Do You Have A Real Friend?

The word friend gets tossed around a lot these days. It’s unfortunate, too, because I don’t think too many understand what friendship is supposed to be or what it even looks like. I think it’s sad. For too many, a friend is nothing more than a person on their contact list. I think our lives […]

Peyronie’s Disease Treatment Ideas

I am often asked to look into various health conditions that mainstream medicine seems to have limited information on or has yet to connect certain dots. It is sad to say that in this modern era, there are still quite a few questions regarding personal health, which is very true regarding men’s health because men […]

Can Leadership Development Really Work?

Executives continually rank leadership development as a top priority. Unfortunately, there is no doubt that many leadership development programs out there simply fail in their promise of actually developing leaders. So what’s really going on? The sad truth is that too many programs only focus on leadership theory alone and usually only in an organizational […]

So Many Diets to Choose From – Which is best?

There are so many diets to choose from. What is a diet anyway? By definition, it is the kind of food that a person habitually eats. However, it’s also a special course of food to which one restricts oneself, either to lose weight or for medical reasons. There is an endless number of special diets […]

Skin Cancer Deaths Among Men Soar – But Why?

The media has been buzzing about a recent study that says that skin cancer deaths among men have soared in wealthy nations since 1985. It suggests that men are “less likely to protect themselves from the sun” or heed public health warnings. QUICK! EVERYONE PANIC AND GRAB THE SUNSCREEN! Or don’t! I’m not a scientist, but […]

Security Ignorance – A Cause For Concern?

This week, arguably, one of my biggest clients decided they wanted to pay their entire invoice via credit card instead of the usual check. Thinking that my credit card processing company would have my back (because I hadn’t had a single transaction issue or complaint and because this particular client of mine is a large […]

The GrassFire Proposal Model

The GrassFire Proposal Model (GF Proposal Model) is a suggestion that I provide to my students regarding organizational communication, problem identification and evaluation, and resolution exploration. Follow your organization’s formatting expectations and norms regarding layout. Step 1: Provide your proposal to leadership in a typed format. This is to ensure professionalism, legibility, and conciseness. Additionally, […]

Some Dangers of Social Media Posts

Have you ever given any thought to your social media status updates? Perhaps you should. While no one wants to think about it, you might be putting yourself at risk based on your post. It seems that our need to be connected via social media results in risky behaviors that too many are simply not […]

Using Leadership as a Buzzword – Just Don’t

Do you want to devalue what leadership stands for? Are you seeking to deflate the term and blur the lines of what you’re looking for or what your organization does? Are you looking to ensure that your credibility is shot with great candidates? If any of these things sound like what you’re looking for, then […]

Leadership Coach vs Leadership Practitioner

Is there a difference between a Leadership Practitioner and a Leadership Coach? I believe there is. Let me begin with a metaphor to paint the picture. As Alexandre Vsevolo Latchininsky, Extension Entomologist for the State of Wyoming, explains, “all locusts are grasshoppers, but not all grasshoppers are locusts.” Similarly, while Leadership Practitioners often act as […]
