Wandering Into Wisdom

This blog chronicles the knowledge, insight and wisdom I encounter every day as a leadership consultant, executive coach, educator, father, friend and citizen. This site is dedicated to my father, Louis (Jack) Laughlin, who passed on to me an appreciation for wisdom. A special thanks to my friend Isaac Cheifetz, a businessman and journalist, who helped me understand the value of blogs and encouraged me to write one.

Not What It Seems*

My son plays Lacrosse and I recently discovered that the primary function of a mouth guard is not to prevent injury to the teeth but to prevent concussions. Teeth slamming together during a fall is actually a major cause of concussions. While I was learning Spanish I came across the word constipada. You can guess what that means but you’d be wrong. It refers to nasal congestion. Sometimes things are just not what they seem.
