Let’s Discuss Physical Performance

As life gets busy with goals and projects, we tend to maximize the time we dedicate to them and more often than not, we leave certain things sitting in the back burner. I’ve personally experienced seasons at work in which between the workload and hectic business travel, I don’t pay attention to hydrating well or getting enough sleep.

The Aspiring Leader

Leaders must be humble and becoming a leader in the pursuit of monetary compensation, will ALWAYS make you fall short and feel inadequate. Leadership is labor of love, but it requires that the leaders equip themselves with the necessary tools to bring others along the ride and help them grow and succeed.
