The Morning Blend: Do As I Do!
You probably have heard someone say a common phrase…someone you know who’s older or in a position of authority…someone who is trying to help you, but it doesn’t really sound that way. They say “Do as I say, not as I do!” - You hear “Oh, I have to do something that you won’t do?!”
When you heard this [...]
The Morning Blend: A Time For Thanks – Part 2
I sat down to write a Thanksgiving themed blog and I after I got about 3 paragraphs into the process, it occurred to me that it sounded very familiar…so I went back and pulled up last year’s Thanksgiving thoughts. The two blogs were so similar, that it seemed pointless to completely rewrite it!
The blog from [...]
The Morning Blend: Ultimate G.P.S
This blog has been almost three years in the making – actually almost 50 years in the making, in one way of thinking. It’s time to clearly define a phrase that I have used over and over in my keynotes, workshops, and one on one coaching. Now is the moment to step fully into the [...]
The Morning Blend: Focus, Focus, Focus!

The Morning Blend: 29 Things To Do Before, During, and After a Career Expo!
One of the greatest misconceptions about the job search process that I have encountered in the last couple of years centers on the use (or misuse!) of job fairs or career expos. Many people believe that all they have to do is show up at one of these events and that jobs will magically fly [...]
The Morning Blend: Positive Support is Critical!
Last weekend in Atlanta, I conducted the Atlanta Career Expo Workshop in conjunction with the upcoming Atlanta Career Expo. Dozens of job seekers came out to the event, each trying to find an edge in the job market and searching for some kind of information or tips or training that might help them catapult themselves into their perfect [...]
The Morning Blend: Great Questions!
In working with job seekers, one of the elements that I stress is for them to do “meticulous research” before showing up for an interview. If they are interviewing with a hiring manager, they should know as much as possible about the company’s history, mission/vision statements, personal notes on the hiring manager (if possible), etc.
