Outside the dressing room, the manager “trained” a new employee on the store's theft procedures in a loud voice. Inside the dressing room, two African American women were trying on clothes. One of the women came out and expressed how upset she was at the insinuation she was stealing. In response, she and her friend were asked to leave the store and then security was called.

Am I just getting old? When I encounter a new product idea for the first time, I find myself asking: Is this idea dumb? Or am I just getting old? Early on, there’s often not much to judge it on besides the idea. Sometimes the idea sounds either dumb or trivial. But over the years, I’ve started to not try to judge too much, especially when it’s early.

“What do you want to be when you grow up?”. A fireman! A rooster! (I actually said this.). As children, we were asked this question over and over again. Even now as adults we ask the same question to the kids in our lives. It could just be a way to humor ourselves with the adorable answers we get, but truly, even from a young age we understand that the career path we pursue becomes a strong part of our identity.

These days there's a lot of focus on organizational culture in terms of its ability to attract and retain employees in today's shrinking labour market. Naturally, any discussion of an organization's culture also includes an examination of its values, which serve to articulate what that culture looks like in action. And yet, despite this growing focus on organizational culture and values, we continue to see example after example of companies outwardly claiming their organization stands for one th

What is Emotional Intelligence? Emotional Intelligence is the capability to identify, manage, evaluate and understand our own emotions and also of the people around us. The concept of emotional intelligence was introduced by psychologists Peter Salovey and John Mayer in 1990.

Pop quiz: in what year was the term “telecommuting” coined? Even trivia connoisseurs may be surprised by the answer. Like most, you may have guessed a time after the invention of the internet, but in fact, the first known remote worker was an employee of NASA in the early 70’s. (So perhaps a very remote worker?) In 1979, the Washington Post published the article “ Working at Home Can Save Gasoline ,”and from there the idea of telecommuting gained popularity.

During my last few engagements and following recent trends, I have been observing two worlds in which I co-exist at odds. The world of empiricism and hard sciences and the world of human sciences or psychology. The so-called ‘tree hugger’ (as it is sometimes dismissively called) and the unwavering pragmatist. As someone who has a strong background in both of these, this is not only an extrinsic observation but also an intrinsic one.
