I feel like I hear him say “I’m so sorry” with complete sincerity a dozen times a day.

2024 has tested every organization, and 2025 promises no less - the warning signs are everywhere. If you’re relying on superficial approaches to diversity, you might find yourself scrambling to catch up. Thought diversity - the fuel for new ideas, fresh perspectives, and disruptive innovation - is more than a buzzword. It's a survival strategy. And if you’re not building it into your workplace culture right now , you’re heading for trouble.

Salesforce’s “State of Sales” report surveyed 5,500 sales professionals earlier this year. Two findings caught my attention. First, sales reps spend only 30% of their time selling during an average week. Second, 81% of sales teams said they are investing in AI. Of those using AI, 41% believe that they have “fully implemented AI.” The remaining 59% range from having no strategy at all, to tinkering with tools.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.

A wise person once told me, "Don't envy someone else unless you want their *entire* life." That advice has stuck with me over the years and has cured me of most envy I would have for others. I have a number of friends who are wealthier than me, and I certainly see strangers who look like they have some things I don't, but it often doesn't take long to see the holes in any desire for their life: They may be divorced or have an awful marriage, and I can see it in their slumped shoulders or fear wh
