Ok, forgive me but I could not get that Jay-Z lyric out of my head once I decided to feature myself for the first time. You're welcome for that link.
Let's start over.
Here's the career story:

These days, I help leaders actually lead so that others follow with unwavering loyalty. In the process, we improve revenue & profits along side employee well-being at work. Book a meeting with me anytime.
Personal Bio: I have a 5 year old autistic son who has shown me my inner calm and keeps me constantly improving my Mom game, which also benefits his mischievous 2 year old brother. Both are as devilishly handsome and rambunctious as their idol and Daddy aka my husband of 8 years, who was my boyfriend for 10 years before that. We all moved back to my hometown of San Diego, CA six months ago after spending 20 years in Santa Barbara, CA. My two sisters are my very best friends and our father's death 4 years ago had a profound affect on me, which I write and talk about often. Despite grief and challenges, I still believe that who's got it better than us? NOBODY!

QUESTION OF THE WEEK?
"I'm wondering if I should take a promotion at work? My boss let me know last week that I am getting a promotion but my salary will not increase. This is a promotion I have been working for and promised a few months ago. I will now be managing two people who I sort of already manage. I'm really upset about not getting more money but I know my company is not doing great right now so I feel like it won't make a difference if I ask. Is there a way I can ask? I am worried that they won't give me the promotion if I make a big deal of the money. They did say it might make me eligible for a raise when things turn around a bit. Should I just wait? Thanks for your help. Love the videos."
1:1 AGENDA NEXT WEEK:
"My boss plays favorites. He laughs a lot with other people and hangs out with them and I feel like they get away with stuff. I tried to talk to him about it and even asked other people what they thought and no one really cared and pretty much just ignored me. Should I complain to HR? Should I look for a new job? I do my job so this stuff just annoys me but it sucks. Thanks"
