Corporate Essentials Celebrates 10 years of Success: Coffee Expert Judson Kleinman Turns Gourmet Beverage Trend into Growing Business
In the early 1990s, Judson Kleinman was working in sales and service for a corporate beverage division of Hershey Foods, Inc., when he spotted what he thought was an emerging trend: Corporate workers were becoming disenchanted by the usual break room fare, and began asking for better quality gourmet coffee, tea and other refreshments from their employers.
"I've always been an entrepreneur at heart," Kleinman recalls. "And I had been in the corporate refreshment business since college, so I knew that what was happening was most likely the beginning of a long-term shift in the industry." Capitalizing on that shift, and realizing his aspiration to start his own business, Kleinman formed Corporate Essentials ten years ago. While the business, like any other, has experienced both challenges and triumphs along the way, Kleinman has established himself over the past decade as one of the leading experts in the office coffee and refreshment industry -- and Corporate Essentials as the premiere source for corporate refreshments in the New York metro area.

Is the Time Change Leaving You Frazzled, Frenetic, or in a Funk?
Change. The very word can strike fear in the heart of many - and not in a spare-change-found-in-between-the-cushions-of-the-couch sense, but as in "it is time to make some changes" or "things are going to change around here" or "change of plans." Even something as seemingly simple as the change to daylight savings time can leave many of us feeling frazzled, frenetic or just in a funk. According to David Malin, a renowned healer and expert in coping with change, "Change - whether a time change, career or relationship change, transitioning into retirement, moving, growing older, parenting, or trying to break a habit - can be fraught with challenges. When facing change, it is important to remember that in spite of the struggle, change presents a remarkable opportunity for self-discovery, healing and growth."
