Opening remarks: Suit Up and Show Up Opening Remarks: Suit Up and Show UpIt's hard to believe that less than a month has gone by since Christmas. I hope that you had a wonderful holiday season celebrating whatever occasions you observe.

Now that the New Year is underway I'm renewing my dedication to sending you a monthly e-zine with some thoughtful ideas, articles and resources to help you find the best way to "tell your story".
