Each one of us will be someone different at the end of this year and we can influence what we become - healthier, more peaceful, kinder, richer or whatever - or not. As Abraham Lincoln said, “the best way to predict the future is to create it.”
SHOW NOTES
On this 50th episode of Crina and Kirsten Get to Work, our hosts talk about intention in the workplace.

Mindfulness and awareness are good starts, but it is something more than this and requires the energy of effort, extending, moving in the direction of the end result. Here are some suggestions - and intentions should be positive, otherwise we risk sabotaging ourselves:
