Business Etiquette BLOOPERS!
We recently filmed three new video series for Levity University on Business Communications, Behavior, and Dress Code. Fortunately for your viewing pleasure we messed up a lot. Enjoy!
Turning Irritation Into Opportunity
I don’t know you very well, but I’m confident that something soon will annoy you. Annoying things are everywhere – obnoxious family members, slow traffic, stupid rules, pointless meetings, and at least 4 billion other things that collectively make all of us occasionally wonder why we don’t just go find an island somewhere and live…
The Truth About Making Or Breaking A Habit
It’s the end of the year again, which means that once again everybody is going to at least think about making some major life changes. Eat right, exercise, stop smoking, read more, finally buy that walrus you’ve been talking about getting for five years – I don’t know what your particular resolutions are going to…
The Simple Difference Between Effective and Ineffective Visions
One of the most important skills a leader needs to develop is the ability to articulate a vision that employees can attach to and rally around. (Indeed, the word ‘vision’ is such a common part of leadership education that I wouldn’t be surprised if you occasionally have visions about creating a vision.) Having a strong…
What To Work On When Business Is Slow
Every summer I completely understand why tropical countries tend to move at a slower pace than ones further from the equator.

We just wanted to share a few quick clips of what we worked on this year and we hope you had a great 2018, both personally and professionally.
How to Choose A New Business Strategy
Hey everybody! I don’t mean to toot my own horn or anything, but you are looking at the newest board member for the Affordable Housing Authority in my county. And yes I’m aware that you’re not actually looking at me right now, and yes it’s true that didn’t exactly have to beat out 55 other…
How to Compete Against the Internet
I’ve done some preliminary market research, and I’ve learned that the Internet is really popular these days. Have you tried it? Of course you have, unless you live in a re-purposed beaver dam and make all your own clothing out of walrus pelts and alpaca hair. In fact, you couldn’t even be reading this without…
How to Combat Negative Social Media and Google Reviews
Ah, the Internet. It’s one of the greatest inventions in the history of humanity. We can do things today that our ancestors never even thought to dream of. If they could come back and see what we’ve built, they’d think we were gods. Which is why tons of people love using the Internet to complain…
