Perspective
Taking Training Back to Basics
Recently, I not only changed jobs, but went to a new industry (health care education) that was significantly different from the one I previously worked in (gaming).

Message
Monkey in the middle
I don’t think that there is a more under-appreciated job in the workplace than the middle manager. You are too far down the food chain to have any real authority and yet you are perceived by those you supervise as part of the management team.

Ten Tips for the Mindful Consumer
As we go about our professional and personal lives, we often find ourselves doing things at the last moment (travel plans, shopping, etc.) Panic often sets in when purchasing things at the last moment. As you go about your day, it is important to remember to be a mindful consumer. more...

Avoid Common Training Pitfalls
Despite clear evidence of the huge returns that training provides, many organizations do far too little of it. Even within the training business, many companies are so wrapped up in operational pressures of maintaining today's cash flow that they neglect improvement efforts that build tomorrow's wealth. more...

It’s Your Move, by Marge Watters
I attended the Spring IPM Conference in Toronto and learned of Marge Watters’ book “It’s Your Move”. The topic interested me so much that I went to Chapters the next day to pick up a copy. The cover states “A personal and practical guide to career transition and job search for Canadian Managers, Professionals and Executives”. more...
