Enjoying Your Work
May 26, 2014
Do you enjoy your work? Surprisingly, many people say that they do not. Why is that? Is work supposed to be onerous and miserable? Or can it be meaningful and fulfilling?
Not all work is perfect all the time of course. But shouldn't our work be something we enjoy, at least the majority of the time?
This video blog uses a woman working in the florist department of a big box grocery store as an example of how we can enjoy our work. At least most of the time!

Who is Responsible for Good Jobs?
December 30, 2013

Everyone who works is an entrepreneur, and whether or not a job is a "good job" depends on who is looking at it.

November 18, 2013
What do you think when someone tells you they're a consultant? Is it an honorable profession, or more in company with lawyers and used car salesmen? In this Blog Martin Ramsay tells why he sees himself as a consultant -- and why you should, too.
(And, by the way, lawyers and used car salesmen have honorable professions as well. It is all in how you conduct yourself and your own personal integrity.)
