I have been championing wellness and stress management for well over 20 years now. Getting corporations to acknowledge and understand the correlation between employee health and their bottom line has been an uphill battle…until now. I’m hoping a positive that has come out of our COVID-19 pandemic is an awareness and acknowledgement of the importance […]
Who Do You Want to Hire
As an executive recruiter, I must ask multiple questions to gain knowledge as to the type of role needing filled as well as the particular type of individual who would be well suited for the position.

YOUR HEALTH I recently took a course about childhood-obesity to keep up with my fitness professional CEU’s, and I wanted to share how serious this is in our country with you.

In fact, as I sit in my home office—which I have operated […]
Retain Top Talent with Proper Motivation

Recruiting the Right Way
