It’s the season of glitter and shine. The beauty grabs our gaze. We like new, shiny things. It’s true in our personal and business lives. We are drawn to the shiny object and its promise. There is a different kind of beauty in the world too; the wisdom that comes with time and has patina. Experience and insight honed over time has its own beauty. It might not glisten, but it has been there and weathered the storm, and been resilient. It has perspective. Business needs both the shiny and patina to succeed in the short and long term. Promise with Perspective is a powerful combination. During this holiday season, enjoy all the shine, but be sure to reflect on the lessons and those who have brought you wisdom. And, here is to a New Year of Promise, Perspective and Prosperity.
