Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Change management & wellness
Stop in the name of … love? Peace? Sanity? Self-preservation? Yes. Stop. Third in a series, this post collects some wonderful musings of what some equally wonderful folk want to stop doing.

Wondering what this year will bring to your door? Wondering which paths to embark on and which to pass? Based on a series of posts I did last year on my to-do, to continue doing, to stop doing, not to do, to-done, and to’odle lists, this year I thought I’d ask which particular paths a […]

As someone who has fought the demons of drugs and alcohol and who has made his home on the streets, his velvety voice is at odds with his appearance. […]

Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Change management & wellness, Training & development
Washing hands prevents sickness, prevents spreading disease. Washing your hands properly can reduce your chances of death, yes death, by up to 35%. Nothing new there. Smoking kills.
