Here’s what our authors covered:

This week we welcome Kevin Monahan to our author team.

As you kick off your week, I hope my podcast about the 5 Daily Gratitudes will help you focus!

Gratefully, our authors cover and provide some great insights this coming week, too. Henrieta covers what can be gained by multi-tasking; Nance covers the end of paradigm; Ken explores if where you went to college matter to your career; Elinor covers the shift from losing to acquiring clients; while Heather shared how you can really create a portfolio that stands out.

Stay tuned!
