A Website is the cheapest salesperson you can hire! Yup. The statement above is a fact. If you google a salespersons salary the results show around $48K-$100K per year. Have you ever imagined paying this for a website? Absolutely not! What if you can get a website(your salesperson who works 24/7) for quarter the price(even lesser)? Wouldn’t you grab that deal? One another big issue with businesses is that they describe a brand as a logo. Read more>>

I think people have grown tired of the overt social media marketing strategies. You log on to see what your friends are up to, and you wind up bombarded by targeted advertising. There’s so much of it, so often, that people are just rapidly scrolling through their feeds trying to find something of actual interest. My approach is different. In today’s “attention economy,” businesses no longer need to sell you something. They just need to be able to get your attention. Read more>>

What I see Corporate America getting wrong with my industry is that they don’t see the true value of how a well-placed ‘punchline’ can happily increase their ‘bottom-line”. This fact was brought to light when I was performing improv comedy with the legendary OxyMoronZ Improvisational Comedy Troupe in Scottsdale. After some shows I was approached by a company that needed entertainment for an upcoming event. I was usually offered a couple hundred dollars to walk around a function as maybe a 6’ 2″ chicken or some character for a couple of hours. Not bad pay, however it was not funny, nor did it have any residual value for the company or its attendees. This was my ‘AH-HA’ moment and the beginning of many wonderful experiences and frustrations. Read more>>

I am in the industry of career building, life coaching, and leadership. Corporate America has made working more complex than it has to be. There are tons of amazing jobs out there, however with poor management they have ruined great employees. There aren’t any actual trainings available other than it being a norm to come in and just work a 9-5 which makes most dread working and feeling stuck or complacent. Read more>>

Corporate America often does not address the importance of the contaminants that affect our indoor air quality. For instance, a new home is built and all the building materials are place in this seal tight home. The owners move in and in months, sometimes years they find themselves dealing with allergy type symptoms. Why, because this home does not allow for fresh air to come in, leaving all the contaminants for the new homeowners to breath in and the results are allergy type symptoms, medications, etc. Read more>>

Our mission at InteraWorks is “Elevating the Human Experience at Work.” We believe that the workplace and business models of the last century are outdated. The paradigms they created are outdated. The dogma and doctrine based on these models is inadequate for the challenges we face. We believe we need to shift these paradigms and shift them quickly. The dogma I am speaking of is linear, cause and effect – that the future can be predicted based on the past. That organizational hierarchies based in left-brain attributes of command and control are effective. Read more>>

Corporate culture will often label professionals in the spiritual community, such as psychics, as disadvantageous and even view the ideology and practices we hold as unprofessional. This point of view causes the bulk of Corporate America to avoid building professional relationships within the spiritual community as if they are intellectually inferior to us as professionals. I believe that many companies could benefit from working together in areas such as on-boarding and location scouting. Yet, our community is often viewed with much skepticism. Read more>>
