A few weeks ago, I went to New Orleans for Collision Conference. I only knew two people at the event, which was perfect, because my goal was to blend in with the crowd and learn about funding my company and hiring talented people. The conference was massive. With 20,000 people and a ton of booths,…
I’m on a lot of lists in real life, not just in my head. Most important lady in HR. Most influential human being in human resources. The top best greatest HR blog in the history of blogging. Top people who make stuff happen. I made it! Me! I’m number one! If there was ever any…
The problem with a lot of people in the workforce is that they confuse doing things for having power. Don’t make that mistake. Power has very little to do with effort.

Last week, I spoke to a conference of 400 logistics/delivery executives and owners about Millennials and generational differences in the workforce. Well, I talked to about half of them.

Option B is the saddest book I’ve ever read about resilience…

Unless your blog is your full-time job — or you see it as a legitimate side hustle — the quality will vary depending upon what’s happening in your real life. Do the kids have soccer practice? Is your spouse traveling for work?…

Dudes who’ve amassed wealth — thanks to sheer talent, institutional sexism, and pay inequality — invested early in the core components of the internet. They gave you everything you need to hate your job…
Did you know that Arianna Huffington runs an HR technology company? No?
