As I’ve progressed in my career, I’ve realized that so much of growth is “unlearning.” We spend years being sponges, soaking up every piece of advice we receive, only to realize later that not all of it is helpful or even true. Sometimes, unlearning means tossing aside...
When you host a dinner for friends, they almost always bring a dessert or favorite bottle of wine to share. At some point during the evening, conversations turn to the latest life updates or challenges they have faced that day.
In short, everyone brings something different to the table. Have you...
Because “following” and “followers” have different meanings on different social media platforms, figuring out how to make the most of the LinkedIn version of following can be a bit confusing. Luckily, following people on LinkedIn is pretty straightforward—and...
With the summer Olympic games underway, it’s time I finally talk about what I’ve been secretly hoping would quickly fade: LinkedIn games.
Initially appalled by the audacity (strong language, I know, but it’s genuinely how I felt) of LinkedIn incorporating games into their...
It’s the mythical pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. A pig with wings. The unicorn of the working world. You may know it as the all-elusive “work-life” balance. Everyone’s talking about it—how they need it and want it, but the question remains, does it even...
