What Millennials Think of HR
Recently, I had the privilege to lead a leadership session with a group of vibrant, carefree and talented Millennials/Gen Y. This session was organized to further develop future leaders of the organization and to get a snapshot of Millennials/Gen Y view on the impact human resources (HR) has in their organization – precisely what HR actually does and doesn’t do. As a twenty-year HR leader, myself, and author of four generational books, it is vital for me to understand how Mil

Stop Bullying
As a young girl, I had very low self-esteem and was obese. Throughout my school years I was teased, tormented and emotionally tortured about living in the “slums” and for wearing worn clothes. My siblings and I lived in group homes and at times we lived with distant relatives, so we changed schools a lot. I grew up being bullied, but I didn’t know what it was called at that time; but I knew it hurt and it made me afraid to go to school for fear of being ridiculed and made fun

In the 1960s (or so the story goes) President Kennedy was visiting NASA. While on a tour, he saw a man walking down the hallway with a broom and a bucket.

What Is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness. It’s a pretty straightforward word. It suggests that the mind is fully attending to what’s happening, to what you’re doing, to the space you’re moving through. That might seem trivial, except for the maddening fact that we so often veer from the matter at hand. Our mind takes flight, we lose touch with our body, and soon we’re engrossed in obsessive thoughts about something that just happened, or fretting about the future. And that can make us anxious.

7 Key Strategies to Embracing Change
Change is good, because you grow with it. As each change in your life occurs, you grow and you learn more about yourself. Even if a change leads you to somewhere that you didn’t want to be, you will still learn a lesson from the change, and it will help you grow into a more rounded and balanced person. If we never change, we would end up stuck and going nowhere! Let’s face it: embracing change is no fun. Everyone likes staying in his or her comfort zone. After all, they call

You Are Your Brand
Personal branding is the process of developing a "mark" that is created around your name or your career. You use this "mark" to express and communicate your skills, personality and values. We all can be a brand and cultivate our power to stand out and be unique. This uniqueness draws people to our product, our services, or even just our message. Your personal brand should be about who you are and what you have to offer. It used to be that creating a personal brand meant you h
