I’m writing this note to inform you that the Workplace Harassment Summit was canceled because we got him. That one guy who was making your job a nightmare? It’s over for him thanks to the #MeToo movement, so there’s no need for me to do a talk in New York City on January 29th. Okay,…
I am doing 2018 differently. This year, I knocked out all three annual cat exam visits in January. Over the past ten days, I hauled each of my girls to the office and went through the checklist of shit that might be wrong. They’re all in exceptional health. Roxy is a terrorist kitten. Molly lost…
The world’s smartest women offer some career advice for 2018. It goes like this: Be your authentic self. Confidence is key. Be open to opportunities. Surround yourself with good people. Find the right balance for you. I love all of these women, but this list is recycled garbage. Everybody knows that you can’t be your…
If you listen carefully, every news story is an HR story. Currently, business journalists are excited about the race to be the first $1 trillion company.

Hello, everybody. Hope your new year is off to a good start. My first five days of 2018 have been a joke. It’s snowing and extraordinarily chilly in Raleigh, which is uncommon. I’ve had a cold for nine days which has me talking like Jacob Silj, and now I have a stye in my eye…
I have a lot of firsts in my life. I’m the first in my family to finish college. The first to have a corporate job, travel abroad and see the world. Early to a world with a social footprint and a public life. Also, I was early in my career. Learned about the cloud and…
Hi, everybody! It’s January, and I’m pleased to see that the #MeToo movement hasn’t become the everybody-hates-men-circus that people predicted. Although it’s never too late for the bottom to fall out, I suppose. Instead, many people are having serious discussions about how companies can protect all workers from abuse and harassment. TLNT is hosting an…
I am so excited to read books with you! Welcome to the first month of HR Book Club. Our theme for January is wellness, which means something different for everybody. Some people hear the word “wellness” and think detox, diet and exercise. Others think of spiritual journeys and Himalayan salt lamps. I think all of…
