Disability is Not a Limitation
As we enter October and celebrate National Disability Employment Awareness Month, I find it an appropriate time to think about the uniqueness each of us brings to the table in the workplace. In particular, people with disabilities often approach challenges in the workplace with creativity, resilience, and fresh perspectives that can spark innovation. Their experiences help teams think…

Teachers Play A Vital Role
Despite the challenges that come with the profession of teaching—long hours, limited resources, and the emotional demands of supporting handfuls of students—those who choose education as a career play a vital role in the future of our society.

Healthcare workers are the unsung heroes of our society, tirelessly dedicating their lives to the well-being of others.

It’s All About Perspective
I‘ve been thinking a lot about perspective lately. It started when I had a debate with a male friend about the Barbie movie. He saw the message of the movie one way, I saw it another. I knew I would not be able to convince him to see it my way, and I also knew I…

Time Marches On
I am constantly amazed at the consistency and efficiency of time. It just keeps marching on, regardless of circumstance or event. Sometimes we can perceive time as going more slowly or more quickly, but it is only our perception that makes the difference. Time doesn’t waver. I’ve heard it said that “everyone has the same…
