𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸 What a thrill to sit at a piano that Elvis Presley played. The King of Rock and Roll tickled these ivories to record more than 200 songs at RCA Studio B in Nashville. And some of his early hits were taped on a single track. That meant the recording session wasn’t over until everyone in the room performed perfectly at the same time. Talk about creativity, collaboration, commitment, and attention to detail. Harnessing that kind of “one-track” energy in today’s multi-track, fast-paced world could certainly produce some major hits in your branding and marketing efforts.

𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗔𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱 Since it’s Women’s History Month, this sign at an antique market – “Evaluation Center For Disturbed Women, Ward B” – hit a nerve. Yes, we women are “disturbed” about how we are treated at home, at work, and in the world at large. While much has changed for women since these signs adorned the walls of former mental wards, much has remained the same or worsened for those of us with two X chromosomes. If you think I’m mocking mental illness, I’m going to stop you right there. This medical condition is common and can affect nearly 1 in 5 U.S. adults, according to the American Psychiatric Association. My sister – may her memory be a blessing – lived with an intellectual disability and bipolar disorder. She resided in a group home and often stayed at a psychiatric ward to get her medication right. As we celebrate women this month, stop talking about the past. Look ahead and start talking about solutions to disturbing trends. Think about what you can do as an individual, a company, and a country to show you value, appreciate, include, and respect women.
