If you read my bio, you know I’m a music fan. In particular, I get excited by loud, vibrant and heart-stopping tunes. So when a former colleague messaged me he was touring with AC/DC and they’d be in Houston, I had no shame in asking (ok… begging) him for tickets. Not only did we have amazing seats, but he also hooked …
I had an HR Pro who totally “gets it”—whom I really, really like and completely respect—tell me he doesn’t do Facebook. Hmmm. Actually, I get it and don’t hold it against him. And I imagine many of you HR pros don’t do Facebook either. I don’t judge. In this conversation I quickly told him I’m addicted. Well, in many ways …
I am just home from Las Vegas. My meetings coincided with the SHRM Annual Conference, and I was able to meet human resources leaders from around the world who talked about attending sessions about executive compensation, defined benefit pension plans, and social media. You know who I didn’t meet? Talent acquisition professionals under the age of thirty. There’s a quirky …
The NBA Championship is over, yet there is a lot of chatter about the tense relationship between LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers coach, David Blatt. After observations regarding body language and confirmation that James called for substitutions and dismissed plays, more and more is being made about the deteriorating relationship. Larry Brown, long-time coach of many stars like Reggie …
Whatever… I know it’s late. But my turn wasn’t up yet. Still, despite the late timing, I can’t let my opportunity pass without paying homage to the one and only Leonard Nimoy. I grew up with Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock—a beautiful 1970s bromance. Captain Kirk was the epitome of leadership. He was strong. He was decisive. He was good …
What?!? Oh yeah, I’m serious! I want HR Managers to be over 40. But I have a method to that madness as millenials start to curse me out. It’s the experience factor… both of life and work. I look at HR, and I see an industry encumbered by policies, rules and regulations. Get your Bachelor’s, your Master’s and a PHR. …
I received the below text from my best friend last week (pardon any talk-to-text typos). She’s a healthcare recruiter down in South Florida and isn’t exactly crazy about her career. Like me, she spent a couple of her post-grad years working retail. It was 2008, and the times were rough. Retail was a secure option with solid pay and benefits. …
While the coupling of a dashboard-thumping Beastie Boys hit single and a Starbuck’s Venti coffee is enough fuel to send most of today’s workforce into their nine-to-five on an intergalactic high note, for some, morning motivation has recently taken on a new form with Daybrearker—a morning movement that will start your day off unlike anything else. Complete with pulsating music, …

I make training software for growing businesses and I was born in 1988, so you could say I have a unique perspective on the millennial-training conundrum, which effectively posits that the millennial generation is annoyingly difficult to engage in corporate training programs. With that in mind, I went ahead and put together a little cheat sheet for anyone who needs …
