How to Be in Charge (without Being a Jerk)

Judy Murdoch

How to Build Trust at Work

Christos Varsamis

You may be a skillful, effective employer but if you don't trust your personnel (and personnel trusting you) then the chances of improving and expanding your business are extremely limited.

Has Your Company Name Landed You in Legal Hot Water?

Marcia Yudkin

The #1 reason business owners hire my company to create a new business name within a week is they've received a cease-and-desist letter from an attorney.

Julie Donley, MBA, BSN, RN

What is important to you in life? Do you know what your values are? Values are those things that are priorities. These can be anything from nature and beauty, adventure, learning, having fun, or honor and integrity. You know these things because when you see them in others, they bring you joy. When you experience them for yourself, they bring you joy. And when you don’t have enough of them in your life, you feel empty, like life has lost meaning.

Leadership: Learning From Musicians

Harald Anderson

I have been a musician most of my life. In small bands or orchestras that I have participated in, I have had others lead me. Recently I had the opportunity to lead a small orchestra.

But, most of all, I was scared about looking foolish.

If you got as far as purchasing the materials and then sat there waiting for them to magically form themselves into a house, you'd be waiting a long time!
