If you didn’t know, I’m not a lawyer, so please do NOT take this as legal advice. I am not making any claims as to whether you can legally fire people or you can’t fire people for Facebook or Twitter. I was manager for over 15 years who has had to make many judgment calls on people working for me. I know that most people who are dumb enough to post derogatory and inflammatory things to Facebook and Twitter will generally do enough things at work to get themselves fired WITHOUT having to worry about what they say about Twitter and Facebook. I firmly believe that polic...

Therese: What are five ways a person can tackle perfectionism? Michelle: Here they are … 1. Compare yourself to others. I know, this probably sounds surprising when the prevailing wisdom says not to. But we perfectionists need frequent reality checks. Think about whatever has you firing on all cylinders and what you’re hoping to achieve. A report with absolutely no errors? A living room fit to be featured in House Beautiful? A body like the cover model on that f...

Because I knew I would write badly. I couldn’t commit my words to the page because I was sure I would use the wrong ones not to mention incorrect grammar and punctuation. I forgot about how much progress I’ve made in this area until a friend dropped by the other day and, like an excited kid on Christmas morning, I handed him a bound galley (looks like a paperback version of a book, printed for publicity reasons before the book comes out) of my book, “Beyond Blue,” because I still can’t believe I actually wrote my story, something that I’ve always wanted to do since I was a young girl.  My friend works in the book business and wants to write more, too, but is sure he’s bad at it. Positive. “Do you feel like...

Christina wanted an interview about how the brain can help people to get more done on Monday. Christina’s thought was that we tend to feel the slumps on Monday and SELF hope to help readers to “whip their work ethic back into shape after a lazy weekend.”  She was correct and a wonderful chat on that topic followed. Today I read the article in SELF … titled Get More Done on Mondays... on page 101. There are two cool sections with ideas about how to wire your brain in ways that help you think faster on your feet. It seemed very generous to me that Christina would repay me the honor of naming the MITA International Brain Based Center which I direct here in Ro...
