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...
Professional Development
Is the grass always greener?
One of my clients came to me because they were ready to do something new. They'd been at their company for a long time and they were ready to go elsewhere. We went through my Clarity Bootcamp (a program I do to help you figure out what you want) and they decided they...
Does time off work stress you out?
From a macro level when you're planning your workload be realistic about what you can manage. Know that you will have sick days and vacation days and holidays. When you're planning your time off plan your schedule to reduce as much as possible beforehand.Last weekend...
