A Look Inside High School
A Look Inside High School If you have ever watched the TV program the Big Bang Theory, just know that there is some truth to their intellectually humorous satire and your child’s high school classroom. Everyone wants to be the best at something. At first I thought about naming this piece A look inside – if you dare”. Thinking better of that, I choose to mellow it down a bit. Especially considering that a large number of parents are just grateful if their child is passing, let alone a Sterling Scholar. What really goes on inside any typical classroom and on the campus grounds, really could be a great story write…
The philosophy and principles of business cannot be fully taught from a lecture podium
The philosophy and principles of business cannot be fully taught from a lecture podium There is a fairly large gap between academia and the business world. What you are taught in college is not necessarily going to equate to real world settings. Life is not a pre-defined scenario. Rather, it is more like a jungle of pandemonium; or simply organized chaos. There are those in academia that tend to struggle with the concepts of business and social welfare when confronted with honest debate about current affairs.

When it happens to you – reorganization
Having suffered through the loss of a job that I thought I would end up retiring from was a blow. It was one of those knockdown moments.

People will gossip about you, attempt to find the hidden dirt (which there isn’t any). The truth…
The Power of Words
The Power of Words The words we choose to get our point across can be mighty in their delivery or conveyed in the simplest of form. Whether mighty or simple it’s the actions behind those words that make them effective or ineffective. Words are meant to convey something or prompt action. Those words could be power selling, resume words, inspirational words, words that hurt, mind blowing words, healing, moral, ethical, or inspiring words, etc. When we combine lists of power words with the use of social media in the work place, who benefits the most from their usage? This is a question that a lot of organizations struggle with today.…
Business walk on the Rocks
Business walk on the Rocks. Business walk on the Rocks I watched a Ted Ex video the other day about chat walks. Taking your business meetings and making them outside meetings. Inspired by this talk, one has only to think about some of the following items: decide on the location of the walk the length of time available to walk who you will meet with what you will discuss and the weather of course. The amount of stress alone saved in taking a chat walk is worth its weight in gold. It also helps to cut your blood pressure down, beef up your cardio, raise those happy endorphin’s, and bring…
