This blog is dedicated to hard-working professionals that strive to balance forward growth while continuing to achieve personal, educational, and employer goals. One of the many positive things I learned in my MBA was that there is no right or wrong answer to success. Success is generated by your passion which motivates you to continue to learn, love, and express in your life, and in your career. This blog is a series of experiences, recommendations and synopsis’s that many people in organizational leadership/management face. In this blog we will touch on topics like marketing for the Millennial generation (’iGen”) and what characteristics to look out for. We will break down the details so that when you’re preparing your marketing plan you will have many essential details to work with.

    Mike,

    Hi, I found your site & blog because Kathy Ripka’s husband Steve is my cousin!

    My son is in IT also. Anyway, everything about your work is so professional
    except for one word. You say in this blog “THERE THE BEST”, what you mean is “THEY’RE THE BEST”.

    Good luck, wish you were a relative!

    All the best,

    Nancy Moore

    Hi Nancy! What type of IT work does your son do? Does he have a website? Kathy and Steve Ripka are great people to be around. We have had the privilege to spend some good time with them the last few weeks.
