As business leaders we sometimes get so deep in the weeds of our business operations that we don’t take the time to lift our heads and look at the world around us. It is quite an interesting place when you give it a genuine look. For example, today is one of those fewer known days on the calendar….
Our traditional celebration of Labor Day is now complete. This day of country recognition of the work culture we are all so proud of was built by the strong hands and backs of “We the People.” Our freedoms and the challenges they cause will continue to present themselves. It is incumbent upon each of us to contribute in a positive and productive way to build our future together.
On this holiday in which we celebrate Labor and how it has contributed to the success of this great nation, we at JKL Associates pause and salute those men and women of are armed forces who labor 365 days 24 hours a day to allow us to enjoy the freedoms we have. Today we skip our typical Monday video and ask that you take the next 60 seconds to give thanks and even send up a prayer for the safety of those who labor in our armed services for our benefit.
As we prepare to enjoy the Labor Day weekend, we begin to call a close to the summer and focus on the last business cycle of 2022. Hopefully you and your team have had the opportunity to refresh and recharge your energy over the past couple months.

In this the 21st century we may not need to build the ark to deal with 40 days of rain or even the melting of the polar ice cap, but we may need a new type of ark to keep us safe from drowning in the sea of fallacies spread like flood waters on to each of us daily. In the story of the ark, people laughed at the building but then craved to be on the boat when the rains came. What are you doing to navigate the onslaught of fallacies which are flooding your mind?
Can your ideal customer find you through your brand vocabulary? You might be wondering what brand vocabulary is. It is the words – the nouns, verbs, phrases, and sentences your organization uses to distinguish itself in the marketplace to attract both new and existing customers to your business. It sounds pretty simple but…
The energy buzz of our daily lives gives us little time to stop and take time to enter the room of silence. To block out the noise and actually listen to what is really going on around us. People are almost scared to not have noise in their ears and flashing smartphone screens filling their eyes. Pausing and taking in the nature sounds of the world which are not curated for you is a great way to find not only yourself but to re-experience the world in a whole new way.
Last week the communication spoke about how organizations under pressure may have a weak spot and lower their standards to get through a challenging situation. Although it is a short-term fix or so they think, it can typically become part of the way they operate. This in turn repeats the challenge in new and more dramatic ways pushing them to…
