Phishing Attacks on the Rise

Over the years, phishing attempts have presented a real issue for individuals and businesses. Sometimes the attempts are comical, but sometimes the attempts are highly sophisticated. Despite the numerous warnings provided by experts, public awareness campaigns, and so on, phishing and email attacks are increasing. These attempts present a problem considering that more of our […]

The N-acetyl Cysteine (NAC) Powerhouse

Today I want to discuss N Acetyl Cysteine. To do this, I must first discuss glutathione. I have written about the power of glutathione – an essential antioxidant for immune health and fighting cellular damage. I have written specifically about liposomal glutathione – which is a fat-soluble membrane encapsulating the water-soluble glutathione supplement. Liposomes help […]

The Common Core Question – Things to Consider

Across educational settings, there has been a significant push to standardize. Local interests complain that such efforts rob decision-makers and educational institutions of making relevant and appropriate decisions for their constituency. Arguably, the most significant undertaking of this type has been the advent of the Common Core Standards. Forty-one U.S. states have approved these standards […]

Does Money Make the Leader?

Recently, I was having a conversation about the making of great leaders. During that conversation, I was told: “I don’t have enough money to be a leader.” That comment confused me at first. It got me thinking about the prospect of “creating” a leader and whether money can play a part. While probably not the […]

Arguing with Babies – Don’t Do It. It’s Not Worth It.

As I get older, I find that people get heated more often than not when they cannot find the words necessary to present their position effectively or when they cannot digest or handle the position of another. Then I find myself arguing with someone that doesn’t want to listen to another perspective, and I waste […]

Three Simple Things You Can Do For Better Health

According to the World Health Organization, “The context of people’s lives ultimately determine their health, and so blaming individuals for having poor health or crediting them for good health is inappropriate.“ I agree. That’s a highly accurate way to explain the reality of “health” in our world today. Individuals are unlikely to be able to […]

Perception of Leadership

Time and time again, I am asked: “What do you think makes a great leader?” I’m here to tell you that the answer is often relative. I mean, wouldn’t that be based on your perception? Of course, it would. Great leadership can be hard to wrap your head around when you factor in the “other […]

Apartment Living Security Concerns

In recent years, cities across the country have been experiencing a sort of boom regarding the construction of apartment buildings and other multi-family communities. It’s not hard to see why. When you consider stagnant or even falling wages, increased inflation, higher taxes, rising housing costs, and so on, it doesn’t take much to see that […]

Leadership Development Strategies

I help many people try to figure out better organizational and personal leadership strategies. One of the many things that I teach my students is that there is no difference between life and leadership and that if you can master one, you can probably master the other. Of course, I also teach them that every […]

Leadership and Cybersecurity

Not long ago, I stumbled upon an article in the Harvard Business Review by Alex Blau. In it, he suggested that the leaders of organizations needed to change their perspective on cybersecurity and focus more on risk management. I couldn’t agree more. Whether you are a leader inside an IT department or the leader of an […]
