Time Out of MindI hope wherever you are, you're staying cool and hydrated! I've talked about my dad before, but I don't think I mentioned that he was always late—always! It was a source of many an argument between my folks and a running joke in our family. Even years after he has passed, dad's lateness remains legendary!It's one big reason I'd rather be early for pretty much anything and can't even be fashionably late no matter how hard I try. Recently, a client shared with me that she believes she has ADHD…Keep Reading

Overwhelmingly, students share that the session I lead and the individual advice I provide on pricing is truly eye-opening and transformational. Here are some of the recent comments: "The discussions around not pricing your products and services correctly and including your time in your…Keep Reading
Workin' for the AutomatonThis past weekend I had my first AI interview. At the beginning of the week, I applied for a contract gig posted to LinkedIn, mostly on a lark. It was simple to use their "Easy apply" to do it and so what did I have to lose?! The next day I received an email asking me to set up a 20 minute interview with the company's AI recruiter. The notification assures me there is no need to prepare. I will simply be asked questions related to the experience and education included in my resume. At the…Keep Reading
Ancient Chinese SecretsAs someone who has a Masters in Writing, specifically poetry, I'm no stranger to the ancient Chinese philosopher and author of the Tao Te Ching, known in the West as Lao Tzu.
