Season’s greetings to you this holiday season!

Dear Clients and Friends: Season’s greetings to you this holiday season!            As is our tradition during December, we want to publicly thank our Creator God for His love and faithfulness! The Holiday Season is a very special time for the Jewish and Christian faiths because they share spiritual beliefs rooted in the Torah (the first five books of the Bible) and they both celebrate the experience of faithfulness of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

No Dog in the Hunt: Why Bottlenecks Work

Have you ever been distracted by the plank in your eye? What about the fly stuck your ointment? I have. And so has every business owner I know!

“How to Tell Your Employees How to Vote: American Business Advisors and Colorado Amendment 69”

Author’s note: We have intentionally reprinted last week’s Insider in a slightly different form to model the principle of repetition.  In “telling your employees how to vote,” be sure to remind them that it’s important for them to vote their conscience. In order to connect with their conscience as best as possible, brain science tells us they need to do a few key things to diminish the levels of  adrenaline, cortisol and a multitude of elevated stress hormones:   Turn off their screens Go for a walk Drink lots of water Reflect on: What their core values are What is in the best interest of their loved ones What is in the best interest of their community, our nation, and our world Then cast their vote. TRUST = Credibility + Reliability                   Perceived Self-Interest The current political climate makes it difficult to have civil conversations about anything remotel...
