Recently, I was at a networking event and I heard something that really stood out to me:  We think in pictures and speak words This is so true. When I want a bagel, I see an image of a bagel in my mind, not the letters b-a-g-e-l.  On Facebook, I have seen a couple of my blogger boos asking people to respond to...

It is 9:15 AM on a Monday morning and I am running late to work. Did I wake up late? No. Did I set your alarm? Yes. Just couldn't muster the energy to move quicker to actually arrive on time. Sadly, this not the first time I have been late to work. In reality, I haven't been on time for...

It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure." - Colin Powell   What does success look like to you?   We all have specific images of what success looks like.

Since tomorrow is Father's Day, I thought it was fitting to reflect on the advice I learned from strong male leaders in the past and present, that I truly respect.

Over and over again, I hear people using their feelings as vindication for why they can or can't do something. This got me thinking about the danger of our "feelings" getting in the way of our success.  In fact, Joyce Meyer's book Living Beyond Your Feelings was SUPER helpful in addressing this very important issue.  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It is easy to let...
