I met a job seeker who was desperately sad

She said that life was just terribly bad.

Every time she interviewed or wrote a letter

Someone said it could be done better.

So on to twitter she did go to find a different way

Only to find people who wanted her to pay.

For the help that she needed to plant the seeds

That would help her be a storyteller, and take away the weeds.

And then like a silver lining she came across, recruiters and others who said they would help

Give her advice and some skills and still keep some money under her belt.

They told her to go out, network and use the social mantra

But never forget to help others for this is the new relationship samba.

So go out there with head held high and become a firefly!

A note on Fireflies

When fireflies come into our lives they are there to guide us to ways of living that are more earth-friendly, and soul-friendly.

Fireflies teach us the value of living simply, and relying on our own inner voices for illumination.

Fireflies also come to us with a message of creativity, and remind us that our paths are made lighter by the beauty that we allow into our lives.

BIOGRAPHY

It is an oft-repeated principle that an organization is only as strong as its people, and this holds true whether the organization is a profit-based multinational or a community-focused non-profit agency. But it is not enough to attract and retain top caliber talent. The organization must have the business fundamentals, the culture, the structure and the leadership to ensure that quantifiable, bottom-line results can be delivered now and over the long term.

That is where I come in. I have helped organizations in a wide range of sectors become more competitive, more productive, more creative, and more client-focused, by building teams that are strategic, value-driven, business-savvy and partnership-modelled. I am a passionate believer that a company that lives and breathes its vision, mission and values is not only stronger and more agile on a business level, but is a place where people and teams are naturally inclined to deliver to their maximum potential. My strength as an HR Executive is my ability to recognize and challenge ingrained assumptions and patterns of operation that aren’t productive, and offer practical, cost-effective and value-based solutions.

I have steered hundreds of organizational changes, from small procedural shifts that immediately improve efficiency, to the complete build-out of a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility that not only required all new equipment and workflows, but called for a complete re-engineering of employees’ ways of thinking about their work. As such, I know what it takes to rally employees and stakeholders around an innovative concept or vision, and to translate it into a pragmatic, workable on-the-ground solution that makes good business sense.
