If It Takes A Village: October 2014
http://ifittakesavillage.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
If It Takes A Village. Saturday, October 4, 2014. Typically when I run a race, I start the race with at least one person I know. However, at a recent half-marathon I ran in, I didn’t know anyone at the race. So, I thought it would be fun to search out a pacer to give me someone to converse with at the beginning of the race. Therefore, if you run an entire race with a pacer, you know you will finish the race within your goal time. People run with pacers for a variety of reasons. Pacers are racers who are ...

If It Takes A Village: July 2014
http://ifittakesavillage.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
If It Takes A Village. Sunday, July 6, 2014. Sometimes all you need is someone to tell you not to use air quotes when describing yourself and your profession. Air Quotes: The quirky little gesture we do with two fingers to frame something we are saying when we don’t really believe the message we are giving. Sometimes a stranger simply saying, “Don’t do that” is all it takes to realize that when you use air quotes to describe your profession, you are essentially minimizing yourself. He took about a nanose...

We are told from an early age to protect what is valuable. 8220;Put your toy in a safe place so you don’t lose it.”. 8220;Find a special spot, so you don’t forget where you placed your wallet.”. 8220;Make sure you lock up your passport and social security card.”.

If It Takes A Village: FOMO
http://ifittakesavillage.blogspot.com/2014/07/fomo.html
If It Takes A Village. Saturday, October 4, 2014. The term FOMO (“Fear of Missing Out”) was coined to describe the recent technological phenomenon where people experience compulsive tendencies to check or stay engaged in social media, smart phones and other tech devices for fear of missing out on potential interactions. The trouble, however, is that FOMO actually creates environments where people miss out on their real. Life because they become distracted or consumed. I call it FOMO in HR. Because of FOM...

If It Takes A Village: Badge of Honor
http://ifittakesavillage.blogspot.com/2014/08/badge-of-honor.html
If It Takes A Village. Monday, August 18, 2014. When does a person’s career pursuit move from being inspired and passionate to residing in the world of workaholism? Furthermore, why do we often applaud workaholism as a badge of honor? I was recently speaking with a friend who is a fresh medical school graduate who has begun the grueling residency process. When I asked what his schedule was like, he told me that the maximum the hospital has them work is 80 hours per week and a minimum of 60 hours per week.

If It Takes A Village: August 2015
http://ifittakesavillage.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
If It Takes A Village. Wednesday, August 12, 2015. This will wipe out a person’s running career faster than you can say “gitty-up girl”! Last October, I trained for a marathon and subsequently injured myself. Hobbling on crutches and not running for seven months caused a degree of frustration and disappointment that I didn’t realize could occur from a simple running hobby. I quickly discovered that the best way to recover from a fracture is to remove what is causing the pressure. As I pondered this advic...
