Poverty in the suburbs is real. The physical and mental effects of hunger range from lack of stamina and increased illness – which increases missed work time – to feelings of hopelessness and despair. And there's a profound effect on children, who are more likely to experience impaired cognitive learning and behavioral issues. With a few clicks, you can make a difference.

Do you want to make better hiring decisions? Our complimentary recruiting guide includes more than 100 skill-based questions to fuel deeper discussions during interviews. Here’s a question to uncover someone’s attitudes about learning. Is upskilling on their mind? Which technologies and skills do they prioritize right now? And, when you’re interviewing managers, be sure to follow up with questions that are team-oriented. For example, how do they sponsor and prioritize training for their people? What’s something everyone on their team should learn to get ahead of the curve? But — here’s why this question is actually a secret gem: It’s an unconventional way to ask about weaknesses — without mentioning the word! For most people, it’s less intimidating to talk about what you want to learn — what you need more exposure with — and what you hope to master in time. When you add context like this, interviews become more candid, more conversational, and more comfortable. There’s less cliche, less formula, and more flow and honesty. 🙋🏼♀️🙋🏻♂️Are you a hiring manager? Want to see more interview questions?

Do you ever wish it were easier to hire the right people? If it feels like hiring has become more complex, more automated, and somehow less human—you’re not imagining it. Today, many companies are navigating AI-driven pre-screening tools which often remove the human element altogether. Applicant tracking systems are overwhelmed with AI-generated resumes that don’t represent real candidates. Meanwhile, industry disruption is making it harder to define job roles and skill requirements.   In a market like this, clarity—and human insight—matter more than ever. If you’re preparing to hire or anticipating a staffing need this year, a complimentary consultation with our team is one of the most effective ways to bring clarity to your search and set yourself up for success.

In 'Dare To Lead', Brené Brown defines a leader as 'anyone who takes responsibility for finding the potential in people and processes and has the courage to develop that potential.’ But there are challenges - particularly when the default culture is one of scarcity, fear, and uncertainty. "Daring leadership requires skill-building around traits that are deeply and uniquely human. The irony is that we’re choosing not to invest in developing the hearts and minds of leaders at the exact same time as we’re scrambling to figure out what we have to offer that machines and AI can’t do better and faster. What can we do better? Empathy, connection, and courage, to start." If you want to develop brave leaders who inspire a courageous culture, this is a book to connect with.

Leaders who are influencers understand what's important to people and what motivates them. It's a unifying factor for teams, where everyone feels they're part of the strategy, vision, and goals. Influencers create deep and *authentic* commitment, because their teams feel a sense of ownership for outcomes that they care about. All month, we're showcasing some of our favorite books for personal and professional growth. Whether you're a new manager or a seasoned exec, Blanchard's 'One Minute Manager' is worth a first (or second) look. At only 112 pages, it's a refreshingly concise return to the basics whenever you need guidance (or a sanity check) fast. #Kenblanchard, #ProfessionalDevelopment #BusinessBooks #LeadershipReads #GrowthMindset #PersonalGrowth #BookRecommendations #HumanResources, #Careers, #WorkplaceCulture, #Leadership, #LeadershipDevelopment

In a tech-powered world where literally anything is possible, business leaders are rethinking how they evaluate talent during hiring. Instead of focusing on role-specific requirements, they're zooming in on adaptive skills which lead to growth potential and longevity. One of the quickest ways to make the shift is to ask yourself what your must-haves are when hiring anyone new. Are you looking for people who are naturally motivated and committed to their role? Is it important to find leaders who act mindfully? Do you need experts who are great at managing the complexity of relationships? All of the above? If you want to hire team members who are a great fit today, and in the future, check out our complimentary recruiting guide, “9 Modern skills that drive SUCCESS.” You'll learn how and why skill demand is changing, plus you'll get more than 100 skills-based questions that you can ask during interviews.

Everyone wants to find a job where they can be themself and express themself. But there are times when a positive outcome can be achieved by choosing NOT to react or respond. Emotionally intelligent people are self-regulators. They have a keen awareness of their own emotions, and they use this awareness to actively, mindfully, and strategically choose what they say and what they do in emotionally-charged situations. They know there's a ripple effect and an impact on others when they express opinions and emotions. They handle conflicts constructively, and they resist gossip. Through June, we'll be featuring sage advice and pearls of wisdom from a few of our fave authors. For a sneak peek or a deeper dive, check out "Reading Together" on our blog.
