Bias for action. Gets things done. Go-getter. Traits companies big and small look for. And for good reason, you're being hired to do things! However, action is a secondary step that often overshadows the primary step, direction. Clear direction is the foundation that enables our actions to takeoff. Without it, we're stuck in the mud. Striving for clarity is an underrated skill. Having the courage to ask ( seemingly ) obvious questions, and to check in, making sure we're all on the same page.

Hey, it's been a while!
You may have noticed that the blog has been a tad quiet lately. Our first break in the action since roughly 2 years of weekly posting. There's a good reason.

During my break, I explored other interests. Business, health, technology, and more. There's a lot to learn, and writing is a great teacher.
