(Excerpt from my soon-to-be-published book, Just One Step: The Journey to Your Unstoppable You) I’m back from my Alaskan journey and disconnection, and now it’s time to get back to sharing thoughts and ideas that matter. Two weeks ago, I wrote about the reasons that we want to hold on […]
The Leader Pause
January 4, 2018 Leave a Comment
I recently had an unexpected encounter with one of the audience members in a large group setting where I was speaking. I was not able to read her name tag, and I didn’t hear her (due to my hearing loss) when I asked for her name. As a result, I […]
