RESULTS OR DECK CHAIRS?

Posted on April 5, 2021 by Lorrie Tietze

Posted on March 1, 2021 by Lorrie Tietze
Whenever we are asked what we think about something, we naturally think back to our experiences.  Those experiences form our perspective on a topic and consequently, our answer when asked a question.  Additionally, we tend to feel like our perspective is ‘the norm’ or ‘the mainstream’.  We make assumptions and judgements based on that perspective.

CLEARING OUT LEFTOVERS

Posted on December 6, 2020 by Lorrie Tietze
Every year around this time I do a reflection of the past year.  What worked?  What didn’t work?  Where were good results produced?  What do I need to do better in the next year?  I strive to keep the analysis balanced between acknowledgement of success and acknowledgement of improvement.  But as I reflected on 2020,

MAKING UP YOUR OWN MIND

Posted on October 30, 2020 by Lorrie Tietze
Albert Einstein said “Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.”  But what is the truth?  How is it determined?  In this era of calling everything that doesn’t agree with your position as fake, it is important to consciously think about what you believe.  It is also important

Posted on October 5, 2020 by Lorrie Tietze
I have worked out of my home office for nearly 20 years.  My boundaries have always been pretty good between when I work and when I do not work.  However, during this COVID-19 time, I discovered that what had helped maintain my boundaries was business travel.  Once I was home full-time and working remotely, I

MY INCOMPLETE AND FALSE EDUCATION

Posted on July 2, 2020 by Lorrie Tietze
How much of what we have learned about the past is incomplete or isn’t true?  Even the quote ‘History is written by the winners’ is incomplete.  While the quote is attributed to Winston Churchill there is little evidence that this is his original quote.  Knowing whether or not you can rely on what you learned
