I Wish You Happiness: In pursuit of professional peace

One of the things I learned during the writing my book, Powered by Happy, is that there are some things, no matter their abundance, that simply won’t bring the happiness we seek.

It’s hard not to be lulled into thinking otherwise. We envy the pictures in our social media feeds…of exotic vacations, lovely homes with beautiful furnishings, covetous social lives taking place at only the trendiest establishments. As humans, we are wired to be strivers. That we want what others have, or envision a bigger, better life is both understandable and exciting. The question is…at what cost?

"Now the board is involved"...

Hearing these words may frighten some CEOs and most certainly leadership teams. However, the way I see it, it is a much-needed refresh to corporations all over the world.

It’s about time!

My First NRF Experience- What is changing and how to overcome it

The big apple, 80,000 people surrounding booths in the Javits Center, robots rolling around- This was the scene of my first NRF Conference.

Rethinking Training and Development- Agile Learning is the Key to Employee Speed to Competency

In days’ past, year-end planning and reporting was the order of the day as organizations took time to review their accomplishments, measure against goals and objectives, and prepare to execute new plans.

Is your organization Change CAPABLE?

One thing is for certain, change is constant. We have heard that for years, but I believe it is more prevalent in today’s business climate than ever before. Look at Retail, everyone is trying to figure out customer engagement, how do we engage with the “new” customer and their buying habits? How do we KNOW the customer and what they want? While I believe that everyone knows that change is constant, I wonder how many of you are truly prepared. How resilient are you to change? How does this show up in your personal behaviors of those within your organization?

Over 250 years of combined experience has taught us a lot.
