Obstacles


So many obstacles can get in the way of keeping the focus on Why We Do What We Do. Once those obstacles start piling up, our mind stays averted from our true focus; the very thing that keeps us motivated to do what we do. I often wonder why it is that the jobs and the work that do the most good are often the most stressful. What are the obstacles that get in your way and how do you overcome them?

Juggling


Being a director of a social service agency in the world of a state-run fee-for-service system is like juggling 27 balls in the air and each ball has a different consequence and a different department to answer to if it should fall.
