It’s not what you think, this is non-political. I recently got a new display shelving unit in my office to better organize the hoard of things I have. One of those things on the shelf is a framed copy of the cover of the New York Times my wife got for me for our first…

If you can master public speaking, you’ll immediately increase your value.
One of the things people hate with consistency is public speaking. It seems that it is an almost universally loathed activity. Standing up in front of your peers, bosses, friends, and/or enemies to present information of some sort is a very revealing action. I can get the fear of it. Here’s the thing though, the…
WeWork continues its growth with large companies.
