True leaders are rare and unique, but true leaders aren’t always “natural born” leaders. They can be taught to see a moment and seize it or be smart, add their skills to a situation, and lead that way. Anyone can be a leader.

 But here’s the thing—if simplicity is the answer, why does it feel like the world keeps pushing us towards more?

In academia, you’re in a supportive environment where time moves at a more leisurely pace. You’re encouraged to explore, make mistakes, and improve in a nurturing environment. The focus is on growth and learning, and you're given plenty of room to experiment, without much of the pressure of deadlines.

 I’m talking about this odd need for advertisers to verb nouns. To do what now? You ask. To verb nouns. For example, no one out-pizzas the Hut. This little mind-numbing bit of torture is called verbing—the act of taking an innocent noun, ripping it from its regular, universally recognized part of speech, and forcing it, like a cat into a carrying case, into verb status.

Companies are calling employees back to their desks, signaling the end of our remote-work comfort zone. Like the great migration of 1.5 million wildebeest across the Serengeti, we’re preparing for a collective upheaval—a transition back to the office.

But here’s the question: Are morning rituals actually that important? Do they help us get our act together and focus on the day ahead?

When we think of Superman, we don't just think about a man who can fly or lift cars. We think about the embodiment of an ideal—an unattainable but aspirational version of what we, as individuals and societies, could be.

So the big question is: Are there actually groups of people out there who can watch your million-dollar TV ads, see your social media blitz, and say, "Nah, not for me," no matter how brilliant the campaign?

This isn’t about politics or party. A free press is a cornerstone of democracy, ensuring accountability, transparency, and truth for all—no matter where you stand.

In the world of today, the only thing you need to succeed is a smartphone, a decent filter, and a firm belief that your opinion on kale is, in fact, groundbreaking.

Branding has moved from being a simple marketing tool to a powerful force for connection, purpose, and personalization.

One of the primary challenges for marketing agencies is staying ahead of the curve in a world dominated by rapidly evolving technology and AI advancements.

But celebration isn’t just about the event or party; it’s about recognizing the good in our lives, no matter how small. Taking the time to celebrate offers countless benefits for the mind, body, and spirit.

 From influencers with millions of followers to small businesses leveraging the app to reach niche audiences, TikTok’s ban would leave many scrambling for alternatives.

Transparency: the corporate buzzword of the decade. If you believe every About Us page or investor presentation, everyone is transparent these days. It’s the new “innovative”—a word so overused it’s practically meaningless.
