Interviewing Tips & Techniques
Terrible at Hiring? Good.
Last week I had a conversation with one of my clients who was telling me that he is terrible at hiring. I said “Good.” He looked at me like I had grown a third head. He said, “why would you say that?!?” “Because if you have trouble with hiring, it is usually because...

I Have a Killer Tan
I have a killer tan. I am especially proud of it this year, because the world is in collusion for me to not have a tan. I have been to 3 different beaches on the east and west coast and all 3 were in some sort of closure. “You can’t sit here ma’am. You can only walk...
An Act of Bravery During COVID
