Photo of character Effie Trinket from The Hunger Games movie If you have ever played a game with a small child, you know it can be frustrating because they seem to change the rules halfway through. My daughter is always making up new cards for Uno [she wanted to create a card that made us switch hands …
This week, I'm starting with 3 of my own! First, I want to share the very first watch party that #HRSocialHour hosted. Anne and I were to go to WorkHuman Live in May 2020 to host an #HRWonderWomen panel. We had 3 awesome ladies lined up to join us. Alas, coronavirus had other plans and …

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away today (9/18). The 2nd woman on the US Supreme Court, Justice Ginsburg became a force as her seniority grew.
