I love to mentor people. I love mentoring students, interns and employees alike. I like to see growth. And I like to see lightbulb moments. I find it fun to impart wisdom. I like to find new ways of explaining things. Perhaps there is a bit of narcissism […]
I believe there was once upon a time, sets of individuals that stayed at their place of employment for rather long times. Perhaps decades and perhaps forever. Nowadays, just as people go bar hopping on a Thursday night, they go job hopping as well. I have seen individuals […]
Here it goes. Nothing is going to stop me now. It’s been swelling up inside of me. It’s been boiling up inside of me. It’s been driving my nuts. I have to let it out. I have to ventilate. But let me set the context…. Last week I […]
