How to Raise Your Planning IQ
Many brilliant strategies founder in the execution. However, there is an effective way to maximize the chances of success in implementing strategy by raising your "planning IQ." Whenever there is a need to implement a new strategy or intent, or even if confronted with a novel situation, it is always best to take some time to conduct a planning assessment.

The following steps provide a template that can be applied to just about any situation and that ensures your plans will be well considered.

The Hidden Job Market Exposed
"The Hidden Job Market" is where great job opportunities are. These jobs have not been placed in the employment section of the newspaper or online.
