It’s another true confession time. The penny dropped when I recently interviewed my latest guest about Compassion in the workspace. For years, I have bragged about improving a business’s net income before taxes from 8% to 35% of revenue in three years. YES, that was definitely significant, and no, I didn’t cut people, chop expenses […]
This is the last Sunday of the LOVE month. And I want to turn to something that is too often deemed esoteric, fluff and silly. Love of Self. Love for Self. Self Love. I think it’s a fundamental pillar of our existence. Personal Confession: It took me decades to understand the concept, and I’m not […]

And just for kicks, I am STILL serving up my favourite business process—continuous improvement—with a generous side order of “Just DO It.” So, what is continuous improvement again? Sometimes, it is referred to as continual improvement. Truly, […]

Last week, I shared my favourite business process—continuous improvement—and coupled it with the phrase “Just DO It.” It was a not-so-subtle call to action. Why? We are in January, and nearly everyone- people and businesses- feels a productivity sag and a cash flow squeeze. I get it. So, this month, I want to share some […]
Happy New Year! 2025 is a few days old now. Are ya feeling different? Starting at about 4:00 a.m. on December 26th, my inbox was flooded with the ‘make this your best year ever’ bunk. I’m betting yours was, too. Maybe it has something to do with the annual repetitive messaging. Or perhaps we’ve reached […]
This week on the podcast, it’s just me. The idea was sparked by something I wrote on LinkedIn. Most of us know about it but remain blissfully unaware of its origins. Planned Obsolescence See most of us consumers complain a lot about this concept. Planned Obsolescence is the natural result of something fatally breaking down. […]
Last weekend, I received yet another 30-page report purporting to make my efforts more efficient, effective, and excellent. “The reach has continued to decline steadily for two years. Every. Single.
