How often have how we heard the expressions of “What comes around goes around”; You reap what you sow”; “One good turn deserves another”? Yet, what meaning that does truly hold for any of us on a day-to-day basis?

While most people believe in coincidence, happenstance and such, I believe in the Karmic aspect of life. A goodly number of people believe that to mean, for example, by making a contribution to a worthy cause or individual, I expect to be somehow personally rewarded in some fashion. Does this really make it an unconditional gesture? Continue reading →

One of the most powerful characteristics about humankind is the fear and unwillingness to allow change in our lives. This is even where the person sees quite clearly that this change is for only the most positive of reasons. It actually takes courage to permit ourselves, or allow others, to contribute to us in order to enact any change.

Independent studies over the past fifteen years have been conducted in the arena of information management, all of which were independent of one another. However, each study happened to ask one question in common—how much time does an employee spend per day looking for information that they cannot locate? Each study arrived at 60 to 90 minutes per employee per day. Take the low end of the study-60 minutes-now multiply this by the number of employees you have; now multiply this by 22 (working days per month); now multiply this by 12 (months). Continue reading →
