I've actually never been laid off. And I've been at a lot of companies that went through layoffs. Was it luck? Mostly. But there are some things I've learned along the way... And I've seen firsthand what it's like for people to lose their jobs. I've also had to deal...
A client of mine asked me for some book recommendations. They're at a transition point so the subject matter isn't as specific as I'd normally do. But since I was coming up with a good list of reads I thought of course I should share it with you. I do a good...
I often have people tell me that they know someone (or someones) that could use a coach. But they're not sure if it's ok to share a coach referral because basically, they feel like they're telling them that there is something wrong with them. The first part of...

I started working with one of my clients who was a Sr. Director. They were running the show and really felt like what they were doing warranted a VP title and the salary that goes with it. Part of the problem was that the group had gone through a serious restructuring...
I had decided I was done with my job (years ago). The company was bought out by another company. Things hadn't been going well. And the direction of the company was changing. For me, it didn't seem like a good thing. So I got up the courage to tell my boss. My...
