Welcome to the Saturday recap. Enjoy!
Personal Development
This week, the posts are focused on occupational wellbeing. From resumes, to communication, focus, and celebrating small wins, I hope these posts will make your work just a bit better.
More Than a Resume. The first post of the week ladders off a Fast Company article that implies the resume is dead. How do we move beyond the resume to what’s next?
Celebrating Small Wins. We often find ourselves in the middle of large projects with no clear endings. This post stresses the importance of celebrating along the journey.
Taxonomy at Work. Sometimes we talk about taxonomy in the context of a website design, but there are few other conversations where it comes up. This post explores what it could mean to our work.
The Customer of a Meeting. Many organizations have lots of conversations about the customer. However, these are usually external customers. What if we thought about customers of meetings?
Rethinking Email. The final post of the week builds off a statistic that 50% of email communications are not understood appropriately by the recipient. What can we do about this?
One Shade Greener
This week, the sustainability post – Greening the Garage – provides thoughts and ideas to lighten our impact as we clear out the space for the warmer summer months.
If you are interested in starting or continuing a sustainability journey, One Shade Greener at Home, could be the perfect resource. Full of brands and links to put greener products at your fingertips.
