I watched an obscure 2017 movie called, Aftermath, with Arnold Schwarzenegger. It didn’t do well in theaters, and I don’t necessarily recommend it. However, the moral of the story needs to be shared. The basis of the movie is a plane crash and how it impacts both the air traffic controller who made a huge […]

YOUR HEALTH If you have ever injured yourself, you have experienced pain. Your body speaks to you through pain censors that say “OUCH” and “that huts!” Ignore this message, and you will end up with a more severe injury that will cause you long-term pain and suffering. I always say listen to your body’s […]

YOUR HEALTH In my latest book, Defy Your Diagnosis, I outline some key principles for creating the kind of health you desire. The first step is to define what you want it to look like. This is simple yet difficult as we can get caught up in settling for what others tell us our health […]
Stop Wasting Recruiting Efforts
Every recruiter has encountered the extremely frustrating situation when all their recruiting efforts are flushed down the tubes when the hiring manager changes his or her mind, goes in a different direction or simply doesn’t like the candidates presented.

YOUR HEALTH I have been an advocate of selfcare long before it was popular. I was forced into it by having much of my health taken away from me at a young age. Like many things, I believe the pendulum as swung too far over now, and people are becoming selfish in the name […]
Hiring the Right People Saves You Money
The employment market is absolutely insane right now. With all the government assistance, many people have zero incentive to work. Those who have been and are working are swaping jobs over small increases. All of this is making it tempting to just put “butts in the seat,” but I am here to tell you how […]
The Will to Work
Across the country, businesses are struggling to get people back to work. The will to work is weak! It can’t be taught in schools, and it most certainly can’t be trained on the job. No, the will to work is born in us and fostered by our parents. We are paying the price for a […]
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 […]

YOUR HEALTH I love this quote: “We don’t sit in meditation to become good meditators. We sit in meditation so that we will be more awake in our lives.” (Pema Chődrőn – Comfortable with Uncertainty). There it is, and it is why so many people struggle with simply being. We are a country of doers, […]
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 […]
