Numbers don’t lie. But they also don’t tell the whole story. Relying solely on hard data leads to tunnel vision. Only one piece of the puzzle is being scrutinized, leaving a sense of overall failure, when in fact the success that is occurring outside of the spreadsheet is far more impactful. Goals that rely strictly […]
Read MoreA pinch of salt goes a long way. Add too much and you’re stuck with a snack for the neighborhood deer. Too little and your tastebuds will despise the blandness. Yet, when you hit the mark and impart just the right amount you are awarded with a dish fit for a king (or queen). I […]
Read MoreBalance. Everyone talks about it, but how many people actually achieve it? Whether it is work/life balance, family balance, exercise balance, even as simple as balancing a checkbook (do people still do that?) we all struggle in some way to feel like we are achieving everything we set out to accomplish. Perfection. Everyone’s perfection is […]
Read More“Johnny pulled my hair, Ella ate her booger!” Timmy didn’t do his homework, Suzie keeps talking to me!” Middle of class snacks and failure to complete one’s own task is not anyone’s business but their own and who they report to.
