If we could only understand why we find ourselves cross ways with our supervisor and co-workers. Take a few minutes to listen in to this episode and hopefully […]

    #103, Why Care About Diversity?

    There is alot of talk about DEI these days. Much of it is not accurate and much of it implies affirmative action… which is not DEI.
