It’s Career Development…on the cheap

March 9, 2009

Right now is a crazy time. People are losing their jobs, taking pay cuts, or going part-time. There are those who may still have a job, but it feels like they’re actually doing two jobs…or three. And the pay is the same or less. That’s usually the rub. You may work hard for the money, […]

Go Team, Go! Be Fans of Your Leaders

February 19, 2009

Last week, a number of regional leaders were in our corporate office for a meeting. I just happened to be walking by when they were getting a tour, and it was like a family reunion. I’ve done some kind of work with all of them, and the ones who I hadn’t met with face-to-face were […]

Not a Multi-Tasker?

January 30, 2009

I might be a little behind the times here…I’m a Verizon customer…but I just found out that the iPhone doesn’t allow for multitasking. Meaning if you want to stream radio and play games at the same time, it’s not possible. At least not on the same device. Now, I am taking this at the word […]

Standing Out When You’re Trying to Stay In

January 6, 2009

In the blogosphere, many are saying that we should be identifying challenges due to the economy not as constraints, but as opportunities. Try telling that to the low men on the totem pole. Companies will be making more tough decisions this coming year…in addition to the ones already made. And the sad truth is that […]
