OAS Magazine

Friday, May 11th, 2012

The OAS puts out a magazine called “Americas” and they re-printed an article I wrote some time ago as a blog post.  It had to do with the differences between Jamaicans, Trinidadians and Guyanese employee cultures.

You can find the text of the article here.

 

 

 

 

New in 2012: Time Management for Coaches, Consultants and Managers

Friday, May 4th, 2012

Over at 2Time Labs and MyTimeDesign, I have crafted a new niche to explore in 2012.

Prompted by a post-conference workshop I’m presenting in September at the Institute for Challenging Disorganization, I am finding that there is very little help being provided to those who are tasked with improving the productivity of others.

In the past, it’s boiled down to “Here, read this book.”

To get things rolling, I have written a couple of article for the Sunday Gleaner and the Stepcase Lifehack website.

It’s fascinating to me that no-one has done much to help professionals who don’t know where to start.  In 2012, we’re out to change that.

Recent Gleaner Articles

My bi-weekly column in the Sunday Gleaner Business Section continues to spark decent feedback from different corners.

The last few columns had to do with migration, and I provided some specific advice to both those who are thinking about migrating, and the companies they leave so that we all can take better advantage of what is often seen only as a loss.

Here are the two articles:

Migrating?  Make the Most of It As a Working Professional

How Companies Can Make the Most of Migrating Jamaicans

This was the title of an article I published recently in the Jamaica Gleaner.

Keeping Promises in Business

Friday, January 6th, 2012

This article I wrote on January 5th, 2012 speaks to some of the difficulties faced by our Caribbean tendency to play fast and loose with promises.

Keeping Promises in Business (it’s a Newsday article that neglected to mention my name in the online edition.)
