It's my 90th day at the Advanced Group which is really weird for me to say. It's especially strange considering I spent nearly 8 years working for myself and being self-employed as a HR and digital consultant. The transition hasn't been easy, but I am enjoying my new role. I have a team who has my back and immediate opportunities to make an impact. There are a few more ... Read Full Article
Bullies Are Everywhere: Work, Home and Among Friends
I dealt with my first real bully at the age of 10 years old. Angela (not her real name) was horrible to me in Mrs. Frazier's 4th grade class. She did things like hide my pencils, not include me in games during recess and took every opportunity to make me feel miserable. She tripped me on several occasions on the way to the classroom with my entire class laughing at my fall and ... Read Full Article
I’m Tired of Working and Living with Fear
I remember the day very well. It was someone I looked up so much I'd placed them on a pedestal. This person could do no wrong. They had it all: success, wealth, popularity and a family that loved them. Or on the surface that's what it seemed. It was one day they let their guard down. They let me see the real them for just a moment and I realized they were scared of being ... Read Full Article
Being an HR Team of One: You Don't Have to Go it Alone!
You know the song. One is the loneliest number. It sure can feel that way when you’re the only HR person within your office or organization. (HR peeps at small employers – am I right?) It’s rare that those around you, though often well meaning, get a true sense of what your day to day experience can be like. The ups, the downs and everything in between. It may seem crazy, ...

HR’s Number One Responsibility Is Creating an Effective LOA Program
2015 was quite the year, with many companies making some radical (in a totally positive and most awesome way) changes and additions to their leave programs. I get it, we can’t all be Vodafone, Netflix, Twitter, or Adobe when it comes to parental and other leave programs - but that doesn’t mean that you get to throw your hands up and say “whatever.” That’s because the number ...

Use the Force, Luke: Star Wars Meets Myers Briggs
On the heels of the new Star Wars movie, The Force Awakens I thought it would be appropriate to consider what Myers Briggs personality type of MBTI, you are if you were one of your favorite characters in Star Wars. As for the new Star Wars movie, The Force Awakens which came out in theatres December 18, 2015, no spoilers please. The hubby and I have balcony tickets on December ... Read Full Article

The Ultimate Gift Idea List
We’re surrounded by gift guides and wish lists. Every retailer, blogger or website recommends what they think will make your friends, family or colleagues happy. I won’t lie. I love those lists. Some of them include pretty sweet stuff that no doubt people in your life would be psyched to receive. I scour them this time of year and wonder what will vary from site to site. ...
