Stephen M. Paskoff, Esq. (President) Posted on 12-15-2009 at 12:24 PM

Tiger Woods has been the premier sports brand for the past several years. We’ve wanted our businesses to perform like he plays golf, our kids to behave the way he acts, and our commitment and intensity to approach his impossible standards.

Out of the Locker Room

Stephen M. Paskoff, Esq. (President) Posted on 10-28-2009 at 11:30 AM

Stephen M. Paskoff, Esq. (President) Posted on 10-07-2009 at 04:08 PM

Stephen M. Paskoff, Esq. (President) Posted on 07-15-2009 at 03:00 PM

I just returned from a fantastic bike trip in France with my daughter, Rebecca, and my first cousin Craig, her godfather. We biked along the coast of Normandy and saw where our courageous soldiers stormed the treacherous beachheads to begin the D-Day invasion.

Changing Business Culture: Doing the Heavy Lifting

Tucker Miller, Esq. (ELI Instructor, Regional Consultant) Posted on 05-02-2008 at 11:25 AM
