Laurinda Bellinger
I have a couple of degrees and entered corporate America 20 years ago totally unprepared. As a result, I made every 
mistake possible and learned to thrive not only in corporate America but in life. I started my career as an engineer, full of myself and idolizing my intellect. People skills were horrible. It was only when I began working on my leadership skills and honestly getting over myself that I began to be comfortable in my own skin at work.
This is my personal blog where I share from my past and present life experiences. I blog about Leadership, social media, productivity, and anything else I believe helps people lead a better life. It’s my desire to see people “re-engineer” their thoughts towards leadership.
