So often, disparate emotions and experiences co-exist; goodness and sadness; birth and death; confidence and fear; loss and gain. It’s how life rolls.

As I write a post celebrating ten years in business, I am less than 50 feet from my original perch, where I doodled, mind-mapped, and talked myself into building the confidence to step out on my own. Between those days and now, more has changed than has stayed the same. That’s life, though. Some change […]
2020: A Year of Grit, Dedication, and Achievements

Are You Obsessed with Social Influence?
Have you watched ‘The Social Dilemma’ on Netflix? If not, add it to your list and watch it when you have time to pay attention. Put down your phone, your laptop, and watch closely. There is not a week that goes by that someone doesn’t ask how they can beat LinkedIn’s algorithm, post at the […]

It’s mid-November in Maryland. It’s chilly. Would you swim outside in the cold? I think, metaphorically, some of us feel like that’s exactly what we’re doing— and it’s not comfortable.
