Recovery
A new year, turn over a new leaf, leave the pandemic behind….as we began January, hope was in the air. I was feeling motivated, focused, grateful.
Riding into 2021
If we all learned one thing in 2020, it was that we have darn little control over the waves we ride in on. Who knew last December that we would have a pandemic and all the economic effects that followed. We thought it would all blow over in 2 months and we would be back […]
Covid tests
We have been subjected to so many Covid tests, it is hard to put all of them in categories. And, I don’t mean getting that swab stuck up to my brain and down to my tonsils. Every day, Covid tests our leadership, our mindset and our health habits.
“Keeping on…”
It seems like the unrelenting anxiety that many of us felt around the election may be easing. Yet, even if you are a Biden supporter, the win didn’t make for any substantial change to the underlying cause of the stress. We still have a growing Covid pandemic that is devastating our people and the economy. […]
Share your why
Given a choice, people do business with people and companies they like. If only Amazon has 2 day service, you might not win customers with a one week delivery schedule and no other compelling value. All things being equal, we tend to buy from people or brands we like or trust.

Talk about an impressive career! While there were many, many take-aways […]
Honor, Duty and Sacrifice
Thursday was the 75th anniversary of the Allies victory over Japan – VJ day as many vets called it, including my Navy Dad. Most Californians went to the Pacific and so many died as they fought the Japanese island by island all the way to Japan. So few WWII vets are still alive to tell […]
Covid-19 versus well, everything
We are in the process of rethinking almost everything about how we lived up to March, 2020. Since the pandemic started, all our daily practices have been challenged. Here are a few: Work: How we work and where we work. Family – Who we see and who we don’t see, except electronically Travel: So taken […]
What IS reality?
Last week I was all fired up to rescue LA city schools with an initiative from the business community to bring free internet to all students so every child would have access to remote education and we wouldn’t see them lose another year of education.
Make at least a dollar
As the pandemic continues to tamp down sales for many businesses, tough decisions will have to be made. Many companies have used up all their PPP money keeping their team working, hoping we would reopen. Some businesses are doing better, and some have been okay all through this. No matter what you are going through, […]
