How to make a fresh start
At the end of the year, decade, or even the week, we have an opportunity to draw a line under what has and hasn’t happened. We draw a line under what was before… and get ready for what’s about to come. Trouble is, most of us aren’t actually clear on how to make a fresh […]

Guest post: 5 reasons women are still taking a back seat in their own careers
Women in the workplace. We’re fierce. We’re doing great things. Our mothers and several generations of ancestors fought hard for us to have a seat at the table. I’m 41.
