Are You A Debbie Downer or Devil’s Advocate?

Quick! What’s the first word that you see? And what do you think of seeing that word first? Does it fit your mood? Or your outlook on life? Or your environment or desire? And how do you feel about that word? I recently had an opportunity to do this exercise with a group of 20 […]
