Why Environment is Important

November 16, 2017 By Wendy Wickham 1 Comment

In my experience, I do my best work in environments where my personal values and talents can thrive. Environments where who I AM is appreciated, not just the work product, or skills they think I bring to the table, or how many hours I put in at the office. Work and life are not separate […]
