Listening to Your Employees
Effective listening is essential to motivating employees. If you think about it, you always listen to the people you care about. Listen when your boss talks to you.

Lessons from Entrepreneurship
My entrepreneur journey officially began in 2012 as a freelance photographer, but as most entrepreneurs would say, it’s in my blood.
