In today's episode I talk about adapting to technology changes, especially for people who are getting older. With new AI technology, it can be a challenge to decipher when things are really what ...

Ah, we all have different opinions on manners, but one thing is for sure: to bring your best manners forward when working with people is a great way to share kindness.

My latest line is, "Don't mind me, I'll be 60 in a year." It's true, I'm 59 years old and headed into a different time of my life. I don't care anymore if my socks match or if I wore the same pants three days in a row. Make-up or no-make up, I am still me and that's the way it is. I'm young en...
