{Remaining} 2017 Reading List

According to Dave Ramsey, the average millionaire reads one non-fiction book every month. Besides that fact, I’ve decided that I need to soak up some knowledge given my new work situation. So I’m putting together a reading list of books to read between now and the end of the year. Some of them are focused on business, and some are more about improving and growing … Continue reading {Remaining} 2017 Reading List

What is a “General Manager” anyway?

When I was a student at The Florida State University, I applied for a scholarship and had to meet with the committee as part of the application process. The interviewer asked what my goal job was, and I answered that I wanted to be the White House Press Secretary.

Then today I was reminded of the added work stress I endured during that transitional point in my life. Now, this tweet may lead you to believe that I was actually having … Continue reading Identifying Burnout

A new job

I’ve always been about balance. When I was little, I balanced school and homework with ballet classes and performances. In high school, I balanced college classes, dance and student government (plus some). And in grad school, I balanced insane classes with internships and a long-distance relationship. Balance is something I need in life. If I was only dedicated to my career, I’d burn out. If … Continue reading A new job
