In the last team meeting of the year, yesterday, when I revised the start of the year quiz into an end of the year quiz, I came across a very thoughtful question. During the meeting, it actually forced people to reflect. “What are two weaknesses that you worked on this year?” All of us have… Continue reading Weaknesses

Alive – Meets and greets
Met a dear old friend after six years today. Everything felt like it was just yesterday.
