“The Whole Process Has Changed–And I was so Overwhelmed”
March 10, 2009 | 
Author “Carolann and Miriam helped me reframe my job search. It’s more than a search of the job boards. It’s really a search for others who are traveling the same way and to whom I have something to give….Thank you, ladies, for shining bright lights through the murky waters of job seeking for us!”
This testimonial makes me want to smile and cry all at the same time. Miriam Salpeter and I were able to help so many people with our teleseminar series Land Your Dream Job. That makes me happy that we could be of service.

The Most Important Lesson Learned from a Lessons Learned Session
Photo by Nancy
There is nothing quite like working hard on a project, finally getting out into the world, and then having a well-intentioned meeting meant to improve the quality of the next endeavor which devolves into everything but the kitchen sink that went wrong. (It’s even better when we can find another group to blame.)
Focusing on what went wrong is demoralizing and doesn’t add value. There, I said it. Sacrilege, I know.

Does Work Have to Be Drudgery in Order For a Company to be Profitable?

The quick answer is “of course not,” but isn’t that what many leaders in companies believe to be true?
If people didn’t believe that to be true, then why do people look at me like I’m a green, two-headed martian when I tell them that I partner with leaders to create fun and profitable workplaces? Seriously, it is like these two things can’t go together and I’m some sort of nut job for thinking that they do.

What to Do With That Statement From the Social Security Administration
Photo By Wally Gobetz
The temptation is to shred it.
I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t much appreciate my complete social security number printed on anything, and that green envelope that says “TO BE OPENED BY ADDRESSEE ONLY, UNDER PENALTY OF LAW” might as well say “PLEASE…. STEAL THE IDENTITY INSIDE.”
I digress.
