My blog is meant to express the additional research avenues while working on my dissertation toward my DBA degree. I hope to become Dr. Stephanie Diana Eubank DBA or, as my family (my Big Bear and my Baby Bears), Dr. Bear lovingly calls me.

Since starting this blog, I have started my own consulting firm Wicked B of The West, to help companies cultivate their remote teams and the leaders that work with them. If interested, please check out my social media at:
