A Case Against Multiple LinkedIn Profiles by Joshua Waldman - Jan, 2010 In the last few days, I’ve been asked 3 times this same question: How can I use social media to promote multiple businesses/interests and also have a profile that is effective for job seeking? Someone said to me recently, “There are 14 million unemployed in America. That’s a lot of entrepreneurs!” There are people who have found their passion, or at least a business interest that they wouldn’t have had the freedom to ... |

Building Trust Means First Setting Clear Expectations by Dee McCrorey - Jan, 2010 "I don't feel that my team members have my back," one of my coaching clients, "Merrall", said leaning forward in her chair during our Skype call. Watching her posture and expression on the video screen, I could see her frustration with the current situation. "What does having your back look like?" I asked. "It means giving me a heads up about situations that could bite me in the backside when I least expect it." Le... |

Skirting Around Risk Taking - Why Giving Voice to the Word Matters by Dee McCrorey - Jan, 2010 I read the Harvard Business Review blog article "How Do Innovators Think?" with its focus on "inquisitiveness". A great attribute to have, indeed, and one that speaks to someone's curious nature. But as the authors discovered, inquisitiveness on its own doesn't always translate into action. And without action, curiosity is just another nine-letter word that never moves anyone to innovate. The six-year study surveying 3,000 ... |

Layoffs Inflict Collateral Damage On Friends and Family by Ramon Greenwood - Jan, 2010 The news media rarely skip a day in reporting the grim economic news and calculating the number of jobs lost in the United States since the recession started in December, 2007. But those reports do not take into full account the collateral damage caused among family, friends and co-workers of those who have lost their jobs. Survivors of the axe have to deal with a variety of emotions: mourning over those who have been ... |

Workplace Communication Trends for 2010 by Suzanne Bates - Jan, 2010 I’ve been scanning the internet for 2010 workplace predictions and it’s got me thinking about how all these trends are going to change the way we communicate. It’s my birthday - and I remember when you needed a carbon copier between two sheets of paper in a typewriter to make two copies of my television scripts. Since I’m going out on a limb with predictions I’ll expect someone to haul these out next year and see whether I w... |

Online Resume Help - What Not to Include? by Joshua Waldman - Jan, 2010 Hi Joshua, I’ve been working at a high-end boutique in SoHo for about a year now while still trying to apply for corporate jobs. Should I put this retail sales (fashion) position in my profile at all? I’ve been told my having a retail job on my resume might jeopardize my career path. I’m a Communications major (1992) and have worked in sales/marketing in the past. I’m working on towards a marketing certificate at NYU’s S... |

Thou Shall Not Slander by Alexandra Levit - Jan, 2010 In the last few months, I have spotted no fewer than three examples of one person in our social networking community slandering another person in our social networking community. I use the word slander, although technically it's more like libel because the articles are written by bloggers who are read by thousands. I am not going to tell you who they are because A) I will not stoop to their level and B) that would send even ... |

Making A Fresh Start by Nan S. Russell - Jan, 2010 "How could that be?" I muttered silently as I reread the message. This was not a person I wanted to encounter as I returned from a holiday vacation filled with family, friends, and fun. And yet, there he was on my calendar. My first meeting of the New Year was scheduled with my nemesis. I wish I could tell you it was a good meeting, but it wasn't. I got exactly the difficult, irritating, frustrating event I expected. Now ye... |
