Do I have a ‘Catitude’ problem?
“All you do is complain.” My coworker was standing in my boss’ doorway, yelling at me, while I was staring at her, my eyes wide while sipping coffee. Rewind this about two minutes and you’d have found us on the other side of our office suite. She’d asked me a question that I didn’t have […]
MoreYeah, Nike has it right.
Good morning! You’ve heard me talk about a big change that’s happening in my life these days – I’m starting a new job. And guess what? Today is my first day! As with any change in my life, of course I’ve been thinking about the past. Many of you were reading when I announced my […]
MoreWhat’s burnout & do I have it?
