Start every day with gratitude for every single thing. I know that this isn’t easy, however if we live every day feeling frustrated by all the things that aren’t working in our lives or that upset us, we can’t get the good stuff. Trust me on this one. Start out every day by waking up […]
I don’t like conflict. Ironically, in my work as a career coach I’m asked to coach many teams who are mired in conflict and can’t seem to find their way out of it. While it’s challenging, I’m honored to have the opportunity to help anyone let go of negative energy and work towards a healthy […]
