A Thank You Letter to the
Plano Chamber Membership
"Dear Plano Chamber Members,
My amazing journey of leadership with the Plano Chamber of Commerce began in September 2010, when a group of board members met with me to extend an offer for employment. Little did I know what an adventure the next 8+ years would be. As I wrap up my final days here at the Plano Chamber, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to each of you and to the greater Plano community for an enriching, collaborative, and productive tenure."

3 Ways to End Chronic Complaining at Your Company
I just happened to be walking past the TV not too long ago and saw the Today show's third hour, the one where they deal with less serious topics. The anchors were talking about something they were doing all week, a "
complaint
cleanse."
Here are three things I'm going to do as part of my own "complaint cleanse," and I invite you to join me.
Start now,
and we can all head into the summer with good intentions.
