The Visibility Dilemma
It is amazing how fast things can change. I was going through my files, trying to find some inspiration for this week’s blog and came across a draft I had written awhile back, prior to starting my blog.

Illuminating Opportunities: My Approach as an Aligned Business Strategist
The title "Aligned Business Strategist" wasn't something I came up with on my own. It was gifted to me by my friend Jennifer Curfman from Untamed Creative during a website copy collaboration.

It was a world where long hours and sacrifices were the norm. You need me to stay until 9pm to prove I’ve got what it takes? Sure, no problem. I have to miss my little sister’s graduation from high school, because the movie takes priority? Oof, okay. Processing payroll with a skull splitting migraine? Yep, where else could I be.
From Knowing to Doing: Embracing the Power of Applied Knowledge
I recently had an eye-opening conversation with my brilliant friend Cassandra (you can check her work out here) and she shared a quote by Dale Carnegie that struck a chord with me: "Knowledge isn't power until it is applied."
This simple yet profound statement made me pause and reflect on my own journey.
