Organization: 3 Simple Rules for Reaching Your Goals
I’ve tried it all… the home edit, the Marie Kondo method, Pinterest dollar store finds for organization. I’m addicted to anything related to organizing your home and life.

New Year’s Resolutions Week Four – How’s it going?
New Year’s what? Oh yeah! LOL. I was so young and naïve 30 days ago. If this is you, I’m not going to judge. It has sure been me more often than I’d like to admit because even the most starry-eyed, carefully planned goals can be derailed by this crazy thing called life. Take heart! […]
Creating a Personal Learning Plan: An intentional path to accomplishing your goals
At the start of any new year, I like to do self-reflection on the year that’s passed and think about what I want to accomplish in the coming year. I’m not big on setting New Year’s resolutions, but I do like setting intentions for the year. With those intentions there are always goals that I […]
Reflection: The forgotten key to achieving your goals
Recently, I read a story on the Internet (so it must be true) about a bride-to-be who decided to have an over-the-top expensive wedding despite having a modest budget.

Manufacturing is the backbone of everything we do. From energy to infrastructure, transportation to technology, we need to recognize and celebrate those professionals in every industrial sector. It’s even more important today as manufacturers seek to fill 4.6 million high-skill, high-tech, and high-paying jobs over the next decade. That’s why we’re supporting and celebrating Manufacturing Day all month long with the intention of educating and increasing the positive perception of working in […]
CareerMaze – The key to finding a successful career path that aligns with your strengths
From the time children are old enough to speak in sentences, adults start asking what they want to be when they grow up. That pressure builds fast! Typically, the answers begin with princess, firefighter, dinosaur expert, dancer, and evolve to nurse, doctor, lawyer. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a child say they want to […]
Lessons Learned, Resolutions Made
As I was riding through a neighborhood park recently, I fell off my bike. You know, to properly end 2020. To avoid a mom pushing a stroller, I swerved onto the grass. As I was stand-pedaling (this is probably not an official cycling term) to get through it and around her, feeling good about my […]

Each year, as we look forward to new beginnings, it’s essential to make room to reflect. While it’s tempting to run full force into the next big project or next resolution that will make us – to borrow from Daft Punk – harder, better, faster, stronger, we owe it to ourselves and our teams to […]
