House of Cards

People are more savvy and better at playing the game these days, but as any good poker player knows, there is always a tell and someone who can read it!

Its interesting to be a business going through changes and watch the exchanges and interactions, power plays, alliances etc. in action. Old or new there is something at stake for everyone and unfortunately there will be casualties along the way!

The balance lies in how you handle self, communications, compassion in your actions toward others, limit your exposure, protect your public image, bolster your corporate message and weigh the timing of decisions. Its ultimately these things which determine if we the business are worthy of the exchange of money for your labor.

Hopefully we still have a few aces in the deck!

And we're off...
