Growing Up: Time only flies when you throw your watch!
When I was 16, I wanted to be 18. At 18, I wanted to be 21.

Every professional or personal challenge I experienced and every lesson I learned was typically about me recognizing and managing the lines in my life: learning when to cross them, when to draw them and when to read between them.

How to Leverage the Potential of Foreign Employees for the Success of a Business
We live in a world of migration and the number of migrants crossing the borders increases daily.

“A Business Coach’s Top Ten Tactics for Marketing Professional Services”
Marketing professional services is a real and difficult challenge. The challenges of marketing professional services are different from those of marketing products. Two major reasons for the differences are that clients cannot see or touch professional services before they buy them and the professional services are often produced and consumed simultaneously.

Based upon my research and my own professional experience, I developed a Top Ten Tactics for marketing professional services. My top ten tactics for marketing professional services are:

5.2 Is it factor accumulation or total factor productivity that drives growth in Africa?: Economic Report on Africa 2007
To investigate the link between growth and diversification, it was important to first quantify the contribution of TFP to economic growth. This section analyses the sources of growth for African countries using the standard growth accounting method, making it possible to disaggregate the shares of growth contributed by TFP, capital and labour. Growth in output is the sum of the growth in capital, labour and TFP. Capital accumulation is an essential element in the growth process, as it enlarges the economy’s capacity to produce.

Uncovering Opportunity

Making Leadership Stick
Personal and professional growth is not a sure thing process. In order to discover things about yourself or about how the business works, you must be allowed to “experiment”, and the leader who is always telling people what to do misses out on a very important part of the whole growth cycle. It’s been said that success is a poor teacher, and in the area of growth, if you are always winning, how can you know what real success tastes like if you haven’t tasted any sort of failure.
Networking: Hate to miss it, but I really don’t want to go!
