Some people don’t appreciate sarcasm, snark or cynicism. And, some people don’t think cheese, bread and wine qualifies as a well-rounded meal. If I told them that’s exactly what I’m consuming for “dinner” while writing this, they’d probably ask: “Are you serious?”
Are you serious?
A question asked in disbelief with an extremely sarcastic tone…

Do you hate receiving pointless annoying cold calls? When was the last time a cold caller sold you?
While I was diligently "working the phone" making my cold calls, I was interrupted by my mobile phone ringing. As soon as I answered the sales person on the other end of the line swung into action with her very well rehearsed sales script. I swiftly cut…

Did you know that hiring and training a new employee costs up to five times more than retaining an employee?
It doesn't need to be so costly, however to add to your talent team. When you streamline your hiring, you not only cut hiring costs dramatically, but you make it easier to replace current employees who may not be performing up to par.
As the following…

What happens in an organization where minorities are in leadership and the majority is subject to discrimination? Before we set out on this road to explore “reverse discrimination” let us be clear on a few things:
