It’s often more natural to assess and identify areas of improvement in others, especially when working with a client or if strategic assessments are part of your professional portfolio – but what about when it comes to you.
A personal heart-to-heart. Have you checked in with yourself lately to identify areas where you can improve? Taking [...]

This year has held moments of laughter, joy, tears, sorrow and so, so much more.
- I have learned that change is hard.
- Sometimes it is okay to walk away.

Balance.
Pure and simple is something that I not only crave on daily basis, but strive to achieve. Am I always successful? Of course not. I work full-time, attend graduate school part-time, am a devoted wife, daughter, sister, and friend. I’m an advocate for digital literacy, a seeker of infinite information, a lover of art and [...]
