How do you take notes in a training class? It was a fun trick I discovered as a new trainer. I usually got it right to the mild amusement of my learners. Years later, I was chastened to learn my hocus-pocus wasn't real.

Most think a customer crisis isn’t going to happen to them or that they will be able to manage it when it does with their business-as-usual approach.

Leaves and needles fall, and the bark drops off, leaving great tracts of tall, dead stumps. It is a dismal sight and has been cited as a reason why Germany is one of the most environmentally conscious countries in the world.
