Productivity Expert Jason Womack Weighs In: “Is Your “Productivity” Influential?”

Posted March 15, 2013 at 8:00 am, by

By: Jason Womack What happens when you do what you say you will do, in the time you promised? Well, in social and professional circles you can gain trust with those you live and work with. And, the more you trust each other, the more amazing things you can do. And, isn’t that the point – to do important things?

Posted February 18, 2013 at 8:01 am, by

Today is President’s Day, which means for many of us a day off from working in honor of the first President of the United States, George Washington. Titled Washington’s Birthday, a federal holiday honoring George Washington was originally implemented by an Act of Congress in 1879 for government offices in the District of Columbia and expanded in 1885 to include all federal offices. As the first federal holiday to honor an American citizen, the holiday was celebrated on Washington’s actual birthday, February 22. On January 1, 1971, the federal holiday was shifted to the third Monday in February by the Uniform Monday Holiday Act. US Presidents have always been fascinating subjects, their lives scrutinized both during and following their presidencies…. read more
