Me and 85 Broads
I'm told it was more like 75 young women in the room, but the potential and energy I felt there was certainly much much more.
Kraft Buys Into the Mirage of Vendor Rationalization
In yet another example of the "when will they ever learn" category, About.com's Martin Murray's article "Kraft To Rationalize Vendors" reported that the company "announced that it is planning to cut its supplier base in half, affecting more than 30,000 businesses, but possibly saving Kraft more than $300 million a year." Putting aside for a moment that enterprise-wide rationalization strategies rarely deliver the sustainable savings that are expected - it would be interesting to see how the $300 million per year number was actually calculated - history has shown that the "sifting" process usually results in a supply base composed of the least desirable vendors.
10 Commandments of Leadership-Tone Setting
One of the lead questions that we routinely ask in leadership training programs is “who do your people work for?” Routinely the common response is the company name or a division within that company or even the parent organization. Occasionally we will hear a response about working for themselves painting a picture of self-motivated team members. Rarely we will hear the correct answer that they work for you.
Procurement considerations when dealing with a merger? (A PI Q&A)
Network Member Question Aside from the basics of spend analysis and eliminating redundancy, I’m curious to hear of other’s experiences in dealing with merger/acquisitions and how the cultural elements were addressed in terms of promoting the use of preferred vendors and the adoption of expense management policy. What are some best practices to promote optimal adoption of the governing policies and procedures in the absence of spend management technology?

How to Create an Effective Microsite
A microsite is an individual web page or group of web pages which are used to support, enhance, or supplement the primary or parent website. The main difference between a microsite and the parent site is its focus on one main topic or theme compared to the broader scope of the parent site. Often, microsites are used to target new markets or to create focused content for niche audiences (sometimes geographic specific). Offering companies a chance to add value to their brand by informing, entertaining, engaging, and interacting, microsites can also be optimized with keywords for better search engine rankings and click through rates.
Children's fitness tax credit
Federally, a non-refundable tax credit is available to parents who incur costs associated with registering their child in a prescribed program of physical activity. The child whom the parent claims this expense for must be under the age of 16 at the beginning of the year or if eligible for the disability credit, under the age of 18. A parent is allowed to claim up to $500 of expenses per year, per child. For 2009, the tax credit is equal to 15% of the expense claimed. For children eligible for the disability credit, an additional $500 in expenses can be claimed if the total expenses are at least $100. You should receive or ask for a receipt from the organization that provides the prescribed activity.

Don't Quit Planning During Uncertain Times
The wise person will always plan for change and through change. The leader’s role needs to be one of keeping the organization true to the overall mission and vision of the organization while at the same time always being aware of changes on the horizon which could enhance or threaten the organization’s success in the future and, in the end, steering the organization through those changes. Plans today must be much more adaptable and flexible to change and more inclusive of others and their opinions if they will succeed; but plans must be made that serve to move the organization forward.

Prom and Underage Drinking: A Parent's Guide to Keeping Kids Safe
As a parent, providing alcohol to a teen is never a good idea. Youth who reported that a parent or a friend’s parent had provided alcohol at a party within the past year reported drinking more on their last drinking occasion and were twice as likely to have consumed alcohol within the past 30 days and to have engaged in binge drinking.

Freelancing From Home with Small Children
As wonderful as it sounds, working from home to spend more time with your children is more akin to torture at times. Not that you don't love that angel who needs to be held all but thirteen minutes of the day or the toddler who always manages to test his favorite crayon on the wall when you're trying to make a phone call, but there are unique challenges to trying to parent and hold down a career at the same time. It is possible to work from home with small children, but like so many things as a parent, this too shall require flexibility.

DON’T SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT!
When your grown child has a child, he/she can automatically switch his/her own dynamics from child to adult to parent with all that it entails. This unfolds due to changing circumstances that a younger person is faced with on the road to full-fledged adulthood. When your child has a child, he/she is forced to step into another role whereas you stay in the same place, essentially. You become a grandparent but are not saddled with all of the responsibility of having to care for your own child. You continue to see your grown child as your child and perhaps not the parent that they’ve become, with all the angst and worry that comes with it.

The Angst of Transition: From Your Parent's Home to Your Own
When I converse with young college alums, we often discuss the life between their parent’s home and their own. Whether the transition is from their parent’s home or from college to the workplace, our talks about handling the angst in transitioning are engaging. Most of them were told to go to college, major in something they like, and then get the job they would love. Some of them said they fell for it hook, line, and sinker without being prepared for the seeds of discontent. Others said life is what you make it so adjust through the unexpected and learn from it: •One young grad told me that her physician father refused to pay for her education unless she majored in pre-med. She wanted to choose a business major but he said if she majored in pre-med, she would graduate debt free with a new car
