LinkedIn
January 22, 2021

Strange that she would give me a gift as she was saying goodbye. “I want you to open it by yourself,” she said, pulling on the car door. She paused to smile at me. “You’ll know why.”

The Relationship Recipe

Tammy described the Norman Rockwell holiday scene she had been envisioning for months as we strolled the downtown streets. Holiday lights twinkling above us. A brisk chill in the air as our conversation crystalized into visible puffs of icy fog. The kind of night that makes you long for miniature marshmallows floating in a warm mug of hot cocoa by the fire.

Success With Less: Releasing Obligations & Discovering Joy
Marie St. Press
October 04, 2016
Success might be best defined as that elusive something that’s always out of reach. But what if having more started with doing less? Beyond just a minimalist approach to life, this book describes how to have less of the self-created labels and obligations that keep you from being who you were meant to be. “Less” is about choosing the things that really matter (and removing the obligations that don’t). What’s left over is a new definition of success – a success that’s within your grasp.

From a place of clarity, Karen provides the guidance that we all need to get through the crossroads we all face. For your career, your relationships, your health and your life: what you really need is less than what you imagine. And you won’t find what’s missing by striving, racing, acquiring and struggling. That’s because what you need is inside of you, right now. And this book will show you how to find it.

Work, workforce, and workplace norms are shaped as much by popularized portrayals as by our lived experiences. From sensational headlines like “The Great Resignation” to successful series like “The Office” and “Silicon Valley” to skits and stories shared on our social media feeds, what we see shapes what we believe.

Let’s go behind the scenes to discover what’s new, now and next in the world of work. And we’ll challenge the traditions of what it means to live well and to work well.
