When was the last time you really listened to someone? I mean really, truly listened—with no phone in your hand, no earbud in one ear, no inner monologue? Chances are it’s been a while.

See something, say something: how confrontation makes us better

April 4, 2017 | Communication, Entrepreneurship, First Year Experience, Fraternity & Sorority Life, Leadership, Organizational Development, Recruitment, Women's Empowerment

    Years ago, there was a student on our team—I’ll call her Julie—who did some strange things while cleaning our clients’ homes.

We’re asking the wrong question!

August 30, 2016 | Hazing, Recruitment

Over the years, I’ve found members are more likely to ask me questions like “is this hazing” or “can we do this with new members”?
