During my walk, I reflected on my participation last March in the annual National Day of Unplugging , a 24-hour digital detox when you don’t use technology, Internet, or mobile phone in order to reduce stress.

I decided several weeks ago, for a variety of reasons, to retire my independent consultant hat. Being an independent consultant was, for me, a way to feel like I was using my skills for the greater good.
