I learned a new term last week—Duty of Care. Don’t worry, not because something crazy happened, but because my mom’s seatmate on a flight home was in charge of Duty of Care for a large corporation. I had never heard the term before, but as soon as I did I made sure my company has…
I flew into Pensacola late Monday night. Yesterday I spent all day in an office (where people who do not work for that company can’t bring in their laptops–but that’s a story for another day). Let’s just say it was a loooong day, starting with a breakfast meeting at 730 am and ending with a…
