As a personal trainer, I have always prided myself on saying goodbye to clients. When I’ve done my job right, they are empowered to live a healthy lifestyle on their own. They no longer need me, and that’s a victory! Unfortunately, I see too many programs that create crutches for people, and the relationship becomes […]
Remembering the Trailing Spouse
As a recruiter, are you considering the trailing spouse? You know, the one who has to give up everything and leave everyone behind to follow their spouse to their new job? If you aren’t, you are only handling half the equation. You see, if a new hire has an unhappy spouse who doesn’t adjust, plug […]
Bad Apples Poison the Whole Barrel
The saying, “Bad apples poison the whole barrel,” is old but still rings true today. I have personally experienced a bad hire above me that resulted in most of the good employees quitting, and I have witnessed it countless times in companies I’ve consulted with through the years. Not only does this destroy morale, but […]
Servant Leadership
I recently was included in an online article offering my take on Servant Leadership. You can read the piece here: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=futureofwork I thought I would dive a little deeper into the subject matter. Like anything, it’s an easy term to toss around, but living out Servant Leadership isn’t for everyone. First, you have to check […]
The Battle for Legitimacy
Arthur Burke (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbCRokqIHY9VWkPvmvBwqfcNtq-aEvW78) predicted it over 15 years ago, and here we are in 2021 with everyone desperately seeking legitimacy in all the wrong places. We are now requiring low-wage jobs to have Master’s degrees, and we have a certificate program for just about anything out there. You may have a degree and several certificates, […]
The Fear Challenge
Fear of itself isn’t bad. Appropriate fear prevents us from jumping off a treacherous cliff with rocks down below that will kill us. Fear can also warn us when danger is approaching to keep us safe. More often than not, though, fear paralyzes us, preventing us from being the best version of our self. Whether […]
Tomorrow is Another Day
Because I was never taught how to handle stress in a healthy manner, I have been sharing tools, tips, strategies and ways on stress management for years in hopes to help others avoid the burnout I experienced. Two important things you must understand about stress: 1) We will always have stress! We never arrive and […]
Are You Fit or Healthy?
Are you fit or healthy? That’s a trick question because I hope you are both! Unfortunately, many are one or the other. Back in 1997, I was exercising hours a day and weighed only 97 pounds at 5′ 10″. I was fit, but I was not healthy due to mismanaging stress. I thought I would […]
Choose Your Team Wisely
I’m an avid hiker, and back in 2007, I decided to hike Mt. Whitney, the tallest mountain in the contiguous United States and the Sierra Nevada, with an elevation of 14,505 feet. In order to hike this particular peak, you need a permit. It’s one of the busiest hikes in America. I set the date […]
What I Learned from My Mother
To all the moms out there, I hope you had a wonderful weekend and got to do whatever makes you happy. I lost my mom back in 1997, so the holiday is always a mix bag of emotions for me. I am grateful for my fur kids and the opportunity to provide them a healthy […]
