So Now You’re a Manager. Don’t Freak Out.

It has occurred to me lately that I probably should get paid for all the personal coaching work that I do. Although, I have to admit, I don’t have any official “credentials” as a coach, and quite frankly, if I were getting paid for it, I probably wouldn’t enjoy it nearly as much.

Follow up on Lost’s ARG: What went wrong, guys?

I tried to participate in LOST’s “Octagon Global Recruiting” ARG.  Really, I did.
