Sometimes you accept a job and are really excited about it. But as you spend more time in that job, you start to lose some of that enthusiasm. Before long, you feel stuck. It can be difficult to finally admit to yourself that you're not happy with a job you thought was a good fit. You feel a bit guilty because you know about the time and effort the employer has put into hiring and training you.

Maybe you have not said all of these phrases, but you have said one of these, and you need to own up to it. Because all the #metoos of the world are not going to change things without you taking personal responsibility for the ways you put down other women. “I could never stay at home with kids. It’s too boring.” The implication here is that people who stay home with kids require less stimulation than you do.

“Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It’s about impact, influence and inspiration. Impact involves getting results, influence is about spreading the passion you have for your work, and you have to inspire team-mates and customers.” ~Robin S. Sharma~.

On college campuses around the country, job fairs are popping up like groundhogs looking for a place to wait out the winter. Companies load up their banners and swag (A free pen! A free stress reduction ball!) and stake out a table. Then, the college students -- wearing nice clothes that make them squirm -- start the trek from table to table to table, ready to hand out their resumes.

Love isn’t something most of us think about at work. We’re professionals after all. But, with Valentine’s Day fast approaching, I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately. You see, love doesn’t have to be about romance. I actually believe the essence of love is much more profound than that. I also believe we can bring the spirit of love with us everywhere we go, including to the workplace—and when we do, I believe we have the power to change our experience of work.

For my next career, I decided I want to be a professional gamer. My kids will grow up and move out and I’ll get great internet and stock my apartment with all the food gamers want. And I’ll recruit an awesome team because they can live rent-free and play together in one room. I will not have good reaction time , but I’ll be team captain and that way we can get AARP to sponsor us.

I spend a lot of time talking to business experts and leaders and the one thing I know for sure: No one knows for sure what the future will bring. That’s not to say these very smart people don’t have a clue – but the marketplace is changing so fast sometimes that they’re not 100% confident that what worked in the past will continue to work – or if their company will even survive.

Businesses used to rely on financial capital, human capital, and sometimes environmental capital for growth. Now they need to build and deploy three different types of capital -- behavior (using data), cognitive (algorithms), and network (relationships) -- to create and capture value that competitors can't dislodge.

An interesting way to divide things is into commitment and not commitment. So many people say they want to “change the world” but everyone they point to as a world-changer is someone who was extremely committed to their cause. Commitment is a lot of pain (see Seth Godin’s book, The Dip) and it means giving up a lot as well. I am interested in putting people who stay in a long-term marriage in the same category as people who revolutionize their industry because both types of people exhibit big co

February is the month of love, so in honor of St. Valentine, let’s talk about love at work. No, I’m not referring to workplace romances. That’s not my area of expertise. But, if you’re looking for my advice on the topic—DON’T DO IT. I’m actually more interested in talking about love FOR work. Some people have it, some people don’t. For some, it depends on the day.

"Where do you see yourself in five years?" This is a pretty standard interview question, but it's also often asked during performance reviews.

Should governments take action to prevent the spread of abusive content on the internet - or is such interference ultimately a form of censorship?
Speaker: Francoise Tourniaire - Founder of FT Works, Omid Razavi - Chief Advocacy Officer at SupportLogic, and Gregory Walker - Senior Product Manager at SupportLogic
The 'great resignation' and the 'great talent reshuffle' have impacted contact center and customer support staff as much, if not more than, any other part of the workforce. Couple that with a potentially volatile economy and it's clear that organizations must invest in innovative approaches if they want employees who are engaged and informed enough to significantly improve the customer experience and eliminate the high costs associated with agent attrition.
