Welcome to
Meg's Blog

Seriously, what are you trying to say? And more importantly, why do I care?

If you have been reading my blog for any length of time, you know I am all about managing your own career.

If you are looking to advance your career, and you have the opportunity to read one book this year, I strongly suggest you pick up Rise.

Had you asked me five years ago to describe myself, I would have told you I am a follow the rules girl. 

Busy has become the rule these days. 

Sadly, I don’t really have a lot of great insights with this post.  I think it’s a personal attempt to gain perspective.

I bet you think you are the only person who has moments of professional panic.

I’ve been a bit behind on my list lately, but yesterday I finally saw the outstanding Matt Ridley TEDtalk called when ideas have sex.

In talking to leading  customers we have found that there is an unexpected wall that many hit when doing a complete succession process.

In talking to people about social media, I often find people feeling stressed that they have nothing to say.

I have been in management long enough to have seen a common story play out several times, it goes something like this. 

Those who work with me know that I give a LOT of feedback.

This isn’t a post about being mindful or even about how our thoughts control our energy and our energy controls our actions.

As can happen, in reading about women and diversity I manage to find good tips for everyone.

The title of this blog post comes from a joke I heard long ago about picking up a spouse at the airport.

I can say with [no] humility that I’ve had the opportunity to build winning products.

I’m going to state right now you might dislike this post.  The same way you didn’t appreciate being told about Santa Claus.

After a recent FWE&E event, I took a moment to meet Deborah Campbell from Catalyst.org and I’m so glad that I did.

In all my research on the rights and progress of women, I have noticed that a key factor is men. 

Last weeks HR Happy Hour featured Dave Ulrich talking about his new book, the Why of Work.
