Welcome to
Meg's Blog

Thanks to Ken for inspiring me to challenge myself (by more than just his post),  I am ready to renew my commitment to change this year.

Was reading my AARP magazine (that I, of course, only read for the articles)

I have noticed a few great pieces of advice lately on do’s and don’t for job searchers.

Those who have been reading for awhile know I’ve been pondering integrated talent solutions for some time. 

I am sure I’m not alone in finding the whole idea of a performance review for my child much more intense than any I do for work.

Those of you who still think that Social Networking and Social Media is about Millennials need not read any further. 

I’m just back from the HR Technology conference last week.

I know I’m hard on you, I honestly don’t mean to be.
