A shout out to my amazing VA, Kim Wanamaker, for getting me Mel Robbin’s “The Let Them Theory.” In chapter one Mel talks about her first book, “The 5-Second Rule,” so I went back and read (ok, listened to) that first. If you haven’t read it yet, I really recommend it. Mel talks about …

But here’s the thing: If you’re smart about your career (and I know you are), you know that sometimes the most powerful move is to step back and reflect. Not …
