The 2017 HR Technology Conference & Exposition is more than just a conference. It’s a vibrant and robust community.

I was on a JetBlue flight that hit a bird. Well, it hit a bird on its way to Raleigh. Apparently, nobody thought it was a big deal. We boarded the aircraft as if the bird incident were just a minor inconvenience. Bird? What bird? That’s not a hazmat crew scrubbing off a dead goose.…
Today is my niece’s birthday. She is eight-years-old and, in my opinion, absolutely sassy. Last year, we celebrated her birthday in style. I booked a corner suite at the Hard Rock Hotel in Chicago that overlooked North Michigan Avenue. We held a surprise party at the American Girl Store, and then we went shopping for…

My friend Mollie Lombardi is passionate about finding a cure for Parkinson’s Disease. Because I love her, I’m passionate about it, too. That’s how life works. You get involved in charitable causes because you care about someone. Mollie created a movement called HR Gives Back, and we’re doing a “steps challenge” before my very favorite…
