Ed Henkler shares a couple stories from the book called The Dream Manager. It is a narrative illustrating how companies can achieve extraordinary outcomes by investing in their employees's personal and professional fullfillment. Ed is a social entrepreneur who is passionate about improving the quality of life and employability of people who are blind or visually-impaired. He believes there is a business ROI to hire people with disabilities.

Change is something we all experience. Sometimes it is positive and others not so great. A recent survey showed the 85% of executives see explosive change happening in the coming year, but in the past they reported that 72% failed. That is alarming. If you know change is happening and you are doing the same thing - you can expect the same results. That has to change!

At the same time, there is a hidden candidate market composed of terrific candidates who are often overlooked by employers. These candidates include veterans, military spouses, people with disabilities, and other underserved populations. Great candidates who struggle to connect with employers for a variety of reasons and tend to be more loyal when given an opportunity. Their cognitive diversity also strengthens your team.

Wade Fulton shares about automation and AI in the home and office. There are new things coming out it seems daily to make our lifes easier and better. What used to be expensive or out of reach is no longer. Wade opens our eyes to new tools that make your environment more effective and functional. Wade Fulton, a Nashville native, is passionate about helping people get the most our oftoday’s latest technology. After spending 15 years in sales and marketing in the healthcare sector, Wade decided he was ready for a change. That’s when he went to work for Apple, working on the Business Team to help businesses integrate Apple products into a Windows-dominant work environment. He left Apple in 2012 to pursue a career as an Apple Consultant.

After guiding countless business and individuals to a world of working smarter, not harder, he saw an opportunity to go way beyond Macs, iPhones, and iPads. The market was getting flooded with “home control systems”—some were decent options, but many of the ‘solutions’ were simply falling short of their promise to make your home simple to control.

That’s when Wade founded The Fulton Group in 2015 to expand his services beyond Apple Consulting to designing easy-to-use audio/video/theater/control systems. A designer at heart with degrees in Graphic Design, Photography, and Art History from Savannah College of Art & Design, Wade was able to embrace his passion for design and take a new approach to the ‘smart home’ market. Most people don’t consider how they will use their home until construction is complete. Unfortunately, builders, homeowners, contractors, etc. don’t think about Wi-Fi, whole-house audio, control, motorized shades, and lighting design until it’s too late.

The Fulton Group prides themselves in being an essential part of the design process. They work with homeowners, business owners, builders, designers and more to ensure the end-product results in a space that is state-of-the-art with built-in and invisible speakers, hidden TVs, elegant lighting, and more—all built on a solid, stable, and fast Wi-Fi network and the world’s most advanced control system. All of this allows you to live or work in Iron Man’s house.
