Personal Development  

This week, the posts focus on our development and “significance”. The final post of the week adds another assessment to the list – Via Character Traits.

Pain and Vision. This first post of the week highlights and builds on a quote from Michael Beckwith that states “Pain pushes until vision pulls”.

Significant: How and For Whom? We all want to feel significant – like we are making a difference and an impact. This post suggests we frame both how and for whom we will be significant.

Consider Being Statistically Significant. Statistical significance has a cause that can be identified. This post takes that concept and applies it to intentional change.
