I rarely (knock on wood) get sick anymore, and that's probably because I've been around so long I've caught every germ there is and am now immune. But I do have more aches and pains, many of them caused by sitting at a computer for 10 hours a day. My wrist hurts. My elbows hurt. My knees crack when I get out of my chair. The trouble is, I know better.

“More important than the quest for certainty is the quest for clarity.”. -Francois Gautier. The Tiny Buddha blog is one of my favorite reads, reminding me on a daily basis about what is and isn't important to me. This post on certainty being an illusion made me think of how often we choose career "certainty" over career clarity. We hold on to what we believe is the sure thing, only to find that it really wasn't and that we sacrificed what was important and meaningful to us for a certainty that c

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

I'm working on two online courses I'm planning for the fall (more on that coming soon) and thinking a lot about the power of questions in career and professional development. We think that development is about finding answers, but I would argue that it's largely about the questions we ask. There are three characteristics of good career questions. They should: Be compelling and provocative.

Work Vows: From Employee Engagement to Work-Marriage. 3 Marriages. I am listening to David Whyte’s The Three Marriages: Reimagining Work, Self and Relationship. I read the book when it first came out yet I find going through a work a few times always brings out new thoughts and perspectives. It is also wonderful to hear David Whyte give voice to his words.

Can you whistle? I'm starting to to think this is a lost art. My parents were wonderful whistlers. I remember hearing my mom whistle as she cleaned the house or walked up and down the grocery store aisles. My dad always whistled while working on the car or cleaning out the garage. I think one of the reasons not many people whistle any more is because they're always listening to something else.
