Here we are with more violence and yet another discussion of misogyny without any real answers or solutions. We have #yestoallwomen and #notallmen, but no conversations about what it is like to be a decent human being with a big heart. We don’t see people who think and act beyond themselves. There is no hashtag to celebrate the…
Last year, a friend offered her company’s social media services. She volunteered to help me follow amazing people on Twitter, clean up my Facebook profiles, and manage my LinkedIn account. If I liked her services, I only needed to recommend her company to other busy professionals who use social media platforms. I first noticed something…
You might think cats are independent and aloof. Not mine. I have velcro cats. They love me. They love my husband. They always want to hang out with us. I can’t go to the bathroom without someone coming to see what the heck I’m doing. “You might be having some fun, mom. I want in.”…
I am speaking at an event called recruitDC on Thursday. I will talk about personal branding for HR and recruiting professionals. I have given this talk 100 times. Sometimes it’s geared for human resources professionals. Sometimes I talk to job seekers. And I have delivered this keynote in a bar to a bunch of drunks-slash-comedians. (This is…
I am just back from a great vacation where I spent Mother’s Day on a beach. That’s the kind of life you have when you are a writer who covers work, life and cats. Mother’s Day always prompts a superficial and short-lived national discussion motherhood, work, and the challenges facing the modern family. Nobody wants…

Yes, there is a moderator for an HRCI-certified internet chat…
I am about to keynote a fun event in Grand Cayman for the second year in a row. It’s probably one of the best HR conferences I’ve ever attended because it helped to shape my thinking on the subject of strategy. Your CEO has a coach. Your CFO has a mentor. They have someone who has…
I am pretty excited to host a webinar called, “HR Wins: Real Stories of Successful Talent Management Journeys.” Honestly, I am tremendously lucky to work with my dear friend, Connie Costigan, who is the Marketing Director at Halogen Software. Connie introduced me to Shelley Johnson, Tia Smith, and Andrea Resnik. These are three amazing women…
You have earned a vacation day. Whether or not you can afford a vacation is another story. Although many people are still mired in the credit card debt from before the recession, it’s still possible to turn off the computer and take a break from work without breaking the budget. Think local. Do you ever…
I was lucky enough to participate in a webinar with Gene Pease and Vestrics on the subject of workforce analytics. Gene and I talked about the future of human resources (people, data, information), and he took the time to define measurements, metrics and analytics for HR professionals. We both agree that the words are misused. If…
