There’s little doubt that, like many things in politics, different Americans watching Saturday evening’s speeches from President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris had different emotions. But as we turn the corner from an unprecedented moment in our history, communicators have a chance to seize on the tone of the incoming President as they look to pivot their strategies.

Let’s face it. Corporate America has been walking on eggshells for weeks. Executives have been toeing the fine line between the need to communicate to employees and external audiences and the valid concern of stirring up the ire of

Paul Kawkabany – https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-kawkabany-b7b2a811a/

I’ve been standing at this question, which was kind of challenging for me: how can I answer such a question? Is it sufficient for me to say information about myself and / or others? Do I have to mention my past, my successes, and the obstacles I encountered?

In the coaching profession, we often encounter something interesting, and we are curious. These questions are different; our mind sometimes responds to them in the same way. We sometimes find ourselves in front of a dilemma where we are unable to find a solution.  It is better to

Changes in our lives and work are often unexpected and sometimes planned. In either case, success depends on the ability to generate behavioral shifts that will maximize the positive benefits from the change. Easier said than done!

You may have heard about the importance of “why” and suggestions to actively communicate the benefits of change. If people understand the purpose and benefits of a particular change, then we could logically assume that they’d align with it, right?

Yet, look around you. Even aware of the benefits, how many people actually follow a healthy lifestyle? How many of you have noticed

Paul Kawkabany – https://www.instagram.com/psy_aul/

A person is born and imagines portraits of great plans and success. A person dreams of aiming to achieve it all. Is desire and imagination sufficient to reach what is wanted? If it is accompanied by work, diligence, perseverance, planning, overcoming obstacles, standing in pain, facing an abyss, and then discovering how to cross over it.

Self-motivation is charging positive spirits and insisting that you have the strength to fulfill your dreams and succeed in your endeavor.

While recruitment strategies are important for identifying top-notch talent, overlooking the superstars who are already in your organization can be costly.

In companies with a high level of internal recruiting, employees stick around 41 percent longer than employees at companies that do little hiring from within.

The report collates survey responses from more than 7,000 talent professionals in 35 countries, as well as from LinkedIn behavioral data and expert interviews.

Behind the Scenes on a Healthcare Video Shoot with Purpose

When you work with purpose, the meaning behind the effort awakens something inside, and you realize you are a small part of something much bigger than yourself. It’s a humbling experience.

Consciously working with purpose is a life goal of mine, so the opportunity to work on Atlantic Health System’s “Ask Her” breast cancer awareness campaign, especially during this pandemic, resonated deeply.

Elections in the Workplace: Make Flexibility the Party Line

What is the right stance for an employer to take during an election? A generation ago, the answer was easy: none. Politics was something you left in the parking lot, and voting was something you did on the way to work or on the way home.

In the age of engagement, those barriers have fallen. With few exceptions, companies won’t openly take sides in the national contest, but they can’t ignore it, either. As we near a U.S. presidential election that is arguably the most divisive of our lifetime—one where the results may be delayed due to an unprecedented number
