Management – It’s 5 O’clock Somewhere
It’s Five O’clock SomewhereExcuse me as I juggle my way through the morning. First thing in the door I hear “we need this, have you heard from such and such, and don’t forget”. I am finally able to maneuver my way into my office and flip on my computer. As it is loading I check for voice messages and I’m not disappointed by the number of calls needing returned.

Business walk on the Rocks
I watched a video the other day about chat walks. Taking your business meetings and making them outside meetings.

Public Health Eating Disaster
Are You A Public Health Eating Disaster Just how far have our appetites taken us, and what happens in the event of an unforeseen major disaster? Is sugar in the details? Are “we” the disaster? Are we caught up in a Public Health Eating Disaster? How do we incorporate eating sugar in moderation? Sugar, we are told it can be “good for the soul” by all the ads and marketing jiggles being filtered into our daily lives. Moderation is the key, but what if you are an eating disaster? Some days I’m an eating disaster! I have really good days; heck, I even have really good weeks. But then there…
