I’m fascinated by people who change their lives. I was lucky enough to see a bunch of friends and colleagues at my friend’s 40th birthday party, last summer. These are bloggers, speakers and HR professionals whom I knew when I was younger but haven’t hung out with in many years. What was clear at that…
I’m here for student protests. Have passion? Make a statement. The louder, the better. What I don’t love are school-sponsored “student protests” that hop on the bandwagon and co-opt the non-specific negative feelings about guns and turn raw emotion into an adult-centered activity focused on bullshit concepts like community and togetherness. Listen, community and togetherness…
I did a Facebook Live with author and noted workplace expert Dr. Patti Fletcher, last week, and it was something else. Have a look. I’ve done local access cable TV in the late 1980s, and early morning TV here in North Carolina. There’s no doubt broadcasting from your computer is more like local access, but, if…
I’ve been asked to produce an online video series to help you be better in human resources. I haven’t jumped at the chance, mostly because this is not my dream, but, also, because the verdict is still out on whether video is the great platform disruptor in learning. Just because video is hot right now…
Many of you know that my cat Jake died in November. A dear friend of mine sent a gift, and I wanted to show you. Sometimes being on the internet is all about preserving an image and building a brand, and sometimes it’s about being authentic and showing off your cat tchotchkes. I don’t need…
I’ve been working on my podcast, this month, and I’ve learned a lot about work, life, and the fantastic people in my network. My podcast is called Let’s Fix Work. It will be out at the beginning of April. I’ve been speaking to people with concrete ideas on how to fix work. Rather than a…
I don’t buy into the trope that looking for a job is like dating. Nothing could be further from the truth. While both are miserable, you have more power when you date. You have the option to say no and decline further contact. Can’t do that with your job. But I had breakfast with a…
Work-life balance is tough for everybody including public speakers. It’s hard to maintain relationships when you’re always on the road. Nevermind social media, it’s challenging to stay in contact with colleagues and loved ones when you don’t sit still for five minutes. But it’s vital to make time and be thoughtful with travel and commitments. Otherwise,…
I have always been taken with this quote. Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek. — Barack Obama I’ve been thinking about leadership and reading lots of blog posts on what it takes…
I’m about to kick off my Men Behaving Badly 2018 world tour. (The first person to tell me “not all men” gets banned for life.) The tour begins in New York City where I’ll be joined by Kate Bischoff to talk about sexual harassment in the art community. Then it’s off to Boston for further…
