Speed Wobbles

The Key to staying Committed
I once heard a great statement from the CEO of the Union of Ontario Indians. While speaking to his team about staying committed he said, “If I’m not doing my job, please let me know, but don’t let it stop you from doing your job.” I will always remember this piece of wisdom, and I’ve […]
