An archive of all posts published to date. Incremental changes are the crumbs that lead you towards lasting outcomes!
Not too long ago, I was in the midst of an acrimonious situation. Respect and civility had taken a back seat, loud voices and talking over each other were satisfying the egotistical glut.
