Today’s Dear Coach is about the Annual Summer Battle of Technology vs. Vacations. We are right around the corner from summer vacation season, and I’ve been reflecting on how we choose to celebrate that most intangible of gifts—time.
Today’s Dear Coach is about Four Signs That You Need to Fire a Bad Client. One statistic that has stuck with me for years is that the average American spends 100,000 hours of their life on the job.
