Working from home is a double-edged sword. While it comes with amazing perks and benefits, it can also be isolating and discouraging. How can we thrive and grow in a situation that is often not so ideal? Here’s what I have learned about how to have a thriving remote work life:
Read MoreWe’re always on the way to someplace or something or someone. Our sights are always set on what’s next. We channel our energy and time into getting through whatever is going on right now so that we can get to that. It’s getting through the Tuesdays and Wednesdays of life to get to the Saturdays and Sundays. But what if God wants us to savor those Tuesdays and Wednesdays, those times of “in between”? What do we miss when we just power through to the “end goal?”

Read MoreWe all naturally want to do work that is meaningful. I heard this quoted many times as a teen and young adult by my father who believes strongly in usng one’s talents and creativity to the fullest. I took this to heart and for many years believed that the gold-standard of achievement lay in scoring a full time paid job doing exactly what you love so that you could love what you do.
Read More“To whom much is given, much is expected.” As a first generation immigrant, college graduate and lawyer, I’ve always felt the weight of that saying immensely. It is why I knew that whatever success I’d have in my career and life should pour out and into my community.

Read MoreAs a Christian I want to stand apart from the rest, both at home and when I step into the office on Monday morning. The average American worker sent and received an average of 126 emails per day in 2019. No matter what line of work you are in, you will probably find yourself needing to email someone in the course of your workday.
Read MoreEver since I discovered what business people do around 6th grade, I began to dream of reaching the top. The “top” changed over the years - in high school, I wanted to do fashion design or PR; in college it was business or journalism; then law school opened its own doors into courtrooms and politics; and then when I went to work for an accounting firm, making partner was the top. Regardless of the field or profession, I’ve always just had this drive to be the best I can be what I do. I love learning and always look to do the next hard thing that would move me up in my career and profession.
