In my view, it's all about perseverance and staying goal oriented -- these types of "thorns" and other worldly thinking will always be out there. The strategic contributions are key but the social media implications are only going to increase. The thoughts of this young woman will gain traction with some folks, no matter how you slice it!

Father’s Day Reflections

Remember to take time out for Dad, not just on his special day, but throughout the year. While my Dad is no longer in the “land of the living,” his lessons live on: a love for learning, work, perseverance and patience.

Me, I’m more of a risk taker. But I’m able to take those risks after being guided in the fundamentals of success, based on wisdom from my husband, parents, in-laws, former bosses, professors, mentors and other great men in my life.
