Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

The Holiday Season provides us all a time for reflection and gratitude for family, friends, and associates. In this spirit, in lieu of sending the traditional holiday greeting cards, this edition of the TEC Leadership eNotes is dedicated to wishing you every happiness this Holiday Season and throughout the New Year.

My gift to you in this Holiday Edition includes an article on gratitude, a strong urging to consider a comprehensive yearly physical exam, and  lessons about success from Jack Canfield, the author of the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” series and speaker at the recent TEC member conference,
