When I see or hear the word leash, I think of an animal that is being controlled or kept in check like a dog. How often have you seen signs that instruct us to keep our pets leashed? I see them often. Most of us are on the "leash" of technology and life.

The toughest concept I work on with my clients is the "back door" concept. All too often, the assumption is that the only way to get a job today is through the online job boards, which is the front door. The problem is that everyone goes in through that front door.

How often do you find yourself eating lunch at your desk? If you decide to work through lunch you could be hurting your chances for growth opportunity.

Doing isn't giving, although doing is required. At work we have jobs to do. The better we do them, the more likely we'll be valued and rewarded.

Joan Hollaway's curvy sexy walk through the Mad Men offices may have distracted some viewers from her path to success, for herself and the firm. The red head played by Christina Hendricks, lights up the conference room and has climbed from her role as head secretary to office manager to director of operations - and then became partner at Sterling Cooper, the fictitious advertising firm of the AMC hit which just started its final season.

LinkedIn might be great for job seekers, but it has one big flaw. Why LinkedIn is great for your job search No employer likes to think their employees are actively looking for a job outside the company, and that's regardless of whether you're doing it on company time or not.

I love soups made from scratch. The aromas, the explosion of fresh flavors from all the ingredients... yum! You just can't get the same culinary experience from a can of condensed soup or a package of dried bits and powder that has to be reconstituted.

I wanted to share insights C. Michael Reimringer recently shared with a networking group about how to cope and adapt to tough economic times. As he noted to me privately, many of these same actions were taken by our elders during the Great Depression.

LinkedIn is undeniably the executive job-seeker's most important and powerful online personal branding tool. To improve my LinkedIn profile-building skills, I've just completed Reach Personal Branding's new Certified Social Branding Analyst program, which focuses squarely on LinkedIn training for executive branding strategists and executive career coaches.

What role does recognition play in your career path and how do you obtain the recognition you deserve? Many workplaces today forget that in order to help employees feel part of the team ongoing recognition is needed. Often the hardest and best contributors are taken for granted and cease to receive the recognition that keeps them intrinsically motivated.

Have you ever sent an email in anger or frustration? Who hasn't, right? Well, you may want to nip that bad habit in the bud right now. Hopefully, the saga of a young job seeker's outreach to a senior exec will result in lessons learned by both newbies and seasoned pros.
