We would all like to have the ability to see around corners so that we know what is coming at us. This is especially true in business with all the consistent change in our ever evolving business marketplace.

In my interview with Rita McGrath the author of a new book entitled ” Seeing Around Corners-How to Spot Inflection Points In Business Before they Happen” she provides glimpses into how we can be better at seeing what she refers to as “inflection points”.

In this podcast interview with author and coach Pamela Mitchell we speak about her book "The 10 Laws of Career Reinvention" in which she guides us through how to navigate the ever changing landscape of the job markets.

"Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” – Marcel Proust.

This is a wonderful quote in the opening of May Mc Carthy’s new book “The Gratitude Formula-A 7 Step Success System to Create A Life that You Love“. It is something to contemplate and really instrospect about, what and who make you happy, and what are you grateful for in your life everyday?

In my recent interview with Rich Karlgaard, the publisher of Forbes Magazine, we discussed his new book entitled "Late Bloomers – The Power of Patience in a World Obsessed with Early Achievement". Rich argues that our obsession with early achievement runs counter to our psychological and neurological development. This is not only damaging to individuals, but to society as a whole.

We all know that there are only two important emotions, love and fear. If we come from fear we are often coming from a position of contraction and defensiveness. If we allow our love to be experienced we can have a lasting effect on everyone we meet and the work we passionately embrace.

This is the premise of author and my guest on this podcast Steve Farber. Steve is the author of a new book entitled " Love is Just Damn Good Business-Do What you Love in Service of People Who Love What you Do". As we all know love has a reputation as the softest of all topics, and is what many people think they must suppress to become successful. But the cultures of today's leading companies suggest that the opposite is true: Love is, in fact a hardcore business principle that is essential to leading winning organizations and to elevate the customer experience to new heights.
