Which comes first, wisdom or knowledge? Wisdom is built on knowledge. So does that mean you can be both wise and knowledgeable? Then you can't be wise without being knowledgeable. What do you think?

Monday Message
There are days, I believe, some people want to complain. Have you known individuals who are not happy about anything? The message for Monday is as follows:
It only takes a spark!
“The power just went out; I can't see a thing.” “Hang on, I know I have candles somewhere. Oh no, only one match! I hope we can get the candle going with one match.

Leadership Reset…No Way!
Watching the Open golf tournament with my husband and a player hits the ball, it makes it to the green, it rolls and hits the flag, denying a hole in one. What? Wait a minute. I call interference. That should count. My husband only laughs at me. It is no laughing matter; I am sure … Continue reading Leadership Reset…No Way!

Leadership is daily, 365 days a year, … Continue reading ABC’s to Leadership
