Adapting to Change: 6 Tools to Get you to the Other Side
Change is inevitable. We wouldn’t get very far if there was no change and adaptation to our surroundings. Think about it. Imagine a world in which we didn’t adapt or change with the times.

Roadmap to Success
As I sit here on another flight, traveling to yet another meeting, I sit thinking. Thinking of all I accomplished and thinking of those mountains I still want to climb (figuratively).
