The other day, I was having coffee with a friend, and we were discussing the importance of self-reflection. Not only individuals but also large companies benefit from it. Companies that value their employees consistently become more successful. There are platforms and organizations that guide people with professionals who can provide assistance and toolkits. Motivated employeesContinue reading “Self-reflection”
