Workforce Development, Learning Strategy / By /

“Let them eat cake. It did not work for Marie Antoinette and it does not work today. The recent pandemic has opened our eyes to how images of people are projected and especially how leaders show up.

Remote Learning: It’s The Thing!

Learning Strategy, Workforce Development / By /

It used to be when one thought of the ‘future’ they may imagine The Jetsons; flying cars and teleportation machines. It sounds ridiculous, but at one time so was the idea of electricity or even the Internet seventy years ago. Now look at us, technology has evolved into being an important part of our everyday lives.

Show Me The Money

Show Me The Money ! (But Know That Money Is Not All That Motivates Me!)
