Now more than ever, organizations such as ours can play a vital part in our collective ability to adjust to the ever-changing world around us.

10/20/2020

by Ken Warman, Founder, The Leader's Evolution
​

Professionals who have demonstrated strong technical expertise in their chosen field often find themselves thrust into leadership roles. For those who have excelled at complex, technical work throughout high school, college, graduate school and the workforce, the new leadership role may come with unfamiliar challenges. How do you shift from being a technical expert and evolve to become a complete leader?

Setting Your Sights On a New Beginning

10/15/2020

 
Picture
By John Allen Mollenhauer, JAM
Some years ago, I read one of the most pivotal books of my life, and one of the top 50 books of all time called “Transitions” by William Bridges. I was going through a tough time that somewhat paralleled the challenges of 2020 and was having a particularly rough time with changing and establishing a new momentum.  
I think that experience is relevant, meaningful, and actionable for us now.

Six Big Myths about Virtual Selling

10/15/2020

 
Picture
By Cal Thomas, Sandler Training
Virtual selling is nothing new. It has been around for years. What’s happening now is that more and more sales teams are getting good at it!  The old distinction between “field sales” and “inside sales” is an increasingly irrelevant one. Today, the most effective and productive sales teams see themselves as 
remote sales professionals. This is also sometimes known as virtual selling...but whatever you call it, it’s a central requirement of success in most markets.

Does Your Grantor Trust Still Make Sense?

10/12/2020

 
Picture
by Porzio Bromberg & Newman, P.C.
​
What is a Grantor Trust? A “Grantor Trust” is a trust where the person who created the trust (the grantor) continues to pay the income taxes on the trust’s income even though the grantor does not receive any benefit from the trust. A “Non-Grantor Trust” is a separate taxpayer from the grantor and responsible for its own income taxes. ​

Coming Home

Wendy Long’s first day as director of member relations at the Morris County Chamber of Commerce was the day Gov. Phil Murphy ordered all non-essential businesses to shut in response to the COVID-19 virus, including the chamber. Welcome to your new job, Wendy. Fortunately for  her – and for the chamber members who have since been seeing a lot of her – Long has enjoyed a long relationship with the chamber and was able to hit the ground running even during a pandemic.

Stories That Define Success

10/4/2020

 
Picture
When Tina Cervasio visited Morris County recently to speak at a business luncheon, she was unsure of what to say. The lead sports anchor and reporter for Good Day New York on WNYW-Fox 5 and host of the weekly show “Sports Extra” felt a bit ill-suited to address a business audience.  So she told stories – and those stories defined success. Cervasio served as the keynote speaker at a luncheon of the Women in Business Program of the Morris County Chamber of Commerce, held at the Westin Governor Morris in Morristown. ​

Fulfilling Their Mission During Coronavirus

10/4/2020

 
Picture
P​rior to COVID-19 hitting New Jersey, Nourish NJ of Morristown each week served nearly 1,500 free onsite breakfasts and lunches and gave away approximately 12,500 pounds of take-home food. While the virus shut down many facets of life in New Jersey, hunger was not one of them. Nourish NJ had to scramble to continue fulfilling its mission of feeding the hungry and providing ancillary services, such as mental health, housing and employment services. ​

Cleaning Up COVID-19

10/4/2020

 
Picture
It’s a dirty job – thank goodness they do it. Though perhaps not the most glamorous work, every day Morris County remediation, disaster recovery and commercial cleaning firms perform vital functions for residents and businesses, and their work became even more essential with the COVID-19 pandemic. While continuing to provide mold inspection and removal, fire and water damage recovery and commercial cleaning services, these firms also ramped up their virus disinfectant efforts in response to the coronavirus. ​

Open for Business - Virtually

10/4/2020

 
Picture
Then the lights went out. On Saturday, March 21, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy ordered the closure of all non-essential businesses statewide in a bid to enforce social distancing guidelines to fight the spread of COVID-19. On Monday morning, countless businesses were entirely closed, many of their employees furloughed or laid off. Yet many businesses remained in operation, with employees working from home. The world of doing business virtually had begun. ​
