Joe,
Thanks for the kind mention amid the great company. I rely on all of them as well with one, up to now, exception: to my embarrassment, I had not been aware of Dr. Pattakos’s site, and am already enjoying exploring it - thanks for tipping me to it.
Thanks also for your really terrific series - I certainly look forward to the next on managing people.
Thanks again and Happy Holidays!
Hi Jim,
Dr. Pattakos is a wonderful writer and tremendous resource. I had the good fortune of spending time with him at his offices in Santa Fe, NM last year. Truly a life-changing experience. I highly recommend him and his work.
Thank you for your kind words and encouragement.
You are a busy beaver (burro), Joe!
Thanks for the kind words about All Things Workplace–looking forward to reading your series through year-end.
Hi Steve,
Thanks for visiting! It is a Happy Burro’s life, indeed.
