International Communication

After graduation I will be traveling to Europe for a few weeks, so I decided to looks for tips on communicating to use while I am there. I don't know if I should attempt to modify my accent though. I feel like it would be horrible to attempt and I'm sure that I would butcher it as well.

Neat Video

Found another video that I thought was interesting. Susan brings up a great point about leadership and getting noticed. "Using the greatness in you to achieve and sustain extraordinary outcomes by engaging the greatness in others." People often believe they are great leaders because they get results, but a true leader inspires other to be great as well.

New Job

I decided that I would continue with my blog about my previous employer who yelled at a fellow employee. Since then, I have switched jobs and I must say that I love my new job. Everyone treats each other with respect and all communication is concise and clear. It truly is amazing how these little things can affect your life in such a big way.
