Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Change management & wellness, Training & development
How long have you been tying your shoes? Me – I remember knocking on a neighbours door and then realizing my shoelace was untied. For the first time I tied my shoes all on my own. I was so excited I ran home to tell my home, forgetting about the door I’d just knocked on. […]
