As many of you know, I love to read – a lot! I especially love to read books that allow me to gain insights into some of the world’s best companies. I love learning about their trials and tribulations and why they continue to succeed.

The folks who know me know I feel that winning isn’t everything…it’s the only thing! Now for some, this statement may make them cringe. But for others, like myself, it’s a way of life!

Did you know that the average office employee spends an average of 62 hours a month sitting in meetings, 37% of which are considered unproductive by the participants?

Over the past 6 years or so, I have been enamoured by the positive effects of creating winning company cultures. The list of positive benefits on building company culture are endless.

There’s a lot of beauty to be found in the mistakes we make, because they’re simply a part of growing – probably the most important part.

The curtains are drawn while I pace calmly, going over in my mind what will happen next. The lights are bright and the stage is set as a hush falls over the crowd.
