Managing people and assessing abilities

I am not that smart. I do know people. I can assess a person and offer feedback to assist in personal and professional growth. I am not degreed in this area but I do believe I possess a natural talent coupled with an innate ability.

The economy is tanking for a lot of reasons. One of which is that we have lost the ability as humans to attain things that are not of monetary value but of intrinsic within all of us.

Lincoln wrote the emancipation proclaimation and it is a deep document. It is bold. It was written during a time of great struggle. It serves a guideline for life.

People get fired everyday. We can call it a lay off or a RIF or any number of things. Rather than manage people, we enable bad behavior and stagnation.

I recently had the opportunity to be employed at an excellent recruitment firm, CPS, within the ad+one division. I was released from employment at the end of February because of the "economy". I would highly recommend them as an employer and a place that you can release your potential if you are motivated, balanced and hungry.

I believe I would have been very succesful had I been more hungry. But I am at a point in my life where desire is less important that being satiated and content with life.

I have two passions at this point in my life. One is recruiting which is in my opinion part of human resources any way you slice it and the other, massage therapy. Unfortunately, I still have some growing to do and hopefully I will be able to eventually find that perfect balance.

I can not say enough positive things about CPS, and ad+one. I wish you much success!

I am sure Cozumel was fabulous!
