DEI isn't political Lately, I've been pretty active on social media. My algorithms are back to being screwy and because everyone is frickin ANGRY. For the last year, I've been trying NOT to engage so that I can concentrate my efforts in more "important" spaces. There's nothing worse than...
How NOT to deploy Cold Marketing
I received this cold marketing message: "Hi Stephanie, I'd love to get a meeting on the books. Do you have time this week?" If you are on LinkedIn - you've probably received this from a connection you have who seemed to want to connect genuinely. You've also probably received other forms of this...
Why you should be talking about Mental Health at work
