'There’s nothing quite like getting some face-to-face time with an MC expert, and our Group Bootcamps get rave reviews. We work with top schools (this week alone we’re at Duke, Yale, Harvard, and Wharton – not too shabby). But what if your school doesn’t offer these programs (yet) – and you want to come spend 1 power day to focus on breaking into consulting – with emphasis on networking, fit interviews, and most of all, case interviews?

'The hard part about pursuing a new idea is not the idea itself. There are thousands of good ideas shared every day online for free. Nor is it the risk of financial failure since it is easier than ever to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start again. The real risk that the trail blazers face is a social one. Humans are social animals, and charting a new course necessarily means forming new relationships and investing less time in existing ones.

'I get asked this question often: “How can I convince management that it’s in our best interest to invest in a crisis plan?” It’s hard to be the middle person, especially when you see the value in something and know it would be in the organization’s best interest, but have an uphill battle in trying to help upper management see that same value.

'If you’re a business owner in 2014, it’s doubtful that you’ve not been affected by online reviews – whether positively, negatively, or both. Even if you’ve received overwhelmingly positive reviews and ratings online, it’s important to realize that no business is immune from negative reviews, including false and defamatory postings. If no business is immune, how do you deal with negative reviews?

'It is amusing reading day in and day out the Keynesian cure for what ails Europe, especially France. Consider France. Public spending amounts to 57% of French GDP, yet Keynesians want still more. The sad irony is that 100% would not be enough. In fact, it would make matters worse. France suffers from too much government spending and too much government interference everywhere one looks.
