Having Your BestDay
If you believe the national surveys, only 30% of employees enjoy what they do for a living. Life is too short to waste our time doing something that does not inspire us. Sometimes we just need to see the examples of others to help us chart our own course. When we meet people who love their craft - they inspire us.
Our blog, “Having Your BestDay”, are personal first-hand experiences graciously provided by members of our team, as well as other thoughts that inspire us, information that makes us think, and insights we have learned over time.

Kyle's Best Day
I’ve been thinking about your note the past couple weeks trying to figure out what my Best day looks like in my career. In my real career that pays the bills I can’t say I’ve had my best day. I’ve had good days.
The World Needs YOU
Think about our world of work - how many people do you know work alone at home now and their only connection is through video conferencing? It is easy to see why loneliness levels are increasing. That is where you come in.
Happy to Help
Best day at my job is when someone who has been through trauma, addiction or abuse discovers they’re loved! Their eyes light up and they start making great decisions that lead to transformative outcomes in their lives.
