Most recruiters are lazy. Things are broken, great talent is slipping through companies’ fingers, and no one is doing anything about it. Is it because they don’t want to, or because they don’t know how to? Today Laurie talks to ‘America’s Best Recruiter,’ Tim Sackett. Tim answers the most common questions he gets from talent…
I’ve been traveling all over, this spring, attending conferences and networking with amazing talent-focused business leaders. One thing that’s true for every event? Almost everybody is looking for a new job. I’ve had hundreds of in-person conversations since the beginning of the year with HR folks who are miserable. Complaining incessantly about their leadership teams.…
With all the wisdom out there about creating a great culture at work, you might think companies would have it well in hand by now. Unless you work in one of those companies getting it wrong. Creating a great culture at work isn’t as easy as it sounds. Sometimes it’s up to you to be…
Work is broken. I’m here to fix it. Every two weeks, I’m bringing you interviews and insights from my friends — people who are changing the world, taking risks and showing up every damn day to say NO to corporate bullshit, misogyny, institutional racism and everything else that is wrong with how we earn our…
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.

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…
