Happy Tuesday,   I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend and that it came with all the trimmings, despite distancing protocols.   I just finished a leadership coaching session with one of my clients. There has been tremendous progress in her organization and particularly in her growth as a leader.   I asked her,

Happy Friday!   This is Thanksgiving weekend, let’s face it – it’s rather confusing who & who can’t come (I was joking, we should have our family thanksgiving at Movati Athletic- that way 50 of us could come for dinner)   It’s still thanksgiving.   We have a bunch to be thankful for.   As
