Very disappointed in the #OpeningCeremony coverage from NBC. This is such an excellent opportunity to teach Americans about the world, even in a superficial way, and the anchors are just vamping.

Facts! Trivia! Olympic history! Give me *something*

This team is giving nothing.

Calendar Budget Companies tend to do lots of hiring (and the ✂️ thing) in January, February, and March.

Hiring tends to...

🌸 start slowing down April-June,
☀️ grind to a halt July-Sept,
🍁 then ramp up toward the end of the year with temporary slowdowns around Thx and Xmas.

More than half of workers surveyed in a Newsweek poll want employers to cover commuting costs and provide perks like meals.

We talked to @phoebegavin and @emmabgo about the unseen costs of daily commuting.

I rushed back home from #AAJA23 to talk to my group coaching folks about the 5 types of bad bosses and why they're so common.

Here's a snippet.

Are you at #AAJA23 ? I am too!

Don't be shy. Please hi.

I would love to meet you!

She shrugged and took the Zumba class since it was the only one that matched up with her schedule.

There were only old white women, but she knew not to underestimate them. Old biddies can kill it sometimes.

The first song was a dance remix of Gangster's Paradise.

She left.

I made this template for a client who was struggling with networking after her layoff.

It helped her descramble her overwhelmed brain and make clearer, more actionable asks of the people who wanted to support her but didn't know how.

Hope it helps you:
