Ruthless Prioritization

Kindness and gratitude
Gratitude and kindness go a lot further than just about any other emotion I know. Choosing to be grateful and kind helps me personally and professionally.
The Familiar Zone
When you stay stuck in the familiar, you may feel depressed or stagnant, not having enthusiasm for your job, drifting off during the day to daydream of other things. The familiar creates apathy.
Tech Vacation
We talk a lot about the importance of unplugging and self-care. I want to take it a bit further and talk about a tech-free vacation.
Stress vs burnout
It happens every year about this time – I start hearing about burnout from others. But something I’ve noticed lately is we tend to confuse stress with burnout.

Another year is coming to a close, so it’s time to take stock and evaluate your happiness and satisfaction. Maybe it’s time for a career change!

Gratefulness takes guts. If the year 2020 has shown us anything, it’s that there’s a lot that can bring us down. Sometimes it takes more to find the good, the silver lining, the gifts.
Goal Getter
It sure sounds like an admirable title, to be considered a go-getter, and most employers, while hiring for diversity, experience and education are also looking for go-getters. These people are determined and ambitious and will work hard for the success of the company. But while go-getting is a great trait, it really needs to be taken a step further.

Knee-capping Your Career
“I was kind of thinking that…” “I just wanted to say…” Language like this doesn’t communicate confidence. And as a result, you might be knee-capping your own career.
Six-Figure Swagger
Let’s talk about something I call six-figure swagger! And yes, you can swagger even while working from home and communicating remotely. In fact, without outside distractions at the office, there’s no better time to work on creating a confident, personal brand.
Confidence: Fake It ‘Til Ya Make It
Whether you’ve just graduated, or you’re a seasoned pro, we all have career decisions that give us some anxiety. Recently, a friend’s teenager asked her, “How am I supposed to get a job based on experience if no one will hire me and give me experience?”
Pits, Valleys and Crevasses
How many of us how been in a hole of a different shape and size? Like is full of peaks and valleys. And you, my friends, will experience them all.
Time Management in a Pandemic
Have you noticed that when we only have one thing on the To-Do List, we get nothing done, but if we have 15 things on the list we get most of them done?? It’s all about momentum and time management.
