The Greater Impact of Accepting Imperfection
Often, we get so caught up thinking we have to be perfect that we become paralyzed.

The Greater Impact of Different Perspectives
Recently, I spoke with Melissa Dawn Simkins, president of Velvet Suite, a firm that helps clients build strong brands, about the importance of seeking out different perspectives, both in business and in life.
