Performing a Risk Analysis

Risk analysis isn’t as cut and dry as one might think. By definition, risk analysis is the process of identifying and analyzing potential issues that could negatively impact key business initiatives or critical projects in order to help organizations avoid or mitigate those risks. However, one must consider what risk entails to do this effectively. […]

Transformational Leadership

Transformational leadership is currently the most popular perspective of leadership. It is defined as a leadership approach that causes a change in individuals and social systems. Ideally, transformational leaders create positive change in their followers and ultimately develop their followers into leaders. However, don’t confuse this with pseudo-transformational leadership. Transformational leadership is fairly easy to identify. […]

Beware the Sucker-Punch

Over the last several months, I have seen numerous videos of left-leaning protesters taking cheap shots or sucker punches at their opposition. These attacks usually happen by the aggressor coming up from behind or from the side of their victim and striking. As a result, onlookers seem shocked or even confused about how someone could […]

Coaching and Mentorship

When I applied for the job, I had no idea I would be standing face-to-face with the man who would ultimately turn my life around by providing me with the mentorship I so desperately needed.

Unfortunately, it is all too common. Regarding Organizational leadership, it can be detrimental. From a leadership point of view, self-serving bias is when a person or organization […]

Teach Your Children to Walk AGAINST Traffic

Recently, I wanted to do an experiment where I would keep track of the number of times I would see someone walk in the same direction as traffic. The plan was to count them regardless of whether or not there was a sidewalk, and I would do this for about 30 days. A bonus for […]

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 […]
