Boris Johnson resigned as UK Prime Minister. I’m not here to debate whether that was a right or wrong move. I will say that his resignation speech was interesting. To me, at least. Maybe a few others. In his speech, he noted some of his accomplishments. He did […]
Everywhere we turn, we hear about heroes. Everyone is a hero this day. The word, in all honesty, appears to have lost some of it cache and meaning. This is not the first time I discuss this. Years ago I talked about hero worship. And, that was years […]

I can be talking about anything. Bring there more for our kids. Creating better reports at work. Standing up to the bullies at both the watercooler and at the local bar. Silence allows contempt and misinformation to take hold. Not allowing a group of self-righteous know-it-alls dictate (incorrectly […]
Everyone everywhere is gaslighting every other person from the chandeliers down to the gravel. It’s inescapable. As such, one must evolve at a rapid pace. Many years ago, in providing someone a performance appraisal I advised them that they had to get better at bullshitting. It may sound […]
