Do you begin the new year like “well, here we go again, I wonder what this year will hold?” Or do you blast off into it, with absolute certainty that you know exactly what you’ll be doing and celebrating when the year is over? There’s a middle ground that works best for me. I enter …
Lately, I feel like a box that’s overstuffed with everything. Ideas, thoughts, approaches. All the books, blogs, podcasts, and training I’ve consumed. Plus, all I’ve learned, working.
