Building a rock-solid mentality

[#1]

Hello all!

Monday is back, along with a new CUG discussion from yours truly. Since Sept 13 marks Positive Thinking Day, why not talk about our mental health?

Whether you directly host CUG events or just attend the occasional get-together, life keeps throwing new challenges at us every day! High-performing athletes like Serena Williams, Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods all recognized the value of a clear mind, but turns out that's just as important in our day-to-day work.
