Which project, deal or transaction was the "game changer" in the advancement of your career?

The most successful way to increase referrals is to refer others and never turn away business or networking opportunities. The more people one knows, the more business one can do!

What is your favorite tip for balanced living?
My favorite tip for balanced living is keep it simple and enjoy everything you do.
Where would you like to be in 10 years?
In 10 years I would like to be in the C-Suite of the company for which I currently work.
