I met with a friend today and showed him a copy of our book. He’s my network chiropractor, and does a lot of speaking about issues pertaining to heath and healing. I asked him where he thought I might talk to groups of people about what to do about working when you live with an […]
I thought it would be interesting to learn what a recruiter could tell us about the issues of disclosure and interviewing for people with chronic illness. I spoke to a leading recruiting consultant in Southern California who has interviewed thousands of candidates for companies. (She does what is called “retained search.“) I asked her 5 […]

Reading between the stories, I’d say Rosalind inadvertently illustrated […]
Have you heard about The Last Lecture? I had but because it sounded like another one of those “media” hypes — you know the ones where some guy gets his “Andy Warhol 10 seconds (or was it minutes …) of fame” — I ignored it.
But when a client sent me the links […]
My husband and I are fans of the Ebert and Roper TV show. We’ve been watching it since before Roger Ebert’s original partner, Gene Siskel, passed away from a brain tumor (as I recall). Ebert has been off his show for at least a year, and it’s just been announced he’s not coming back - […]
