Coaching on Purpose: Interview with Anne Wayman
Happy Solstice! This is one of my favorite days of the year — the longest day. If it’s not pouring down rain like it has been all spring, I’ll be spending the first day of summer outside until the sun goes down –which takes it longer today than any other day of the year. Today…
