In a recent presentation, I got several questions about boundaries. HR pros dealing with “fiery arrows” all day. Attorneys getting hit with short-deadline emergencies. Department-of-one folks buried under endless requests. Business owners fielding midnight...

It’s February 6, and if we’re being real, the New Year glow has probably dimmed for a lot of us. Goals that felt exciting on January 1 now feel heavy. Energy’s low, motivation’s spotty, and the couch is winning more battles than it should. I’ve been there. But here’s...
