Leaders are Readers – Learners are Earners
For decades, authors have studied the characteristics of great leaders in every field. While volumes have been written on the common strengths of front-runners worldwide, most of the emphasis has been placed on the same dozen or so attributes that authors feel readers want to hear about. One distinguishing quality of all great leaders is…

The one critical thing, that anyone working in the newspaper industry knows, that would make a success out of any business – guaranteed!
If you really want to understand how the human race behaves take a trip to the Emperor Valley Zoo and watch the chimps and monkeys for one week. First you’ll see them doing their thing but soon enough you’ll begin to recognize the many traits they share with us such as: Being as lazy as…

Procrastination is the thief of profit
Are you a procrastinator? While we may not wish to label ourselves as procrastinators – we have all procrastinated over one thing or the other at different times in our lives. In fact in most of our cases, not a day goes by where we don’t say, “I know I should be doing “it” but…

Happiness…will you find it this year?

Do you want to leave a legacy?
Most of us women fit somewhere between Oseola Mc Carthy and Oprah Winfrey… We’re not pulling down the millions, but we aren’t washing clothes for a living either! Yet Oseola Mc Carthy quit school at 12 and began taking in laundry for a living. She never earned more than $10 a bundle but seventy-five years…

Mints, nut bars, jub jub…did anybody say Diana?
I have been intrigued lately by the Diana ads featuring Nikki Crosby and Sprangalang. Although the ads are simple ads they are actually a great case for effective advertising. While advertising agencies in Trinidad and Tobago and worldwide submit ads and win prizes for “most creative” and “best art direction” – advertisers pay them money…
Clarity BEFORE Execution. Structure BEFORE Speed
If you could better understand one thing about your business right now….
Most costly decisions begin with
an inaccurate understanding of the situation.
I help leaders understand what is actually happening before major decisions are made or
resources are invested in solving the wrong problem.
