After 20 years of proudly wearing my white collar, after ingesting dozens of business success book, after encountering hundreds, if not thousands, of folks like me, stuck somewhere in Cubeland, positioned somewhere on the ladder that spans failure and success, I discovered that the book I really needed hadn’t been written, a book that was honest, funny, and poked well-deserved fun at everything that is life in a corporate world. So, I wrote that book and called it White Collar Warrior.

“He’s between a rock and a hard place because he’s got to make elephants dance.”

“There is an 800 pound gorilla in the room and that’s because we can’t find the pony in this thing.”

“I don’t believe the research. (That thing) is only for women or men who want to be women.”

A: “Ideation is the product of brainstorming.”

B: “No it’s not. Ideation is brainstorming.”

A: “I’ve got an idea. Go fuck yourself.”
