How To Effectively Use A Business Simulation In Today’s Business Acumen Training – In full disclosure, I build and facilitate business simulations that are used within leadership development and other training programs globally. With that said, I’m often asked, “What is the best way to use a business simulation within business acumen training?” This is a good question, and the answer isn’t as easy as one might think. This might sound strange, but using a business simulation within business acumen training is not always a great idea. Yes, these tools are extremely engaging and can help effectively reinforce the business acumen training. But these tools can also turn into an unmanageable distraction that can turn perfectly good business acumen training into a program of mass confusion. (from Forbes)

How Having Entrepreneurial Parents Refined My Own Business Acumen – My parents were small-business owners and entrepreneurs, yet I didn’t fully appreciate or understand just how much they taught me until I had my own business. My parents were a bit unconventional growing up. To start with, my mom worked. For perspective, in the 1970s, she was the only working mom I knew — none of my friends’ moms had jobs let alone a career. My parents were also small-business owners with a few different irons in the fire. My dad was an insurance agent who took over the business from his father-in-law and ran it until he died in 2018. My parents bought a travel agency and ran that for 25 years until travel agencies pretty much went extinct, a casualty of the internet. And my mom ran a business that rented villas in Jamaica for most of that time as well. (from Entrepreneur)
