As a relatively new business owner I struggle through learning many tasks in order to run an efficient and thriving business. I love all the new things I am learning and it is tempting to want to do all the cool stuff myself. The result of this is that I am dealing with my own [...]

  So I attended my very first social media conference last week, the 140 Conference in Kitchener, Waterloo.

Okay, so maybe that’s stretching it a bit, but I really did expose an unflattering picture of myself for quite a while, without even recognizing it. It all started when a good friend of mine said to me “that profile picture has got to go. You’re so much prettier than that in real life! Thank [...]

If someone asked “would your company would like to save several $100,000 a year?” The answer would be, YES! It was several years after being bullied, I discovered a business cost calculator where I learned my bulling incident, 6-month of it, cost the company $300,000.00!

Conflict Resolution – What can be done?
