That which you resists
“That which you resists, persists” - Carl Jung Have you ever heard this saying? The first time I heard it I almost laughed at the simplicity of it.

The Power of a Smile
I was recently told that when you speak to someone you should always smile at them when they first approach you. I tried it for a week and guess what I found out?

Get up and go after it

Enough Monkey Business…Get to Work!
A while back, my son had a shirt with a monkey carrying a brief case full of bananas and the caption read, “Monkey Business”. I found the shirt to be hilarious, yet sadly true.

Check, Check, is this thing on??
Do you ever feel like you are talking to yourself or that no one is listening? Maybe it’s not you, maybe it’s your message. Too often our words get lost because we aren’t focused and to the point. Rambling or worse yelling while rambling causes coworkers, employees, friends, and loved ones to lose interest and check out. Instead of ramblingRead more
