  The Role of Truth!

  Jan 21^st at 12PM Central Time

  2025 ended with 19 ways to lie.  The focus of 2026 will be on Innovation; however, Judy will begin with the Role of Truth.  Truth?  Whose Truth?  What is Truth?  How does truth foster innovation?  How might truth be used to improve and sustain organizational and individual performance?

  2025 perpetuated a lot of information claiming to be truth in established news outlets and on social media.  However, after examination much of the shared information was actually mis-leading, inaccurate, and biased toward perpetuating yet another lie.    

  So, please join Judy in exploring how to hone our critical skills so we can build a future that is kinder, healthier, and environmentally sustainable.  Register now.
