Many people who know me know that I’m a self-starter and love to learn. You’d be pleasantly surprised that it doesn’t always come naturally to me but the risk of missing out on a potential opportunity experience something new is worse than not trying anything at all. So what might come across as spontaneity or frivolity on this […]
What’s Your 100 Year Vision?
This year I started a 12 month business coaching development program through David Guest Business Coaching Solutions. I figured after 24 years of working for someone else, now as a freelancer, it was time to invest in personal development that took me out of my comfort zone. If freelancing wasn’t risky enough, I needed to have someone […]
The Move from Face-to-Face to Online Learning
