Hey there, hero! I’ve noticed that some people have forgotten, or have never learned, the most useful words you can use when you are getting feedback from those who might give you work. Without judging the quality of...

Hey there, hero! As we work toward a better performance career and face challenges to our progress, even the littlest things can make us feel frustrated. And it’s important to remember that, as challenges go, these...

Hey there, hero! Public Service Announcements. PSAs. One of my favorite voice over art forms. They come along all too rarely, and when they do, I cherish them. I had a wonderful opportunity recently to coach a voice...
