Hi everyone. I will be promoting my new book Zero Stress Leadership at the Toadstool Bookstore in Keene, NH on March 11, 2017 from 2-3pm. I will present some of the content of the book for 30 or so minutes and then take questions and do some on the spot coaching! I'm truly excited to get my book out there and have people put its principles to work for them in their relationships at work and at home. My book will be for sale and I will personally sign each copy. If you can't attend, the book is for sale at the Toadstool as well as on my website www.zerostressleadership.com Here's the link to the event: http://www.toadbooks.com/event/keene-jeff-saari-presents-zero-stress-leadership

I have heard a few times recently how great the morale is from a senior manager, only to have that refuted by one of the front-line staff to me in private. There seems to be a disconnect between people's perceptions of reality. How can one person think it's great and another not? It's the same...
The Health of a Business
As most people know I am a health and fitness ‘nut’. Before a meeting the other day it occurred to me that the analogy of what you put into your body, and the effect thereof translates to business. On the one hand, if you eat junk food or excessive carbohydrates for instance, you will feel sluggish, tired, and overall fatigued. On the other hand if you don’t eat enough food, your body doesn’t...
