How can you create a culture of constructive conversations?
After the picture that’s been painted the past two weeks, I’m sure it’s become clear that a culture of silence can be more than just a little unhealthy… It can be deadly, especially for employee morale. Lack of clear expectations and closed communication underpin a...

Do you trust me?
I hope you’ve enjoyed a bit of time out with your loved ones over the recent long weekend. I know I did. It was wonderful to have time to just be together and be REAL, while also getting to do some EXCITING and fun things and LAUGH together. Mila finds any excuse to...
