That's because with each and every coaching client I have, I always discuss the creation of a testimonial capturing system. And yet I am woefully inept at using testimonials myself.

The Power of a Blank Whiteboard

Unfortunately for many companies, people don't usually respond well to change. Anything but. I wish we could embrace the opportunity to evolve processes and thinking and behaviors - but often we don't. Especially in tough times - when the company environment is probably already tense and constricted.

The E Word: Ethics

Perhaps it’s time for Ethics to take its seat at the table. To be a central part of the ‘inner sanctum’ of thoughtful discussion when decision-makers have tough choices to make.
