Katie’s Epiphany
I’ve had a number of different professions, and in each of them, I’ve always believed in surrounding myself with others who are doing what I’m doing so that I improve. When I worked in law firm marketing, I discovered the … Continue reading
You’re Your Top Five
Studies show that the top five people you spend the most time with bleed on you. They probably don’t say it exactly like that, but bottom line, they leak out on you and you start to resemble them. That means … Continue reading
