Perhaps you made a resolution for this new year. Maybe it’s to drop a few extra pounds, quit an unhealthy habit or something in between. Many resolutions seem to center around personal improvement.
This year, why not resolve to better your personal AND professional skills? And hey, there’s no exercise, dieting or nicotine patches required!
