Pricing emerges as the most underestimated engine of business growth—shaping positioning, profitability, and long-term competitiveness far more directly than marketing or product enhancements.

Yet between these extremes lies sufficiency—the golden mean where gratitude, presence, and...

In a world that rewards performance over presence, many live divided between the face they show and the truth they hide.
