Conformity Kills Creativity

Uniqueness is a strength

For the first time in American history, we are seeing a trend to conform rather than be unique. We have been a country as diverse as the innovations we create; yet, there is a push for us all to look alike, most alarming, to think alike. Under the guise of tolerance, there is a one-sided […]

A Solution in Search of a Problem

Let's work together

I know I am going against the trendy culture here, but someone has to speak the truth about the ridiculousness of diversity and inclusion initiatives. It is truly a solution in search of a problem. Let me explain my take on this… When we focus on dividing us up into classes, segments, races and genders, […]

Creating Solutions that Get Results!

Help meet needs

Long before I had my own business, I was the person to call when you needed something. It didn’t necessarily mean I would deliver, but I knew who could. I’ve always been about helping people by bringing them together. I create solutions that get results! I recently saw the movie, Courier, with Benedict Cumberbatch where […]

Quit Looking for Purple Unicorns

Quit looking for purple unicorns

I have experienced all sides of the hiring process. Obviously back in my corporate days, I was interviewed for positions I held. As a leader, I conducted interviews to hire team members, and as a recruiter, I assist companies to find the right people for the right seats. Through the years, I have seen a […]

Don’t Assume

Focus on yourself

While walking my dog the other day, a lady approached me laughing. She said that from a distance, it appeared I wasn’t wearing pants. She was taken back by this and her mind was already racing with judgements and what she would say to me for such an atrocity. When she got closer, she realized […]

Feelings vs Facts

Facts not feelings

If I had to sum up succinctly what I feel is wrong in our country right now, I would say our emotional intelligence as a whole is in the basement. Emotional intelligence (EQ) is our ability to sense, understand and effectively apply the power and acumen of emotions to facilitate higher levels of collaboration and […]

Good Decisions + Time Management = Success

Success takes work

If you are a baker, you know it isn’t just having the right ingredients but how you put them into the mix that matters. Unlike cooking, baking is more precise. One mistake can ruin the entire batch. The wrong bowl temperature is the difference between perfect meringue and a flop. Success is no different. It […]
