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. An unfortunate turn for students attending college or a university is locking horns with a tenured professor who has not worked in the…
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. I understand the need that some have to correct for the wrongs. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that I did no wrong. In fact, I was too good. Just to set the record straight.

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…
Social Media – What’s your Hook
Social Media – What’s your Hook? What makes your company stand out in the world of social media? Are you stumped for an answer? I guess we could ask our presidential candidates on both sides, the same question. They would of course say they are “ALL” winning the debates being presented on the digital front. The one attribute they all seem to possess is an aggressive one. They attack everything with a “WIN” mentality. When planning out your own social media campaign you need to have the same “WIN” mentality. If you are too focused on upsetting your followers, due to a cultural fit, or afraid of appearing to be too…
