Sigh Chris, I have been trying to make some changes in my life and really want to improve myself and my career. But I find that if change doesn’t come instantly, I tend to just give up and tell myself that it just doesn’t work. I can’t keep this up for much longer…got any advice?

There are many coaches, gurus, advisors etc. who will advocate getting your “vibration” in the right place, your mind in a “positive” state and just finding “alignment” with what you truly want. Einstein understood the value of energy (duh!) but he would be the first to say, understanding it and harnessing it are two VASTLY

Lao Tzu was a Chinese philosopher whose wisdom inspired…and continues to inspire millions.

Paulo Coelho is the author of one of my all time favorite books… He has a way of writing that speaks to your heart and to the possibility of what you can create. Many people who DO want to have that kind of impact, think that it takes very little to sway a few. And

So Chris… There are so many times I take on extra work to help out my teammates, when my own plate is full. And they will let my manager know that I’ve been helpful to them. But I never hear anything from my manager about it. I don’t do it for the pat on the

Famous quote from Churchill during a challenging time in history. Yet, I think this quote was a bit manipulative.
