Good day, team, This week’s challenge is about forgiveness. This subject came up for me just this weekend.

Dr. Ellis focused much of his psychotherapeutic treatments on action; that is, rather than overanalyzing everything, he encouraged his patients to take action regarding their emotional and psychological states by accepting who […]

Sr. Ruiz describes four agreements you can make with yourself to improve your life and your relationship to it. For those of you who have not read this book, I […]
Good day, team, This week, I was working with a team that put together an activity that challenged another group within the company.
