This is the year of the great resignation. Or so many say. Actually, I know so. I have seen more than 30% position vacancy rate. And, admittedly I too am “reflecting”. I rather call this the reflection economy. But that’s another topic for another day. In this economy, […]
Try tracking for a day how many decisions you make in 24 hours. You make small ones regarding what to wear, eat, or watch on television. Then there are some larger ones you have to make. Then there are those that may be small but turn into bigger-than-life […]
