2018: The Year of the Woman
When in October 2017 the #MeToo movement grabbed all major headlines, many wondered if 2018 was going to be the ‘Year of the Woman’. With 2018 now closed and behind us, it is finally time to answer the question.

Idea Incubators
I am infamous for comparing ideas to babies. I believe that ideas in their early days are a lot like premature babies; expose them to the world too early and they die a premature death. Do these ideas die because they aren’t good? Of, course not. With proper nurturing, they could bloom into miracles. However, if exposed to the world before they’ve found the feet to stand on, it is likely that the ‘devil’s advocates’ and naysayers nip the idea at its bud. What then should we do with these buds of an idea? Like premature babies, they deserve to go into an incubator.
31 day challenge: Turn up with more than ‘one’
I’m currently reading this absolutely fantastic book called ‘The Ten Faces of Innovation’ by Tom Kelly.

Three trends for 2019
I am no clairvoyant. As much as I’d like to say I know how 2019 will turn out, it might very well chart a course unpredicted. However, there are signs of what is to come and then there is hope that HR pros follow these signs. I sat by the beach over the last week … Continue reading Three trends for 2019
Happy Holidays!
It has been a momentous year. This is my 56th post of 2018 and I have never enjoyed writing here more than I have this year. Over the course of the year, I've written more than I ever have (both in number of posts and length of each post) and revamped the page design. Your … Continue reading Happy Holidays!
19 before 19
Ten days to go before the New Year dawns in. With every passing year, I get a little more surprised by how quickly time has gone by. However, now is not the time to moan, now is the time to kick into action and check some boxes off the to-do list before the year ends. … Continue reading 19 before 19
