We all need our own quiet place. Actually this is a physical place, a place where you can go to be by yourself and regroup, refresh, reflect or do whatever you need to do for yourself to catch your breath in order to continue. It can be a time for long-term planning and/or decision making or it […]

Doubt can be invasive and undermine your way of reacting and interacting. If you doubt, you rarely can look at the person/idea in the same way again

Are you a bridge burner? Once you’ve decided on a particular action/direction do you burn the bridge your on and those behind you? I’m not talking about the ‘quality’ of the decision – right/wrong, good/bad, smart/stupid, etc. – merely the finality of decision. Do you ever reassess? Again, this is not a statement on the
