Partnership as a Business Model
Years ago I decided to make a major shift in my business. We moved from being a vendor of services and resources to our clients to becoming strategic partners.

The Power of Self Awareness
There’s nothing worse than a lack of self awareness, special for a leader. If you’re a fan of the the sitcom, The Office, think of branch manager, Michael Scott and his apparently clueless existence. It’s more often sad and uncomfortable than it is funny. But not matter you role at work, school and in a…
