Change is an inevitable part of every company’s journey. Whether it’s a shift in culture, direction or organization, every team eventually needs renewal: fresh ideas, new strategies and a refocused mission to keep progress alive. But with renewal often comes one of the most difficult steps in business: layoffs. Sometimes, to grow stronger, a company must streamline by trimming teams, sharpening its core ambitions, focusing on its strengths and retaining those most committed to its vision. When handled well, restructuring can be transformative; but when mishandled, it can derail even the most promising enterprise. It’s one of the most delicate…

My time for self-care shrank dramatically, so I had to learn how to work smarter, not harder. When I find something that’s quick, simple, and actually effective—I share it.This one comes from Dr. Perry…

Previously, my athletic shoe collection had been limited to, well, shoes that exude a purely sporty look and feel, including Nike and Asics running shoes. While my preferred sneakers were perfect for sweat sessions, they weren’t really as stylish as the walking sneakers I’d spotted on various fashion-forward people and celebrities.
