When you have a passion for something then it is authentic. When something is authentic people ‘get’ that authenticity. It doesn’t matter if you communicate by email or smoke signals, in person or by pigeon, the person on the receiving end of your communication will ‘get’ that you are real, genuinely excited by what you […]
Working with clients to enable them to achieve their career goals, I am reminded just how impatient we humans can be…. Encouraged by a buy-it-now-fix-it-quick society, (and I include myself in this whole heartedly!), we can lose heart very easily.
