Read MoreATTITUDE
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E There is something that we seldom miss. Whenever we walk into a workplace, retail or service or whatever, we are immediately aware of attitude.

Read MoreHappy 2019!
Happy New Year! A new year has rolled around again and it brings both challenges and promises along with it. If we are looking only for the less-than-good, that will be easy enough to find. Too much of this! Too little of that! No people available! Can’t find a job to save myself! If, on…
