In most of my email correspondence, I’m rather polite and somewhat sunny. I wish people a good day, morning, Friday eve and so forth. It’s fluff. Not straight to the point. However, you get a little bit more buy in when you start off with warmer pleasantries than […]
I don’t know who needs to hear this. I don’t know who needs to repeat this over and over again. Here’s the deal. I bring too much to the table to be treated like a napkin. I have earned a seat at the table. I am full of […]
Sadly, many people define themselves by their job title or salary. I say sadly because we are all so much more than that. Even as a CEO, I don’t define myself necessarily by that. I readily understand that those things are not ever-lasting. Actually I strongly believe in […]
