December is an incredible month. It’s the end of a year. It’s an opportunity to reflect on the year as a whole. It’s the on-ramp to the year ahead and the limitless possibilities that are awaiting our arrival. It can also be the most difficult time for many people. Christmas can bring a mixed bag…

I’ve been working with people for over 32 years. What I’ve realized is that sector, rank, stature and title do not matter. From the front line clerk to the CEO, we all want the same thing. We want to be seen, heard, liked, loved and validated. When you have a memory it’s the person you…
