The COVID Crisis is really changing things up right now, isn’t it? I want to keep it really short this week. Because I just read an amazing report. One, I gotta share immediately with you. The Royal Bank of Canada (the largest in our country) has just released an amazing piece of analysis and education […]
The whole interviewing process has become such a canned exercise these days. We all have standard questions.

The BS factor can be very high. And some […]

Incorporate your beliefs about how much you adore your customers and employees, how your simple processes make it painlessly easy to do business with you and how your work within your community highlights you as a […]
Time management is a real thing, isn’t it? I bet you have been thinking a lot about this COVID thing. Me too. I’ve been mulling over the pros and cons of the whole crisis and as is my inclination, trying to concentrate on the best parts. Family, relationships, what’s really important, finding and filling the […]
Most of us are well aware of Ellen DeGeneres. Y’know, the very creative TV personality who has a huge empire built on gentle humour, amazing dancing and a ‘be kind’ ethos. Her business longevity stats are awesome too. Almost twenty years, 3,000 episodes, and over 1,000 staff members. So, have you heard that her show […]
