Craig Mongeau - October 2016
When we have time on the weekends, one of the things that my family and I like to do is to go to farmers’ markets.

Craig Mongeau - September 2016
One of my earliest memories as a child was travelling with my mother and father to Lake George. While there (and we went many times), we would ride the Minne Ha Ha.

Craig Mongeau - July 2016
One of the biggest, recurring problems in any workplace is poor communication. Bad communication can occur in many forms: sometimes it takes the guise of ambiguous objectives and goals set for a company’s or department’s employees; other times problems arise when there is too much conversation, such as sending a coworker 10 e-mails, when just one could have clearly stated what was needed or sending a confusing, poorly organized and written e-mail (did you ever receive an e-mail that you had to scroll down through a long line of replies and forwards just to figure out what it was about?)And sometimes it’s as simple as not clearly explaining to your employees, your boss, your customers or your residents how things are done. ... more on July 2016

Craig Mongeau - June 2016
The cliché, “Pick and choose your battles,” has always been a little confusing to me. I know that the philosophy, mostly applied in a work setting, means you can’t fight or argue over everything, so you kind of have to keep a running tab of the stuff that bothers you or you want changed and then, among those things, pick one or two and make your case. ... more on June 2016
