Succession Planning
I saw this article and it is a perfect preface to the issue of succession planning. New Study Indicates More Than 50% of CEOs Cancel Strategic Initiatives Due to Lack of Workforce Talent In these competitive economic times when companies are looking for global growth,...
Speed Kills
Ok so maybe that’s a little too dramatic a headline. How patient are you? Do you get frustrated when your phone or computer takes several seconds to respond? When was the last time you called someone who didn’t have voicemail? How willing are you to do the work that...
Social Media is not the Total Solution
Sorry to burst bubbles out there! When I first started my business 15 years ago I made some of the same mistakes I help my clients avoid. I wasn’t 100% sure of my target market and would advertise in places that were no more productive than flushing money down the...
So Many Webinars, So Little Time…

Save me from sales webinars!
I was suckered again.. Shame on me; you’d think I would learn not to waste an hour of my time waiting for any nugget of wisdom or insight. But noooooooo!!!! I get an invite from a national speaker I’d heard a lot about and I set aside an hour to listen. I know I have...
Rumors
I was in a store recently waiting my turn and overhearing conversations. Ok, I admit it I eavesdrop and I people watch! In one conversation one woman was telling another about an incident she had heard and she was so surprised a person acted the way they did. The...
Rivalry and Innovation
If you have siblings you know all too well how this works. They get attention doing something so you have to do it bigger and better. They buy the parents a gift you need to get a better one. Sometimes we realize that rather than compete we can collaborate to...
