PIP vs. PDP: What’s the Difference?

Eat Your Career

We can probably all agree: Business abbreviations are the worst! When you don’t know what they mean, they sound like random letters thrown together to make some people feel superior and leave the rest of us feeling totally confused and ignorant.

4 Questions That Will Change Your Life

Success

Nothing stands still. Things either get better or they get worse— you are ?getting better or worse. It’s a universal principle starting with the universe itself: that which doesn’t expand, contracts.

Just coasting along creates backward momentum and we end up using more effort to accomplish less.

Is Endless Scrolling Ruining Your Career?

On The Job

When I first began working from home decades ago, people were envious and said they wanted to do the same. They often asked me for advice, and there were two things I told them: 1. You cannot work with kids underfoot. 2. Be disciplined and set a schedule. Now with the pandemic, I think a lot of people know that I wasn't kidding. The biggest problem is that while I arranged babysitters and day care for my kids when they were still too young for school, now parents are faced with their kids of all

I’ve been working in the professional development arena for a long time now. I started my business in 2009, and it’s funny how much has changed—and how much has stayed the same. One thing that has always been true is this: People really mistrust Human Resources. It’s always surprising (though, at this point, it shouldn’t be) just how much people resist the idea that HR might be able to help in certain workplace situations.

Workplace Insight

In recent years we have grown very fond of borrowing foreign words to describe some of the more difficult to express ideas about wellbeing and the new era of agile, experiential and engaging work.
