While in personal relationships, it is generally a good rule of thumb not to give advice unless you are asked for advice, we have found that in our professional lives, truly good advice is almost always welcome. So in gratitude for the advice given to us, and in the spirit of the season, we want to share our favorites with our community of friends,…

Spring tends to be a time of reflection, renewal and rediscovery. We decided to take advantage of the sentiment and in an informal exercise, our team all took the abbreviated Myers-Briggs personality test via 16 Personalities to see where each of us lands.
