I really love baths. For the past decade, or so, I’ve tried taking a bath every night. It’s my time. My gift to myself. There were times, in the past, when I took baths and answered work calls. Dumb move. Really, dumb move. Anyone will tell you that […]
We are about to hit the beginning of the work week. The unemployment rate is below 4%. There are a lot of job openings at different levels in different sectors. Organizations are looking to hire. However, we all went through a pandemic where we were forced, in some […]
When I first heard that New York, followed by California, would now require salary transparency I was hopeful. I thought it was a good move. I believe nothing hurts a company worse than lack of transparency. And, it starts with recruitment. When I interview candidates, I give them […]
I’ve been a bit down the last few weeks. As many of you have reminded me, grief has its own timetable. I’m still processing. As a psychologist, I’m self-reflecting, noting that I may perhaps be in the anger stage of grief. Being angry doesn’t ease the grief. It’s […]

I used to have a team mantra, that actually motivated quite a few individuals. It was: “work hard, play hard”. We were a bunch of traveling consultants- partly why I’ve been to 49 out of the 50 states- who were mission driven. But we were also quite susceptible […]
Performance reviews suck. And not only do they suck, they are useless. Ouch. There, I said it. Now we can move on. Well, I suppose I need to expand upon my topic sentence. That’s what ELA 101 (English Language Arts) course would state. Ok, I will so indulge. […]
