It’s January, which means it’s National Get Organized Month! And there are few things that make me as happy as organizing things. In fact, I spent most of the long holiday weekend shifting my office furniture layout to facilitate better workflow across my desk. In the...

One of my favorite ways to set goals, track goals, and map out my plans for the coming year is through journaling. I journal on paper and digitally. I use paper for mind mapping ideas and putting action plans for my goals in print. I’ve read that the mind thinks...

“Security doesn’t lie within a company. It lies within you.” This has become one of my favorite quotes from my friend and colleague, Joan Burge, Founder and CEO of Office Dynamics. It epitomizes my philosophy of career preparedness. I’ve never looked at my career...
