Congratulations! After looking for a new position for what might feel like an eternity, you’ve gone through the interview process and have received an offer for a new job that feels like a great fit. That’s fantastic! Even if you’re thrilled about it, you don’t have to say yes right away. But before you accept, […]
The time has come. You’ve been in your job a while and have achieved a level of skill and proficiency that makes you think it could be time to level up. Congratulations! You’ve even built up the courage to schedule a meeting with your manager to ask for one. That’s fantastic! But before you go in and ask […]
The idea of the eight-hour workday is a bit of a misnomer. We shouldn’t work for eight hours straight because our brains need breaks! Our eyes get tired staring at screens; our legs get tired standing for hours on end; our minds need to stop working so hard, every so often, in order to be […]

We live in stressful times and there are new demands placed on us, from work and home, all the time. It can be hard to find the wherewithal to cope, to make it through each day, to know which priorities are the biggest ones right now. It’s going to be ok. Take a deep breath […]

The big day is here: You have a big interview lined up with a job that sounds perfect for you! You’re nervous, of course, but also really excited. The outfit is picked out and prepared, you’ve practiced your answers and are as prepared as possible. But have you considered your body language? So much of […]
Let’s be honest: It’s tough to keep people focused on work and motivated to do a good job when the weather gets nice. It can also be tough to keep people motivated if they feel like they’re doing the same thing over and over, day in and day out, or if they feel overworked, exhausted […]
