5 Minutes of "Doing" Nothing
As a coach, I work with numerous over-achieving clients, who are super "doers". Yet, amidst all the success, they desire more balance in their lives and are intrigued with the idea of "being" more.

Business Meals and Success
Successful people create positive personal impact. If you want to create positive personal impact, you must know and follow the basic rules of etiquette. This is especially true at a business meal.
