I loved this article about the things companies get wrong when writing job descriptions. I only disagree with their first point. A long job description/job ad isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I’ve helped clients write very lengthy but VERY compelling job descriptions that vividly describes the company culture and values, outlines what the prospective candidate can achieve in the role and what they need to bring to the table (innate abilities and strengths) to be successful.

I’ve often said that Covid accelerated other workforce trends that had been building for years. I think what we see with this graph is the result of...

It’s been a while since you’ve heard from me.

I’ve been traveling for a conference and to spend my birthday/4th of July with my sister and best friend.

I love to spend my birthday in the US because it’s the day before the 4th of July – which makes it a 2-day celebration, in the middle of summer – with fireworks!

My head is just buzzing with ideas.

Starting with 2 new masterclasses.
Feel free to grab your spot at one or both – and invite friends and colleagues.

The first is 𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝗰𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
