YOUR HEALTH As you may or may not know, I teach yoga a couple times a week. I tell students we will stretch, strengthen, and stabilize every class. Most importantly, we will practice proper breathing. Once the doors close, we concentrate on inhaling deeply and exhaling out completely. It takes work because most people […]
We Get What We Give
Wherever I go these days, businesses are complaining about how they can’t get people to work. We are all paying the price of businesses being short-handed: long lines and waits, confusion and chaos, bad customer service from lack of training, and actual closures or loss of services completely. I’m constantly reading how employees get […]

YOUR HEALTH Here we are in 2022, and I still hear women say, “I don’t do weights.” I understand lifting heavy weights may not be someone’s cup of tea, but we all must be working on our strength or we will find ourselves without any. Besides building up muscle and burning fat, resistance […]
Performance Should Matter
I know I am not the only person shaking their head wondering, “What the heck happened?” When I was in corporate American, you either did your job right, or you didn’t have a job.

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 […]
Stop Wasting Recruiting Efforts

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 […]
F.I.T. is Important
If you have been to my website, heard me speak or worked with me, you know that I am all about the F.I.T. – Function, Integration and Training. As someone who has spent 20+ years in the talent management space, if you don’t’ care about the F.I.T., you will continue to lose the best people […]
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 […]
