What does teamwork really look like?

Since I’m at the Paris Olympics, I’m not thinking too much about the workplace, but I can’t help but see sportsmanship on the field the same way I see teamwork in an office.

My Second Les Nouvelles Article

I’ve been a big fan of Licensing Executives Society International (LESI), a global organization for licensing executives. As a member since the early 2000s, I’ve benefited so much from the industry discussion and expertise from others in the licensing field.

Do you believe in serendipity?

Do you believe in serendipity? I certainly do. I’ve experienced it many times in my life, and my most recent moment happened on May 7 on a Delta Air Lines flight from Atlanta to Baltimore. I was supposed to be in the back of the plane. But to my delight, I was upgraded to economy […]
