One Career Fact Often Swept Under the Rug
Here’s the skinny: there is always – always – a ‘list’. The ‘list’ from which decisions are made for opportunities, promotions, new projects, visible ‘task forces’…..you name it. There is always a list. The truth of the matter is this: rarely – if ever – are we present when life-changing career decisions are made for…
