• 10 Ways to Get Back Your Work-Life Balance: "Have lunch with a co-worker you don’t know very well. Get to know more than his or her name. Commit to doing this once a month."
• 8 Ways to Measure Job Search Success: "You want to make the extra effort and do everything possible to make live contact with the hiring manager, not human resources. The hiring manager has the power to hire you, so you want your qualifications and interest to come across."

• When It's A Better Career Move To Turn Down A Big Assignment From Your Boss: "If a stretch assignment isn’t going to push you out of your comfort zone and spark some passion, it’s probably worth passing."
