Recently I’ve been helping my daughter with her math homework. Tonight I sat with her and discussed how she does long division. I was trying to change her mind; to help her understand the right way to do it. She prefers to solve the division problem by trying combinations of multiplication until she comes to […]
Relatively speaking, I read a lot of books. I probably average about 2 books a month and have a healthy backlog of books I still want to read. You can take a look at my reading list to get a better idea of what interests me. That said, there are only a handful of books […]
One of the first things I tell people when I’m beginning to mentor them is that my leadership style, my personality, and the way I interact with people is a direct outcome of my faith.

The last few weeks have been interesting, to say the least. Three weeks ago I recall reading the news about China and this virus oddly named after a beer, or so I thought. Two weeks ago we were advised to begin working remote until further notice, and this week we have an executive order in […]

I remember running to my parents room terrified, hoping they would let me sleep on the floor. I’ll never forget […]
Over the last two decades I have known several people who were promoted into a management position and then decided to step down. I want to describe some of the reasons people leave management positions, and then share some ideas if you find yourself in a similar situation. Leadership is not a Trade I described […]
नमस्ते मीरा नाम जोश है। मैं आज एक साल हिंदी पढ़ना है। हिंदी, तेलगु नहीं, हिंदी-इंग्लिश नहीं हिंदी। मैं हरा दिन डुओलिंगो पढ़ना है. आज दिन ३६५ पढ़ना है। मैं क्यों हिंदी परत चाहिये? एक: मेरे टीम में लोग भारत कई। मैं उन्हें पढ़ना चाहिये। डो: मैं पढ़ना चाहिये। तीन: हिंदी दुनिया में शीर्ष पांच […]
