Not only did I feel this exact stigmatization toward my Social skills and Social career options growing up, but I perpetuated them by believing that I could excise them by working in “Social” settings, parameters and frameworks within the field of marketing. Upon further reflection,

I've been volunteering at a Suicide Hotline in Los Angeles for a few months.  You would think that this opportunity would be incredibly depressing and eventually make me, by association, suicidal.  However, not only have I had the pleasure of meeting some of the most compassionate and insightful individuals while volunteering, I have had the pleasure of being reminded by callers, on a weekly

I just received a wonderful email about my last entry: "I really enjoyed your latest entry, "My Experience in Business." You are definitely a Gen Y'er. Your perception of the workplace is similar to mine, but we differ on the "lifestyle of an office worker".  Having been an office worker for some time, I have experienced office life long enough to know that it's not as black-and-white as Gen

Growing up in Santa Cruz County, CA, I feel I had an early insight into the work/life dynamic.  From my early memories of it, people in Santa Cruz County had a varied life.  It can be a challenge to find decent paying work in the County so many people commute into Silicon Valley, and elsewhere, to find work.  You also have a University, a few major companies, number of tourist attractions and

I grew up in Central California.  I moved to Southern California and eventually to Los Angeles after college.  I started working for a few of the entertainment studios here in LA and after finding a lack of fit within my career and my ideals, I decided to indulge my lifelong interest in personal growth, psychology, mental health, positive psychology and whatever other label you would like to

I have a number of reasons for starting this blog. I wish to practice my writing, provide content for my Facebook Page and Twitter Page as well as set up a Blog for my eventual online website. Selfish motives aside I do hope, if someone is able to find this Blog in the oversaturated and fragmented online world of today, that I can help someone. If this blog was able to help ANYONE, this Blog
