Fraud: Is Your Business At Risk?
Reverend Bobby thought it a bit strange when his wife, with her hand cupped over the phone, said that Sargent Willis was on the line and had some questions. Sargent Willis wasn’t a member of his congregation and the last time he could remember he had never had any cause for the police to want to ask him questions.

Two Key Points in Handling Sibling Rivalry
As a parent of siblings, I am lucky that my daughter is a peacemaker. Her observant way of being in the world allows her to understand her younger brother, who is a ball of emotion. However, there are days in our home when our daughter loses her impressive patience, and the two end up in a fight. As a parenting and child development expert, I generally know how to handle these moments of rivalry, but as a parent I understand how excruciating and off putting they can feel.

If It Sounds Too Good To Be True…
You’ve probably gotten one of these in the mail like my wife did recently. It’s an invitation from a complete stranger to join them for dinner at a high end restaurant. In this case we can even pick between Jack’s Steakhouse, Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse or Mitchell’s Fish Market. We can even bring friends with us. Free food at a fancy restaurant, sign me up!

When Good People Make Bad Choices: The Human Side of Ethics
“Never in my wildest dreams did I see this coming. When I first started “borrowing” from the company I had every intent of paying back what I took.

Years ago, as a fledgling entrepreneur, I was having lunch with a man I respected as a mentor in my life. Bert had grown up in Newfoundland and in his words “had ventured out to Western Canada in the late 1960’s to work in the oil patch with nothing more than the shirt on his back and $20 in his pocket.” You only had to have one coffee with Bert to recognize that he was a man blessed with an entrepreneurial mindset and the drive and energy to get him to wherever it was that he wanted to get to.
