The Power of Self-Worth
Let’s face it: in today’s fast-paced, hyperconnected world, it’s easy to feel like we’re always falling behind.

Being Present
Have you ever been in a conversation with someone and one of the two of you are either reading emails, looking at your phones or daydreaming about what you have to do next and where you would rather be?

Asking for help means you aren’t smart enough to do something yourself. Asking for help means that you are weak. Asking for help means you are in the wrong position in business. Have you heard any of those statements before? They seem to follow us generation after generation and decade after decade. It’s time to […]
Your Most Powerful Tool Is Your Mind…
If you are old enough to remember floppy disks, syntax errors, bits and bytes and Dos, you will also remember thinking and wondering why you didn’t get every piece of information that you needed pouring out at your request.
