Let’s make it easy

Let’s make it easy

One of the reasons I wanted to do last week's panel on personal brand is that while it can make a huge impact, you can actually make some easy changes once you start to think about it. And yes, you can also make it hard, but that's not what we're about.   So, I...

2024 books so far

2024 books so far

I made a decision last year as I was writing up my 2023 best books list (and tv and movies) that I was going to at least write down the books that I had read each quarter so it wouldn't be such a slog at the end of the year. I missed the first quarter so I promised...

Book it, here are some good reads 📚

Book it, here are some good reads 📚

Your career path is up to you

Your career path is up to you

I had decided I was done with my job (years ago). The company was bought out by another company. Things hadn't been going well. And the direction of the company was changing. For me, it didn't seem like a good thing.   So I got up the courage to tell my boss. My...

Ain’t nobody got time for that

Ain’t nobody got time for that

One thing I think we're all aware of is the limitation of time. And we've probably all heard the expression it's not that you don't have time for something it's that you haven't prioritized it. Ok true.   But what do we do when we find that we don't have enough...
