So sorry that Wednesday's post went missing. Things here are, uh, askew. Somewhere between wrapping up a 17 year career as a mediator and Ombuds (think corporate mom), closing down my mediation blog and mentorship group to which I loved then striking out to launch a new greeting/gifts company, Charmed ...
Bah humbug! It's that time of year again. While most of the boomer blogs are chatting about how to make the most of season, I'm discovering what happens when college kids are naughty not nice. Join John for a sneak peek over at Coachingtips.com
