Sept 12, 2016 - Are you overlooking the obvious? Are you caught up in finding a solution that seems unreachable or unachievable at this time? Have you analyzed a particular situation from what you believe is every possible angle and are still stumped by what the best answer could be?

July 21, 2014 - What value do you bring? Have you considered the tangible and intangible value that you bring to the work that you do or to the business you are in?

July 27, 2009 – Are you open to resources and support? How open are you to all possible resources and support, really? As open-minded as many of us profess to be, we still set our own internal limitations for exactly how wide our scope will look. We literally predetermine our options before fully exploring what they ultimately could be. How many of you only consider options within the confines of your work for a business issue or the confines of your life for a personal issue? Take an...
