Leaders vs. Leadership   We all have hopefully, at some point in the year, begun to understand that being a leader is not just a one dimensional role. Leaders have a duty: to create and foster effective leadership in the respective community they serve or are working for. One way of looking at what effective […]

I’m going to go off of my usual topic here and write about street fashion. I really do love a good fashion/personal style blog (my favorites are here and here) and something I’ve noticed rapidly growing in the fashion blogging world is street fashion.

Without good management skills things get […]

Lately, I’ve been dealing a lot with conflict analysis. As leaders, conflict is destined to arise, whether it be with another person or with people who follow our lead. In any case, we have to learn how to manage conflict effectively. One thing college has definitely taught me is how to interact with people from […]
