One of the things that I am struggling with this year is finding a balance to my life. It feels as if everything from my personal life to my work life is off-kilter this year. Hopefully though, the following lessons I have been learning this year will help you find some more balance in your life.

In my previous post titled “Staying Relevant within Disruptive Industry Change”, I talked about the importance of encouraging team members to share ideas and knowledge.

A couple weeks ago, I gave a presentation, “Managing Your Social Media Image as a Young Professional” at our local Chamber of Commerce to a leadership group composed of almost two dozen young professionals.

The way this blogging thing works is each week one of the Red Sagers writes a post about his or her area of expertise....

If you own an obedience school for pets you will probably be unable to ignore me as I chase the dog around my neighborhood. If you are an english teacher you might find it difficult to continue reading this article. So, being...

Mary Ila Ward I was captured last week by this video that was sent to me by a friend. It speaks to the human condition, and highlights that oftentimes, is not what you say, but how you say it that’s important.

Drew McDowell Quick, what internet browser are you using to read this blog post? And don’t tell me it’s Netscape!
