Thoughts on Adult Development in the Workplace by Jen Dary
On managing new (old) coworkers
I recently started a new job as a manager and several of my team members are previous coworkers… as I am new to management, I really don’t know if that is an old way of thinking and I don’t want to make a critical mistake. What do you think?
Maintaining human relationships with Mike Lee
Being nice to people when things are going well? That’s easy. But it takes real effort to keep it up when things are hard.
Let’s Talk Career Path: an ecourse for SNYAM alumni
The first course, Let’s Talk Career Path, focuses on the attendees individual paths – where they started, where they are now and where they are going – but also includes exercises and concepts that can be leveraged with their reports and teams.
Ticket Launch! SNYAM in Northern VA (April 2019)

What a time! This year I recorded a State of the Union to loop you all in on what’s been happening at Plucky and where things are going.
Gardening Your Team
Some people have fully lived their lifecycle in their current environment. Things have run their course and you have pruned, supported and done enough. When your employee has gone to flower and they’re ready to move on, departures are welcome on all ends.
Simple beliefs about management, Plucky-style
Fundamentally I believe managing is like parenting. You never graduate. You will continue to hone these skills for your entire career – delegation, patience, managing UP, building trust, etc.
