YOUR HEALTH We all know how yoga can help us stretch, strengthen, and stabilize, but did you know the practice of meditation can also dislodge deeply buried feelings? If you have ever stuffed your feelings, they embed within your body. Over time without knowing it, these unresolved emotions can turn dark, ugly, angry, […]
Hiring Tips
We have the largest generation in the history of our country in the workplace right now combined with several other generations; yet, we have a worker shortage. Last week, I exposed age discrimination. If you can’t fill job openings at your company, you have age discrimination happening. This week I wanted to offer some […]

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. If you didn’t show up for work, you considered yourself fired. But apparently, we care more about being politically correct […]

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
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. We are talking about people here, and any time people are involved, it gets messy. However, […]
