My SOS Podcast is themed for the beach and the boating and sailing life, and finally, I was able to do a remote episode from the beach today!

I don't have all the answers for this, but I can tell you the SOS Formula for that internal and external review. First, Stop… Oxygenate (breath) and Seek solutions or a new direction when you have had time to remove yourself (as much as you can) from what you are doing.

As I state in my business brand statement. "Connecting you to you so you can confidently connect with others."
