A meetup I ran last Saturday brought a painful realisation home for me. Exercise is important not only for its touted benefits of muscular strength, endurance, improved cardiovascular system and energy to run our day.
What I learned in 2020
Like you, I learned a lot about myself in 2020. All the pain, heartache and disappointment also brought about discovery, innovation and gratitude. Joy in the little things, in what I have, in a happy progression of my journey, in things as they are.
Mastery or Procrastination?

Answering Questions on Improving Your Digital Profile
As you read this, there’s a good chance you or someone close to you is undergoing significant hardship and maybe, even loss as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. I cannot fully understand the breadth of what you may be going through and things are rocky in my world as well. Face to face certification-led […]
How You Can Build More Influence
