One of the pinnacles of self-improvement is trying to balance all of our commitments. We’re all incredibly busy and with only a certain amount of time on our hands each day, it can be difficult to figure out what is worth pursuing and what isn’t. Like many, I’ve been struggling with that to a degree […]
In today’s fast-paced workplace, communication is essential. Helpful collaboration software — like team management apps — makes it simple. Since workflows with multiple steps and components are passed around to various departments and team members, most of whom might not even be in the same building on a day-to-day basis. Using effective team management apps […]
When it comes to social media platforms, LinkedIn might come across as Facebook’s older, more responsible, and infinitely more boring sibling. When it comes to functionality, however, it is an invaluable resource to professionals all across the globe. As of 2021, LinkedIn has more than 774 million registered members from more than 200 countries, and […]
Gamification became more common in 2010 when it became more specifically associated with the integrating of social/reward elements of games into software. Since then, businesses have been developing gamification platforms, and marketers are employing game elements within their marketing campaigns. An FYI about the concept — it originated in 1896 with S&H Green Stamps, where […]
After adjusting to working remotely for the past year, it’s about time to head back to work. In some cases, some people have already returned.

It’s no secret that there’s an app for everything. In fact, on average, there are 100,000 new Android apps released in the Google Play store each month. As for iOS apps? Every month around 30,000 new apps pop up in the App Store. While having such a variety can be epic, it can also be […]
Let’s be real here. If you aren’t moving forward, then you’re falling behind. And that can occur in every aspect of your life. For example, if you’re growing in your marriage, this will be a bumpy road. And, if you’re maintaining the status quo at work, you’re either going to become dissatisfied or surpassed by […]
If there were one skill that you would like to master, what would it be? Putting aside pipe dreams, like becoming a world-renowned musician or athlete, I think most of us would like to enhance our communication skills. While it’s not as thrilling as having thousands of fans cheer you on, it’s critical if you […]
As the saying goes, “Nothing changes if nothing changes.” After all, if nothing changes, we stay neutral. And, that’s a problem. Growth becomes stagnant. It’s impossible for us to evolve.
