Articles of Interest (Mar. 23, 2017)

This blog continues to be an outlet for individuals to read and review articles from various sources that I feel that will help people regardless of where you are at in your professional journey.

Before I get started, I just wanted to write a public note of congratulations to friends and colleagues – Katie Lentz, Katie Mucci, Jim Naprstek, Katie Prchlik and Max Strauss – on being named to the Front Office Sports Rising 25 Class of 2017. The five have been instrumental parts of my professional journey. The work that Adam White and the team at Front Office Sports is remarkable and something that can benefit anyone and everyone.

If you'll be attending the upcoming CoSIDA Convention (as well as NACDA affiliate organizations), in an upcoming edition of the blog, there will be a special announcement that might be of interest to you.
Also, it was announced for the fifth year in a row that at the convention that there will be a time for young professionals to receive complimentary reviews of resumes, cover letters as well as mock interviews coordinated by Kristi Dosh from the BusinessofCollegeSports.com.

Something to consider: "Have you discovered the differences between problems and facts? Problems are things we can do something about; we can solve problems. Facts are things we can do nothing about; therefore we do well not to worry about them. We should apply energy only to those things we can change. When we do, we can feel peace and act with poise, because we no longer beat our heads against an unbreakable wall." – John Maxwell
