Carts and Horses: What Order are Yours In? Business Development 101

One thing about business development I know to be true is carts and horses. Yes, that’s right carts and horses. More often I am finding new and seasoned entrepreneurs putting their carts before their horses. When we put our carts before our horses, we cannot expect to move forward. First of all the horse is very confused and second, horses are used to pulling rather than pushing. How do I see this cart/horse problem? Well, how about starting a business without having any financial management tools in place? I wonder: How can you know how your business is doing?

Interviewing: Department-Related Questions Top Pharma Pros Should Ask

A critical but common error made by many Pharma applicants is failing to ask questions during job interviews. This is a major mistake because most managers in the pharmaceutical industry have a scientific background and as a result, they expect “questioning behavior”.

Getting the Most out of Public Speaking Classes

One of my favorite Seinfeld monologues is from the episode called "The Pilot." In this episode, Jerry opens his trademark comedy routine with an observation about people's fears, proclaiming that public speaking is most people's number 1 fear, above even death. The punchline, if you don't recall, was that the average person at a funeral thinks they'd be better off in the casket than giving the eulogy. In reality, Seinfeld's observation was only little bit off. According to

Disconnecting from Technology

A couple of weeks ago, just before I took some vacation time, I was chatting with a student about my trip. He asked if I would send him some photos of flowing lava from the active Hawaiian volcano I planned to visit. I told him I would do so when I got back. "Just send them from your phone," he said. "I don't have one with a camera," I answered. "From your laptop, then," he persisted. "I'm not taking one with me." The student, a successful physician, stared at me with slack-j
