		<title>Take a Breath</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Increasingly I am working with hard driving executives and professionals who inadvertently disable their teams and colleagues with their intensity and pace. Their quick insight, ability to execute strategy and amazing results insulate them from getting helpful feedback. Generally, these unbelievably capable and hard driving leaders blithely proceed in driving results and change, completely unaware [...]]]></description>

		<title>Workologist?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just read in the NY Times that they will be having a “workologist” column starting in August. Having been in the career management profession for over 30 years, I found this new term fascinating. I will never forget one of the first networking meetings I attended after grad school. It was for the Association [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mind Your Assumptions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one&#8217;s lifetime.” ― Mark Twain, The Innocents Abroad/Roughing It I just returned from a very [...]]]></description>

		<title>Leaning Versus Doing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[LEAN is the new, popular term these days. It is topping “passion,” “happy,” “narrative,” “strategic,” “synergy,” “authentic” and even “transparency”. The current hot use of lean is not an adjective related to how slim and healthy one is. No, it is a verb that intends to direct our attitudes and behaviors in a specific direction.

		<title>Attitude Shift</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The first quarter is very often quite busy for us career counselors. New Year’s resolutions are not restricted to cleaning out a closet or losing those five pounds. Performance reviews, bonus distributions, or six months after college graduation often trigger a desire to explore options. If you are among the people who are reading this [...]]]></description>

		<title>In Touch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been enjoying my email and social media connections lately. Over the years I have developed the habit of reaching out to my colleagues and clients at this time of year just to check in and see how they are doing.

		<title>Your Crisis Style</title>
		<description><![CDATA[November’s destruction and disruption of an unexpectedly devastating storm in the Northeast gave us all a chance to test out our resilience, survival methods and coping skill. Reflecting on your own reactions and observations of others can be instructive. In conversations with clients who shared their experiences and concerns with me, I was struck by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Career Like An Artist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Interesting blog posted on Twitter today by Alexandra Levit on a career management technique I have been encouraging my clients to use for several years now: identifying their next professional move rather than only chasing opportunities or waiting for a promotion. Artists, entrepreneurs and leaders abound in this habit. They observe, absorb and adapt what [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As you begin to take a more focused, strategic and planned and life-long contact development and management approach, you will want to build a Board of Directors in the same way you would if you were a business entity.
