  • The Complexities of Human Behaviour

    I have been around the block quite a fair bit in my 57 years of existence. I can say that I have met all sorts of people, good and bad, who have helped me sharpen my EQ skills over time. But once in a while, someone comes along and surprises me again. I usually leverage…

  • My 2nd Month Work Anniversary, a Milestone Reached

    Time really flies when you work full-time.

  • Into My Second Week of Work

    I had a good first week of work last week after not working full time for the past 6 years since my last one in Oct 2017. It turned out better than I thought as I was trying to figure out strategically what needed to be done. I was mentally exhausted every day and slept…
