Somebody to lean on

Lean on me. Yesterday when I wrote this post, What’s on my heart, I had the song, Lean on me, running in my head. Amazingly, on facebook, I saw two references to it yesterday and this morning when I took the time to watch this video that Dawn Bugni shared from another colleague, I heard…

What’s on my heart?

I’m in the business of creating career marketing strategies for job seekers. This is not new to me. I have been doing this for 25+ years. How I do it has changed and the level of complexity of the job search has changed. Our global communication has changed and we know what is happening instantly…
