    “Stealth” Mentorship

    ByJoseph Paris July 25, 2019December 30, 2020

    I would find it hard to believe that any successful person achieved that success without having at least one mentor along their journey – someone who was instrumental and influential in the life journey of the person being mentored (the mentee).  But what is mentorship?

    Transformation vs Disruption

    Have CIA Operatives Infiltrated Your Business?

    ByJoseph Paris August 12, 2016December 30, 2020

    Do you ever wonder why things don’t get done as quickly as they should?  Do things get lost in the shuffle?  Perhaps you find that you have to more closely supervise the people who are supposed to be doing the work?  Are decisions never made because they are perpetually being discussed?  Does work stop because…
