Finding the Humor

Sometimes we find ourselves in situations that are very uncomfortable, annoying, or painful. Most of the time if we act on impulse we will hurt ourselves and those we are in communication with. Usually, the best thing is to take a deep breath and think for a few seconds. In these few seconds, we can see the situation from a different angle that can lead to instantaneous jokes that can remove weirdness and negative emotions. This creates less conflicts and more laughter.

Business, Geography, and the Location Advantage

We use maps and geography in our personal lives every day- to find where we are going, to understand weather patterns, local traffic patterns, or far-away places. So, why then wouldn’t we use maps and geography in our business every day? We can use geography to help us better understand the marketplace, potential risk, or to improve our supply chain. Geography influences these and many other important business decisions. This is what we call “the location advantage”.
