In honor of Administrative Professionals Day this past week, I thought it could be a great time to talk about these unsung heroes and remind you why they are so important to your organization. Operat

I first learned the phrase "habit stacking" during a real estate mastermind call with my Inspire Community led by James Shaw. We were on a zoom call with Justin Su'a , the Head of Mental Performance for the Tampa Bay Rays. To this day, it has been one of the most powerful growth calls I've had the pleasure to participate in. The surprising part?... I had already been intentionally habit stacking my mornings for months... I just finally learned that there was a specific term f

Let's be real - stepping outside of your comfort zone is scary! But it can also be a whole lot of fun. So, in the spirit of lightheartedness, let's talk about some of the hilarious things that can happen when we take on new challenges and work outside of our comfort zone. First up, we have the classic "oops" moments. You know the ones - when you're so focused on trying to learn a new task or skill, that you forget to pay attention to the little things.
