Ready to crush your FE or PE this year? Ready to crush your FE or PE this year?
Want to build stronger relationships—at work and a Want to build stronger relationships—at work and at home?

Try the power of the 3 C’s:
✔️ Congratulate
✔️ Compliment
✔️ Console

It’s simple, but it sticks. Whether you're leading a team, working with clients, or just being a better human—these three habits go a long way.

Master this, and you'll naturally become a better coworker, leader, friend, and entrepreneur.

Relationships drive results. Start with the 3 C’s.
From the Stage to the Exam Room: What James and th From the Stage to the Exam Room: What James and the Giant Peach Taught Me About the FE and PE

Today, I got to watch my daughter shine in her school play (OK it was just a practice), James and the Giant Peach. She crushed it (yes, I'm a proud dad), and while I was there, something clicked.

Every performance like this takes weeks of rehearsal, repetition, and nerves. It's all about showing up, putting in the work, and eventually stepping out under the lights, even if you're not 100% sure how it'll go.

Kind of like preparing for the FE or PE exam, right?

You don’t pass these exams by luck. You pass them by practicing the problems, knowing your lines (aka the equations), and having the guts to show up and give it your best—even when the nerves hit.

So whether you're studying late nights or heading into your first attempt (or third!), remember this: progress takes practice—and you’re not alone in the performance.

Break a leg.
