Reading Time: 2 minutes. My perfect client comes in one of two forms. However, for starters, they have much in common. Mostly, their lives are actually pretty good.

Reading Time: 12 minutes. When it came to defining and sharing a personal brand identity, and starting an online business, I’ve struggled with what to do and in what order.

Reading Time: 3 minutes. Congratulations, you’re a project manager! The investment team has already set the budget, schedule, and scope of your product development project. The executive staff assembled the project team. Like any catastrophic failure, errors have already been made by multiple parties, well in advance of the events that will ultimately expose the failure. Now, they will watch and […]
