There are types of people. Someone who continues to learn, and someone who decides learning is not a thing after they get a diploma. For me, learning is life. What am I doing if I’m not learning from it? If you don’t like learning, you’ll have a hard time keeping up with technology and norms […]

We come with an inherent bias that we want and maybe even expect other people to be just like us. This becomes a detriment because we then want to influence people to be more like us. Maybe it’s to positively enhance a person’s life. Too often is it due to one being self-righteous while pressuring […]

Employee Appreciation Day was a couple of days ago. If you didn’t know that, hopefully you are appreciated 365 days of the year. Yeah that includes the weekends. When I talk to my team about feedback, I hardly ever talk about their work. I’m very much appreciative of who they are. Characteristics of responsibility, dependability, […]

There’s nothing much more to say, but mention the truth. We can’t do too much about it. The problem is that people deny this fact. As if they don’t take in new information and totally reject it if it doesn’t confirm a previously held bias. The best thing we can do is at least be […]

I’m here to debunk another common myth in the working world. It’s believed that if you work hard, you will be successful. It’s not necessarily true. First off, what is hard work? Who deems your work as hard work? How much work do you have to do to make sure you’re doing hard work? It’s […]

Being busy isn’t always a good thing. Yet we seem to equate it to success. When people come into the door huffing and puffing, we say, “Oh, he/she must be doing something.” In reality, this person could just be wasting time. By wasting time I mean checking and responding to email, getting updates on unimportant […]

“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes … the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. … You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only […]

Music has a powerful effect on us. It has a way with carrying our emotions. A sad song can move us to tears while Pharrell Williams can spend an entire year making us happy. That’s just in the short term. A study conducted at the University of Groningen in Netherlands shows that not only does […]
