Confidence in your Role

If you’re starting a new role and unsure of it, the best thing to do is ask what you should be doing. If you’re given a list of 15 things you should be doing now, this instance, this moment realizes that can’t happen – so rank them and pick the top 5.

What’s in a Network?

Networks connect. They ensure what’s needed gets from Point A to Point B.

Breaking Monotony

When what you are working on gets stale, uninspired, and never changing, it’s easy to get discouraged that “nothing” will get better and the only way to break out of the monotony of it all is to start looking elsewhere. Generally, when we do this we are racing somewhere else for a quick fix to get that change and break the cycle as quickly as possible, before monotony sets in again. It’s why starting new projects is so vibrant and exciting but getting them across the finish line is a shore within itself and fraught with ups and downs. Before
