Professional Courtesy…It’s Not Rocket Science

Posted on June 18, 2020 by kirkhazlett

Listening…The “Secret Sauce” in Mentoring

Posted on August 5, 2019 by kirkhazlett

I reconnected with a former student recently when Facebook alerted me that it was her birthday. As is my custom, I sent her a short “Happy Birthday” note. A couple of back-and-forth notes, and it dawned on me that I … Continue reading →

Your Career and You: “Happiness is…”

Posted on November 20, 2017 by kirkhazlett

Your Career and You: “What’s ‘Old’ Is New Again”

Posted on October 23, 2017 by kirkhazlett

I’ve been off the grid…other than snarky remarks about certain service providers on Twitter and Facebook…and a few food photos (big surprise!)…for the past several weeks. While I seriously doubt anyone has actually missed me during my absence, I’m happy … Continue reading →
