Play a Winning Game: Collaborate
Competition is a powerful driving force. Much of the game of life, as we’ve set it up, is based on win-lose scenarios fueled by competitive mindsets and behaviors.

Is it the Person or the Place? A Chicken-and-Egg Dilemma
I’ve been getting my hair styled by the same hairdresser at the same salon for the last seven years.

Hocus Focus
It’s the most powerful tool we have to achieve our goals: FOCUS. And yes, it works like magic. I’ve recently meandered down several professional paths and in the spirit of being open-minded and opportunity-oriented, I’ve met many interesting, passionate and successful people. Some of the conversations I had and meetings I attended were energizing and…
