Founder’s Corner – Joseph Paris


Did you ever look at a video clip, or a sound bite, or a picture and it made you uneasy; but you couldn’t quite put your finger on it? Chances are that it made you uneasy because it wasn’t real.
Most attempts are harmless fun, but not all. You are probably being duped and don’t even know it. Find out how you can tell.


… Who has contributed over 100 articles spanning a decade across a wide range of business topics. There will surely be one of relevance and interest to you.


I am Joseph Paris. If I were a super-hero, my super-power would be helping people become high-performing individuals as members of high-performing teams in high-performing organizations.
Organizations from around the world engage my companies and me outright to help them become more resilient and in a “state of readiness”.
In addition, I offer a variety of speaking engagements designed to deliver high-energy and high-impact in shorter duration.
These include; my signature and highly regarded workshop and masterclass, plenary and breakout sessions, keynotes, and conference facilitation roles such as panel moderator or chairperson.

By William Bierce: As a founder, business owner, investor or advisor, you need to develop a strategy for an eventual exit. Without it, you can easily fail to achieve your potential as you face customarily foreseeable conflicts, deadlock, litigation, oppression of minority owners, business disruption, loss of value and even liquidation.  
How do you develop your own framework for smarter exit planning for a future change of ownership, control or management? This article explores the ‘emotional intelligence’ needed for your ongoing business from start to exit. It explores challenges in developing a business owner’s thinking processes affecting personal, family and business life.

They say that “up to 70% of Operational Excellence and Continuous improvement programs fail.”  
Don’t be one of them. Be the exception, not the rule.

Interim Talent
Get the Help You Need…
Sometimes we get caught because of an unplanned separation of an employee who was performing a key role in the company or project. Sometimes we have a short-term need for an experienced specialist to help push through a deliverable.
But time is the enemy. This is not a situation where you can take the time to recruit. The need is now, and help is available.
