Whether you offer strategic consulting, outsourcing, or growth services, adding Client Advisory Services (CAS) to your repertoire can earn your firm more money and boost your reputation.

This month is a turning point into the summer meridian. The cold is leaving, and we welcome the warmth of spring turning to summer.

Often, we let work take precedence over everything else in our lives. Our professional desires can make us ignore other aspects of our well-being.

Does it feel like you’re always running around trying to catch up, but no matter how hard you try… you just can’t?

Mindfulness is important. Bringing a mindful disposition to your job, which can be a source of significant stress, is crucial to improving many other areas in your life.

Finding the right work-life balance is critical. And unfortunately, there’s no magic ratio that works for everyone.

Do you think you are a good listener? Would your team agree with you?

Being a woman shapes our experiences in business and life. There are hidden rules our gender has to navigate, and more often than not, our actions are aimed to please others rather than focusing on what pleases us. We fear coming off as too aggressive or too bold.

Do you think you can unplug for 24 hours? No cellphones. No technology at all. Just being present. And then think about how many times you check your phone throughout the day.

Kindness can be the norm every day when we are intentional, sometimes we need a little reminder. And what better way to begin than on Random Acts of Kindness Day?

Happy day of women and girls in science! Today is a great reminder of how far women have come in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), but also how far we still have to go.

We live in a fast-paced world—and understanding mindfulness has never been more important.

Taking even one day off can help reset yourself mentally and increase productivity and focus.

We're a couple of weeks into 2022. Have you kept your new year's resolutions?

If you’ve struggled to keep your resolutions in the past, don’t lose hope. More than half of all resolutions fail, but this year that doesn't have to be you.

Did you know that expressing gratitude not only makes the recipient feel appreciated, but it can also make you happier?

I’ve been thinking about the concept of gratitude and thankfulness a lot lately, and with Thanksgiving fast approaching, I’m sure it’s on a lot of other minds in the U.S. When you express gratitude, you acknowledge the goodness in your life. It helps you connect to something larger than yourself, whether it’s other people, nature, or the world as a whole. It elevates the human experience.

Gratitude for yourself and others brings both bliss and balance into your life, which in turn improves every other area of life, including business. There are many ways to express gratitude in your life, both big and small.

You are responsible for your happiness—only you. I know it sounds harsh, but the sooner you realize this, the sooner you can shape your world based on your own needs. You’ll no longer need validation at every turn. You won’t blame others for your problems or unhappiness.

Maybe you’re constantly thinking and worrying about work. Or perhaps childcare and other personal commitments are making you stressed. How do you manage the day-to-day while carving out time for yourself, your health, and your needs when you’re “always-on”? Some people feel guilty and that their own needs don’t matter as much as everyone else’s. I’ve definitely been there. But that can’t be further from the truth…

Mentoring is a two-way street. We need to seek mentors for ourselves to achieve our goals, but we also need to look for people to mentor. Becoming a mentor requires both people in the relationship to buy in to the process to ensure it will meet the goals of the mentee.

As we celebrated #nationalbossday this past Saturday, I’ve been thinking more about this. It was always a dream of mine since I was a little girl to be the “boss” - own my own business, be an entrepreneur, watch my dreams come to life.

What no one ever warns you about is how lonely it is to be the boss. How hard it is to please the people that work for you, with you, and your clients and customers. Every day we have little or big decisions to make, and only the leader can make it at the end of the day. Some days I know my brain is full and I don’t have the capacity to make a decision. You can ask opinions, but as an entrepreneur you are the only one at risk of making a bad decision that can affect you financially and in turn all the people around you that depend on your business.
