(aka Colemans Rule!) So my house flooded last month, because why not. And not just my house, but several thousand of them where I live. You may have seen it on the news – a dam broke about 30 miles north of where I live and forced an immediate evacuation of about 10,000 families immediately…

How Should You Respond To A Crisis?

Jeff Havens — Mon, 02 Mar 2020 16:49:19 +0000

Ah, crisis. It’s a fun word to say, but that’s the only fun thing about it. Crisis brings massive uncertainty, and we generally don’t deal well with that. Besides, crises often bring the potential for something significantly negative without offering the potential for something positive. We call it risk when things might end well but…

7 Reasons Your Employees Don’t Respect You!

Jeff Havens — Mon, 20 Jun 2016 11:22:36 +0000

First off, I’m sorry nobody respects you. It’s bad enough to need employees in the first place, since all they seem to do is ask for money you would much rather spend on nicer things for yourself. But to have to deal with that and their lack of respect is really more than any human…

If you’ve seen Jeff speak before, then you know that his rapid-fire combination of high caliber education and world class entertainment is wonderfully effective. But maybe you’re not the only decision maker, and everyone else on the committee is going to need some convincing. Unfortunately, experience has taught a lot of people to think that…
