Last week, we were catching up at an office happy hour, and she told me about a neat concept that a mentor had taught her: Everyone goes through life seeking “the three Ps”: place, person, and passion.

Energy Audit

I know it’s only Wednesday, but wow, what an amazing week so far! I’m out in sunny California to observe a training program that all our senior associates go through shortly after promotion, and preparing to potentially take on a part-time role helping to deliver the program in the future. Fingers crossed that I get the role, as it’s one I’m really passionate about! The “Discover Program” is all about exploring yourself and your values to be able to make more effective choices about your life and your career. It’s a lot of self-discovery, leadership development exercises, and tips on …
