It's ONLY Wednesday...Are You "Facing the Giants"?

Do you ever have one of those mornings? You know the kind I'm talking about. You don't want to get up, you're running late, the coffee doesn't seem to be doing it's thing and then on your drive to work, you realize that it's only WEDNESDAY!

I know....are you depressed yet? Then you get to work, turn on your computer, and begin to check all of the emails that arrived after you left work on Tuesday.  As I'm scrolling through the dozen or so emails I noticed one from a friend. He was actually sending a YouTube video for my son to watch, but I have to admit it's a great video from a movie that I had seen quite awhile ago.

It's a great "WEDNESDAY" morning boost and I wanted to share it with you. Even if you aren't a great sports fan, it contains a great message so I hope you will enjoy the following six minute clip from "Facing the Giants."

I’d like to draw your attention to a recent blog post by Eric Shepherd, CEO of Questionmark, on the subject of “Assessment Security and How To Reduce Fraud.”

In this post on his blog, Eric describes what motivates fraudulent behavior and explains some common methods and processes to help you minimize and eliminate it from your assessments. He references the “Fraud Triangle” created by famed criminologist Donald Cressey to explain why people commit fraud. Eric examines the three elements in the triangle: Motivation, Rationalization and Opportunity. He also offers some practical tips for deterring fraud.
