How Committed Are You To Celebration?

January 17, 2020 by Steve Laswell

“By a show of hands, how many of you have too much trust back at the office?” The room of HR professionals laugh like Jerry Seinfeld is in the house.

Uncomfortable Growth – Part 2

October 18, 2019 by Steve Laswell

“Steve, I encourage you to check-out one of our Yoga classes,” DeAngelo, my trainer urged. “I think you’ll like it, and it will support the work we’re doing in the gym.”

    April 12, 2019 by Steve Laswell

    “How are you?” has become a casual greeting and superficial question. What’s the “correct” answer? I’m so…? Busy. Everyday people shine their busy badges and pin them on like a name tag. But why?

    Its Okay to Celebrate, Right?

    February 15, 2019 by Steve Laswell

    I’m conflicted.
