As I’m on my way to work this morning, I’m thinking about how far we have come in the last 3 years since the murder of George Floyd. It is unfortunate that it took this horrible murder to happen for us to realize that we needed to be more diverse and inclusive in the workplace.

Well after 3 years I am finally getting ready to publish my first book. I am beyond excited as I never thought I would get here but I did and you can too.

Have you ever gone for position that you knew you would be perfect for but didn’t get? We have all been there at some point in our lives. It hurts especially when we feel we deserved the position.

I was with my daughter, Jenna the other day in her Manhattan apartment. She lives alone with her cat, Poppy. Jenna is now 27 and she is at the age where a lot of her friends are getting engaged or soon to be married. When I was 27 many, many years ago, my mom would hound me about when I was going to get married. I don’t do that with Jenna because I know she is living her best life.

Have you ever been told that you don’t have executive presence? Managers love to tell their employees this as a reason to tell you that you are not getting promoted. Many women are told this on a regular basis.

We have learned a lot in the last year around what employees want especially in light of the new working from home arrangements that have been put in place sine the pandemic. In most cases, people are finding it harder to leave their homes and come back to the office.
