Careers aren't like the ladders on the cover of most career books, they usually require a map so you can choose your own adventure.

Sometimes it’s up to you to rewrite the story. For me, I hope to rewrite the story of a building at Georgia Institute of Technology that caused me great stress as a student.

It can be scary, isolating, and lonely to be one of “the few” but for those who can find their voice, their confidence, and their place in the absence of a crowd, the reward is worth it.

The end of summer and the return of school means changes for lots of families. In my house, that means that our evenings are now full of activities instead of time with friends in the pool. It also means I am out of the house for a full day twice a week …

What if we all decided to help each other out and fill the comments below with ideas for creating a rite of passage for our professional teams?

Do you see a turtle in the picture? Even though it is colored with assorted rainbow beads, can you still see the turtle? Could you celebrate the accomplishments of the tiny artist who made this turtle even though it isn’t the way you would do it?
