Some are evaluating sabbaticals and even full retirement. And still others are thinking of 180-degree transitions into different fields and writing new chapters. And without almost any exceptions, they question their […]
Early in my career, a very dear and special mentor taught me a very important lesson. He said: the value you place on yourself, is the value the market will place on you (aka: what you are worth).
