Something that ended in my past, allowed me to have new opportunities and challenges in my life, and the outcomes I got were always positive, whether itContinue reading “New Beginnings”
Chrysalis ~ Why the caterpillar must die
If you ask anyone to give you a symbol of transformation and you will most probably get a mention of the caterpillar.

Challenge the Status Quo
I recently joined Brillio and as part of the onboarding journey, we were taken through the company culture and values. One of the four values is an Entrepreneurial Spirit, to always challenge the status quo with a ‘can do’ attitude. Smart people, by their very design and nature, will not automatically be “yes” men.
