The World is Your Oyster…
But you have to shuck a lot of shells to find that pearl! This last Monday of November we continue our discussion of Casting a Wide Net while Focusing on Your Goal. A broad worldview is important if we are to know without a doubt that we are laser-focusing our skills and attention in the…

Monday, Monday…
