    Podcast Episode: The Life and Legacy of Sidney Poitier

    Earlier this month, Sidney Poitier, one of the greatest American actors of all time passed away at age 94. I can certainly think of no actor, past or present, whose body of work was more impactful. Sidney Poitier’s many awe-inspiring performances are forever etched in my memory and I loved listening to this podcast episode of The Daily in which Wesley Morris, notable film critic, discussed Poitier’s life and work. “His legacy is so much wider and deeper than the art itself,” Morris said. “This man has managed to affect what we see, how we relate to people, who we…

    Free Ivy League Classes

    Yes, you read that right. Right now you can take a class from Yale or Stanford (and many more!) for FREE online via Coursera, an online educational resource that is coming in VERY handy for those of us looking to add to our skillsets or just pass quarantine time with a course or two on super interesting topics. At the moment, there are actual Ivy League classes you can take for free on Coursera, which seems like a thing that’s too good to be true but isn’t. Take them up on the opportunity!

    Career Goal Setting

    Last week I published part two of my goal setting focus for the month of January! It’s one of my favorites and details exactly my process for setting and actually ACHIEVING goals. There’s so much more to the process than just thinking, “I want to make more money this year” or “I hope I get promoted.” By following these steps and the corresponding worksheets, you can actually make things happen. I’ll be sharing lots more career content in 2020, but this is one to really catch up on before we go further. Goal setting sets the stage for the entire…

    Advice For First-Time Managers

    One thing we sometimes take for granted at our first big promotion: managing people is a learned skill set. As much as we like to think we’re naturally amazing managers, there are so many components of managing others that we really need to dig into and learn in order to be the best managers we can be. This article via Career Contessa delves into managerial advice the author wishes she would have known before she was a manager for the first time—a great read.
