"Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from indomitable will." ~ Mahatma Gandhi Some of our family is a part of a "walking group." Essentially, everyone's goal is to walk 10,000 steps a day, which can come easy OR it can be very hard, depending on...
Best Boss-Worst Boss?
Yesterday, I was on a call about Emotional Intelligence. The information presented was incredibly basic so I ended up dropping off, but one thing she discussed I believe is worth sharing. The presenter had us compare our best boss with our worst boss, which obviously...
