The Great Game of Business is "the best, most efficient, most profitable way to operate a business" by giving everybody in the company a voice in saying how the company is run and a stake in the financial outcome, good or bad. To some, the idea might seem radical, but this original form of open-book management engages the hearts and minds of all employees, from the front-lines all the way up to the front offices. When employees understand the business, see how they impact the numbers, and have a stake in the outcome, they begin to think and act like owners.

Is your fridge covered with drawings created by your little artistic genius? Do you have boxes full of paintings designed by your mini-Monet? Can't bear to part with these works of art, but don't know what to do with them? Turn them into masterpieces!Combining my love for working with children and graphic design, I created my Pint-Sized Picassos. I turn kids' creations - from the most modest finger paintings to the most elaborate sketches and watercolors - into personalized gallery prints you will be proud to hang in your living room or give as a gift. Every child is an artist, and each project is a masterpiece!
