As an endurance athlete, I know a few things about facing challenging obstacles and the power of resiliency. I would even argue, that by coincidence, I was perhaps one of the few people on the planet who had unknowingly prepared myself mentally, emotionally and spiritually for COVID-19 in the two years leading up to the […]

Even though I’ve got years of productivity and business development experience—(7 of those years, working with a child at home)—have led workshops, and have written countless articles on the subject, nothing has prepared me for this level of daily chaos.
