Leadership

Look here for tips from my blog for individuals wanting to improve their leadership skills.

Best Friend

BestFriendThis month is devoted to relationships.  Business, your career and life are built on relationships with others.  Relationships start with how you feel about you – how you treat yourself.  If you’ve been reading this blog for awhile, you know that I play golf.  One of my golfing partners said something that has stuck by me – “I would never speak to someone else and say the things I say to myself on the golf course.”  Golf can be a frustrating game.  Here is what she was referring to:
