Ron from The Cube Monkey shared some great tips on how to recession proof your career and yourself. Among the tips that resonated with me:
#3: Add 120% value and promote yourself
#6: Be nice (defined as helping other members of the team and motivating to be around)
Phil’s note: I especially resonate with #6! The old saying […]
Are you hungry? What are you hungry for as a manager in 2008.
This post originated from a December of too much eating, gaining weight, and losing energy. Gluttony seemed to be the order of the day from a huge turkey dinner on Christmas to a 5 course meal on New Year’s eve. It all tasted very […]

Are you comfortable with slack or are you compelled to be doing something…anything?

Dick Bolles is very well known for his annual book: What Color is Your Parachute? This is probably the best known book on job hunting and career change.
I love the image of a parachute gently helping you land a job or a new career yet most job hunters and career changers I know don’t feel like […]
In about 10 years the number of young people getting into the workplace will no longer be enough to replace retirees.
Tim Cork, a career coach, stated in The Globe and Mail, “if you are fifty-something and you can expect to live into your 80s, you should be thinking of this as half-time and not the […]
When was the last time you tried out?
What did you try out for? Did you make the cut?
As the father of 3 sports-playing-teenagers who have experienced a wide range of tryouts I thought I would tryout for Slacker Manager. I feel like I am in a hockey rink about to show my backward skating as […]

Adding some strategy to these hard lessons is a new ChangeThis manifesto by […]
Via 2million I ran into this campaign for a 5 day weekend. Two good days of work and five days off. I think this is a cause I can believe in!
