WORK_SPACE BLOG

The Entrepreneurs' Alphabet of Values By: Stacey Zackin , WORK_SPACE Manager L is for LOVE Love might seem like an odd value to explore in a blog focused on business, but it can be quite relevant and fulfilling if we choose to see its significance. The dictionary defines love in multiple ways: A deep and tender feeling of affection, fondness, or devotion. A natural affinity for another, manifesting itself in concern for their welfare and pleasure in their presence. The development of an emotional and benevolent attachment of people or entity. A feeling of brotherhood and good will. Although these meanings might seem self-evident, yet it is worth looking a little deeper.   READ MORE...
