I have been going to Reformer Pilates for more than a year now. It has been extremely helpful in getting much of my balance back and strengthening my ‘core’. Three of us students are pretty close. One lady has lost nearly 150 lbs in two years — very, very hard work. One lady is a […]
Digitally speaking, writing or blogging is one of the coolest and easiest ways to share thoughts and insights (often referred to as opinions) that are outside the usual. Look for fresh insights and stories each week. Business As Usual Business as usual is an umbrella term that covers all standard, day-to-day business operations. I really like […]
Want to tell you about an experiment I ran on LinkedIn these last two weeks. I think you’ll find it fascinating — even if you play on other social media sites. Background I have devoted the better part of two hours, five days a week, to posting and engaging on LinkedIn for the last eleven […]
I have a confession today. I am OBSESSED with the cleanliness of bathrooms. Everywhere. It probably started when I was a little girl, and my mother told me always to wear a clean pair of underpants. Truthfully that advice was about getting into an accident, and apparently, the state of one’s underpants told a lot […]
Apparently, we have a huge problem in business these days. The employee. Specifically the ones we can’t find or we can’t keep. This problem is not new. But it is getting worse. This seems a tad odd because, for the most part, businesses are still not at the pre-COVID level of employment. YET they face […]
Can you articulate the sexiest result or results that you get from your customer base? No — I am not talking about the fact that 98% pay their bills on time. (Yes, cash flow is indeed incredible. But that is not the sexiest result.) Let me give you a hint. There is not one but […]
We all know there is such a large unemployment rate today and a groundswell of resume circulation. Thank you, COVID. Yet I still see and hear the usual hew and cry about how employers are having a tough time finding good help. That there is a huge shortage of decent employees. And that we need […]
Post-Covid you say? When we are still physically distancing? YES. It is now time to switch gears. From the day to day firefighting to the long term new realities. Because failing to plan is planning to fail. Let me explain. Right now We have been closeted for six weeks. We likely have another four more […]
Have you heard the common complaint these days that there is a ‘lack of qualified people’? I am not talking about the shortage of tradespeople. I am referring to this highly educated country we live in being unable to produce qualified people for open jobs. From where I sit, the problem does not lie with […]
I have been guesting on a few podcasts lately, and one of the topics I cover is developing a winner’s mindset. A few years ago, I developed a simple schematic. It was the most natural way I could explain how I recovered quickly and near perfectly from the effects of two strokes. It works and […]
