Subject: Be the First to ClapI’ve taken a lot of personality tests in my career, and the results are always similar: Cheerleader, Advocate, Ring Leader, Enthusiast, Passionate, Champion, plus a few colors and letters to go with the psychological theories about why I am the way I am.I used to find it annoying and wondered why I was so loud in so many situations, both acceptable and unacceptable. Now I realize it’s my gift. I’m the first to clap in a large room. I encourage people online. I advise
The job search shortcut nobody talks about. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you’re under 30 and job hunting, you’ve probably heard “network more!” about fifty times. It’s true advice.

I had six years to think about her dementia decline, and sometimes I hoped for a faster ending to the person I once knew as vibrant and strong. Six years was a long time.I spoke this week with a grief counselor. Or I think that was her title. Frankly, when she first called me 30 days after my mom died and told me she was from the hospice agency, it was the fifth
Networking to be a better caregiver. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My worlds collided many years ago, personally and professionally, when I first became a parent. How to juggle both roles was very challenging to me and I think I did a lot of soul searching to figure out how to do well at both roles.
