What makes a teacher great? I have to admit that I benefitted greatly from wonderful teachers who worked hard, were not paid much, but invested plenty in me. Interestingly, I had more fruitful personal teacher interactions when I went to public school versus when I went off to […]
Today marks 101 days straight of writing. Some days have been easier. On other days, it’s been quite a struggle to string a sentence together. Lately, my brain has been a tad bit foggy. Simple tasks such as writing my name down on a clipboard at the radiology […]
Back in college, I had a lot of academic interests. Although, there was never any question that psychology would be my major. My major major. I ended up with a double major with political science. I know I was a major nerd, geek, or whatever other term that […]

What do you see? Better yet what does it mean? As a manager I find I’m actually quite good at reading the intentions of others. Occasionally, I have a misfire but for the most part I am pretty spot on. I suppose it helps that I am a psychologist. I’ve […]
