Far Beyond Driven

NoExcusesHR

'I''ve been reflecting on my style lately. Not my clothes, but rather how I approach my personal and professional lives. I''ve also been thinking a lot about balance. I used to call it work-life balance, but that doesn''t really seem to apply anymore. Life balance is more appropriate for me. Work is demanding and requires a lot of time if its going to be done well.

Changing Joyfully

The Bamboo Project Blog

Change is hard--or so we believe. But what if it isn't? What if we just make it that way because that's what we believe? . Yesterday I was reading this post by Megan Thom who writes about how burnt out she was in her work. Until she had an epiphany that for change to happen she must make it joyful and bring to it her authentic self: In my burnt-out, disappointed and thoughtful state, I resolved that henceforth all activism I engaged in would involve at least one of my favourite activities: grow

Recognition 3.0: Evolve Your Workforce

Achievers

Dear A , My company’s recognition practices are completely outdated – although still used by everyone at the company on a regular basis. I want to adopt more of the new trends and make a step forward with our recognition program but we don’t have time to educate everyone before we implement a new program. Is it important to have a transition? Or can we just say out with the old, in with the new when it comes to new engagement and recognition best practices?

How Your Gaming Habit Could Earn You a Big Payday

45 Things

Recently I've noticed there are a lot fewer screaming kids while I'm running my weekend errands, and I think I've figured out why: All the kids are plugged in. Even kids who can barely walk are holding mommy's cellphone or daddy's iPad. They're playing games, intently drooling over whatever is on the screen. While some may "tsk, tsk" at plugging kids in so early (and so often), this story I did for Gannett/USAToday at least shows that maybe the reason little Billy is fooling with an iPhone at 4-

Do You Want to Do the Hard Work of Knowing Yourself?

The Bamboo Project Blog

This morning I ran across an excellent post by Penelope Trunk on New Ways to Find a New Job. She began with what I think is probably the most important piece of career advice I could ever give you: When you see someone who has a career you want, it’s a safe bet that they spent the majority of their career clearly defining themselves and then differentiating themselves from all the other people who defined themselves the same way.

Why Men Don't Take Women Seriously at Work

45 Things

Are you one of those women who carries a handbag big enough to hold all your essentials? Like lip balm, a change of shoes, a first responder medical kit, a small sewing machine and a hair straightening iron? If so, you’re obviously prepared for any event that may arise while you’re at work, rather it’s frizzy hair or a small dagger wound. But you’re also sending a very strong signal to others in your office that you’re not someone to be taken seriously.

Why All Leaders Are Social Workers

Part 1 of a 2 part series on the fusion of social and work. Are you a social worker? I don’t mean someone who went to university and took a Master’s of Social Work with courses in welfare policy, community practice, or family dynamics. I mean someone who acknowledges, practices, and works socially. A social worker as I define it is someone who knows they don’t work alone, that relationships matter, and that social work will always trump isolated star performance in the long run.
