hits the ground running; all you have to do is point them in the right direction!

You’ve been there as a leader, you’re working in your office and someone knocks at your doorway with a question… a simple question that could take two minutes turns into an hour-long conversation you didn’t plan on having! This process happens two more times with colleagues and BAM… there’s half your day! This was my

Ask anyone who knows me and they’ll tell you; cooking isn’t my thing! I don’t enjoy the ratio of time it takes to prepare and clean; compared to the time it takes to eat. However, I was lucky to marry my wife… she loves to cook and bake and is the best at both! Although

I’ll never forget a former boss of mine walking into the office in a frazzled state, rattling off a bunch of conversations to herself aloud, suddenly looking at me, and exclaiming, “I feel squozen!”… Yes, she made up a word and I knew exactly what she meant and how she felt… and I’m sure you

Sometimes, as a leader within an organization or team, you will have to give “The Answer”… the answer for how to fix something, do the process correctly, or the answer for how to do it right the next time! It’s been said millions of times… and I echo it myself… leaders build other leaders and
