Tweet Leverage Strengths, Skills & Savvy To Maximize Assets Present In Any Situation. Change Agents don’t have to look very far or too closely to spot resistance.  Setbacks are commonplace.  Unwanted and unintended circumstances abound and come from many directions…economic issues, internal politics, revenue shortfalls, entrenched legacy systems, etc. Professional and personal disappointments always arise.

Tweet See The Future Through A “What’s In The Glass” Mindset How many times have you heard people ask… “Is he or she a glass-half-full or a glass-half-empty person?” It’s a simple question designed to get at how people generally perceive and approach life.

Tweet Pepsi’s “opt out” of the Super Bowl and “opt in” to Social Media Is A Game Winner. Sure, with over 90 million viewers the Super Bowl is the one of the most watched events on the planet. Its commercials have become an essential part of Super Bowl appeal and folklore. Super Bowl spots generate more buzz than the half time show spectaculars. Last week Nielsen released a study that shows more viewers like watching ….Read More

Tweet The sky is falling….maybe The beginning of the afternoon at the World Business Forum can best be summed up as a sobering barrage of the pitfalls, perils, and problems ahead of us. David Rubenstein, founder of the Carlyle Group, the world’s largest private equity firm, presented a non-stop litany of facts to drive home his admonition that “Just because the recession will be ‘over’ soon doesn’t mean it’s all going to be OK.” His ….Read More
