Networking in real time
I am a huge advocate of networking as many of you know because I know it works; but here is the key, it’s NOT about collecting cards. The one with the most cards is not the winner but merely a hoarder of cards. Networking is creating a relationship so people see you...
Necessity or Luxury?
I recently read an article about business coaching, and although I consider myself a consultant we know that lately the terms are interchangeable and I thought this article had valid points. This is how the article started. Today, having a Business Coach is no longer...
Miss Manners, Where Are You?

Leadership -Role or Influence
What is leadership? Is it the person we defer to because they are the boss? Is it the person we fear, or the one we admire? Do we share their beliefs or vision? Whether teaching the management class at UCLA or working with clients the topic of leadership comes up. How...
K.I.S.S.
We all know this stands for Keep It Simple Stupid (Sweetheart). We ask someone the time and they build us a watch. How often have we seen memos that look like this? “You should to the every greatest extent possible strive for symmetry in your involvement with the...
K-Mart has a problem..
