A quick heads-up

Imagine you’re talking about someone when he walks in behind you. You’d appreciate it if your colleague gave you the heads-up, wouldn’t you? A simple “Hey John” would be enough to stop you talking. Giving someone the heads-up seems to be a positive thing, doesn’t it?

A brilliant blog

What do you expect from a business blog? I want one that not only informs me and makes me think differently, but that also entertains me and makes me laugh from time to time. Is that too much to expect? Definitely not.
