Save The Drama For Your Personal Life

Keep your drama at home. I’ve always been a huge proponent of leaving your personal life at the door when you step out to work. The same being said regarding leaving work in the office when you head home. I’m far from ignorant, so I get it, sometimes you bring some work home to finish

Oh, So You Think You Can Lead?

Factory of Mistakes

You make mistakes, right? I know for a fact that we all have. Mistakes aren’t always a bad thing. I get it – there are small mistakes and then there are grave mistakes. We have to be honest with ourselves when it comes to the kind of mistake we make. Mistakes, and failures, come with
