On 26 November 1922, after eight years of work in the Valley of the Kings, archeologist Howard Carter discovered the tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen, a pharaoh of the 18th dynasty (around 1300 BCE). Different than all the tombs hitherto excavated, this was the first to be virtually undisturbed, and Carters words on a first look inside "Wonderful things!" have gone down in history. Excavating the tomb in full took eight years, and most of the 5,398 items that were found there are now on display in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, with the exception of the mummy of Tut-Ankh-Amen that remained where it had ...

Every agreement, whether it’s a lease, a job, a relationship, or an unspoken expectation, answers one quiet question: Who actually holds the power here? Through direct observation, lived experience, and plain-spoken reflection, Lucas Warren Howard explores what happens when accountability is ignored, expectations are never clarified, and people confuse intention with structure.

When it comes to effective communication, a wise man once advised, “Be quick to listen and slow to speak.” If ever there was a time to employ such advice, it is today. In our modern society, we are conditioned from youth to expect constant distractions and interruptions. The result is an ever-shortening attention span which is potentially detrimental to our relationships, both social and professional.
