		<description><![CDATA[This week there&#8217;s been a common theme that has come up that has intrigued me. It&#8217;s the difference between communicating &#8220;done&#8221; and &#8220;draft&#8221;. When work is sent to me on a project that I&#8217;m responsible for, I have completely different feedback if I think you&#8217;re &#8220;done&#8221; vs it&#8217;s a &#8220;draft&#8221; you&#8217;re showing me. You come [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve noticed that often people will say something like &#8220;I&#8217;d like to meet with you about X&#8221;. Unfortunately, if will often not happen. When you are requesting a meeting, or responding to a meeting request, there are a few things to be sure to do to make sure it happens. In my opinion, a good [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You are asked to get information from someone, where do you start? If you know the person and have worked with them, then it is easy &#8211; you know how to communicate with them. If you don&#8217;t know the person, you have to figure out what forms of communication they use to be able to [...]]]></description>

It appears that, out of the sites that I maintain, the most popular time of the day on these sites appears to be between 11AM and 1PM. I was intrigued, my mind wandered, and , I wonder what [...]]]></description>

While I&#8217;m sure that you think you&#8217;re amazing, everyone is just not the same as you. If they were the same as you, life would be boring. You don&#8217;t want [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A very common question asked at work is the question &#8211; &#8220;Is it possible?&#8221;  This question is flawed by nature, because so many things are possible.  Is it possible that I drive down the road 100 miles an hour on my motorcycle without a helmet?  Cringingly I would have to answer honestly and say, &#8220;Yes&#8221;.

		<description><![CDATA[If you have ever told me anything exciting, you may have not received the best response. I probably questioned what you said, wasn&#8217;t excited for you. I would assume I listened to what you said, then thought of a reason that it&#8217;s not exciting. I suck at this&#8230; but I&#8217;m improving. When someone is excited [...]]]></description>
