As I’ve progressed in my career, I’ve realized that so much of growth is “unlearning.” We spend years being sponges, soaking up every piece of advice we receive, only to realize later that not all of it is helpful or even true. Sometimes, unlearning means tossing aside habits that no longer serve us...

In the years since I’ve started my business, I’ve played the part of Goldilocks, trying many different technology options to craft my perfect “stack.” My search for the best digital tools has stemmed in part from the growth of my small-but-mighty team. We work from multiple locations, so finding the...

If you’ve ever tried to grow your LinkedIn network, you might have encountered a startling roadblock. Usually, making a new connection on LinkedIn is just a matter of clicking the “Connect” button inside a person’s profile and attaching a personalized invitation note. Occasionally, however, you mi

As a competitive athlete for much of my life, I understand what it means to train toward a goal. It’s not glamorous. Skinned knees, hard work, and even an occasional defeat are par for the course. But, with a little patience, it’s all worth it in the end.Â
