  • Biases and Preconceptions – a Liability for Leadership

    How often do we begin a decision already convinced we understand what is happening… only to discover, much later, that we were operating inside a version of reality we quietly constructed for ourselves? How often do we meet a team member, assess a situation, or interpret a result and feel a kind of certainty that…

  • How Do We Leverage Humor in Trinidad and Tobago to Our Advantage?

    One thing we have in abundance in Trinidad and Tobago is humor. We could be facing hardship, bureaucracy, blackout, or bacchanal—and somehow we still find the punchline. “Ting to cry for, we laugh.” It’s not just a saying—it’s our national coping strategy.
