For the past 6 years, we’ve offered a variety of public workshops across the country in conjunction with our media partner, Briefings Media Group (perhaps you’ve even attended one).

Two Years of Helping Buds Become Bosses – Helping New Leaders Succeed

More Training, Made Cheaper and Easier

One of my favorite places to shop is Costco. I love being able to get the high quality products I want at a lower price. The trade-off for the lower price is that you have to buy in quantity. This quantity thing works great for some items, less well for others. Take Jif peanut butter

How to Harness the Power of Our Visual Minds

I often do the following exercise with groups (you can try it after you read it, but I’m not sure it will translate perfectly in writing). “Close your eyes and clear your mind. I’m going to say a word. I want you to think about the word briefly then open your eyes. The word is
