Devil Wears Prada Gives Great Fashion Lesson With a Touch of Self-AwarenessNo one purposely makes a bogus move hoping it will lead to a major screw up. It doesn't happen that way.

I worked hard at bringing out the best these folks had to offer both as individuals and as a team. I received a very positive review from my boss. He recognized my accomplishment as going beyond the call of duty when I had been taking for granted that I have a knack for running software projects on time and under budget. Career Crossroad? Let Me Show You What One Looks LikeIn a previous article I described how when preparing for a speaking engagement, I completed exercises from the book “What Color Is Your Parachute?” leading me to some personal discoveries. I was a software engineer, project manager and technical architect realizing I had stronger people skills than I had realized and I enjoyed using. My technical skills had been driving a successful career to date, but could this be a sign pulling me in another direction.
