Are you making the effort to build relationships in person? With so much to do and not enough time, it's easy to just schedule in a call for a moment.. But if you ask me, nothing will ever substitute shaking someone's hand, having a laugh over a coffee and feeling the presence of someone that you just can’t get with a phone call.. The most valuable asset you can give someone is your time.. So when you make the effort to go see someone, those actions say a lot more than words ever will. So if you are overdue for a catchup.. Or you are wanting to get to know someone better..  Make the effort to go see them, as I am sure they will appreciate it! Are you long overdue to strengthen some of those relationships?

Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is essential for overall well-being and long-term success.

We're back for 2024! Here's to an even bigger year with more jobs and more placements for you! When you start a new job it's important to know what is expected of you. Here's a few questions to help you understand when you're new to a team or business: 

T.S. Eliot famously coined April the "cruelest month." Although his April takes a dark turn into a new cycle of sadness and lament, it evokes the imagery of spring's promise of life and the birth of possibility. As April approaches, so does my new journey into the unknown. It signals: ▶ My return from maternity leave to an unprecedented job market filled with mass layoffs, strikes, and the wide adoption of AI tools ▶ My return to a job market where thousands of qualified marketers are vying for the same opportunity ▶ A time of tension and unease ▶ A reminder to focus on my belief in a higher order and that there are no mistakes ▶ Gratitude for the opportunity to take six months off to bond with my third and last child ▶ The grace to focus on my mental and physical health and the gift of time with my family and friends ▶ The space to network with individuals and grow my tribe of like-minded and remarkable creatives ▶ The opportunity to lean into my professional, personal, and spiritual values I look forward to the next opportunity and excited to see where I'll land in April and beyond. If you see a job that might remind you of me, send it my way! Not sure who I am? Here's a little infographic that might help.

This year will mark my 40th year in the workforce. My first job was working in a Circuit City warehouse, pulling orders, from things as small as Radar Detectors to giant television sets (back when TVs were big and heavy!) I was 15 and an athlete, so I saw the whole affair as a workout opportunity, running to pull orders and carrying the heaviest load possible. Pondering my work life from those early days, to college jobs, to entry-level, to leadership, to starting a company or two, a few things, a few things I have found to be indisputable: Competency and expertise in the given work deliverables and the knowledge to be able to implement and manage those tasks are of the highest order. Practicality is an essential attribute. Positive people with an optimistic outlook win, attract winners, and offset the presence of negativity. Creating drama solves nothing. There is already enough real drama in the world. Relax. Not everyone is entrepreneurial and not everyone has initiative. When you find such people do everything you can to keep them on the team and happy. This next one is a hard one…some people, not many in my experience, are just miserable, so do all you can to avoid this constituency in your work and life. They will poison the whole pond. Lastly…Have fun doing what you do and surround yourself with people you enjoy being around. My two cents. Have a great day.
