What does it mean to have a comfort zone? Is it serving you or limiting you?

Culture, ESG, and Leadership
Last Friday, Camille Bryant, of McGlinchey Stafford, gave a great presentation at the LCPA HR Conference on Defining a Culture of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in the Workplace. She introduced a name for a concept I was already familiar with, but did not know how to so succinctly explain: ESG. ESG stands for Environmental, Social,Continue reading “Culture, ESG, and Leadership”
How much do you Know?
When I was working in tax I remember my supervisor telling me to always go back and review even the things you know you put in, just in case.

Being “the first”

But over time I learned to be grateful for the lessons that all of these experiences taught me. The one I want to discuss again todayContinue reading “Transformation: Control to Surrender”
The Universe and Manifestation
When I read You Are A Badass for the first time I started and stopped it more times than I can remember. Spirituality, believing in the power of the Universe, manifesting, etc. was a woo-woo nonsense concept to me at the time. I remember thinking the book was a waste of time and asking myselfContinue reading “The Universe and Manifestation”
