A close friend of mine recently sent me an email that sadly described the circumstances of a mutual friend going through a very tough time.  Our friend had apparently made some poor choices  resulting in pain and suffering for himself and his family.  Thankfully, our friend reached out and wanted to talk and try to [...]

Question 4 from Terry Turpin’s Eight to Five message – Are my circumstances driving my behavior?

Back Stabbing

Posted in Adversity on July 8, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

If you have a heartbeat, you have likely been undermined by a co-worker. The quiet whispers behind your back from an aggressive, greedy, success driven peer.
