Interview with Greg Voisen on Inside Personal Growth
January 26th, 2012 // 10:14 am @ M.H. Nicholas
I really enjoyed my interview with author Mark Nicholas about his new book entitled ” I Come First-How the Individual Ego Rules Every Business Decision“.

September 3rd, 2011 // 8:52 am @ M.H. Nicholas
Embrace politics, both the good (yes, politics is mostly good) as well as the bad, as part of a core study of human behavior and the group dynamic. I recognize that there is a process people must go through in order to make the “right” decision, and the ability to effectively assert oneself to achieve goals – both corporate and personal – is essential to the decision making process.

This is an introduction, but we will chat further about the things that we did right and wrong, and the lessons learned.
