Have you noticed that many people don’t blog anymore? When social media came along, killed off long-form writing and scattered the masses across the platforms, all of a sudden, my blog became a ghost town.

Third Place is Now On Facebook
Back in 2013, I created a community of people interested in learning and development to gather in social environments for conversations and connections called Third Place.

What is a Career?
A few of years ago after leaving the corporate sector to pursue a new phase in my life as an independent consultant, I invested in a year-long program with a business coach.
