Talent Masters

Parent/Guardian/Mentor: Hey, son, what's got you looking so down? Son/Mentee: Sigh. I asked out a girl I like at [school/college/work] and she said no... Parent/Guardian/Mentor: Well you know what to do now then, don't you? Son/Mentee: Yeah, yeah... I know. 'Don't give up'... Parent/Guardian/Mentor: No. LEAVE HER ALONE. SHE GAVE YOU AN ANSWER. Son/Mentee: 😲 (Astonished/Shocked). In a world where persistence is often touted as the key to success, let's normalize teaching our boys the importance of respecting boundaries in relationships. This is key because business values (never give up, keep on trying), are part of societal expectations placed on boys/men, and these expectations have extended beyond the areas of just work. We need to break the cycle of relentless pursuit and empower young men to embrace "no" as a valid answer. Let's help them understand it's not to be understood as a 'failure', and not something that they should feel ashamed of either ("Oh, her? Nah, man, she was just *crazy*, wouldn't have wanted to go out with her anyway"). No just means no. And that's okay. #EmpathyMatters #RespectfulRelationships #HealthyBoundaries #ModernMasculinity #EndWorkplaceHarassment #ToxicMasculinity

#Layoffs suck. You know this, I know this, even employers know this! In this session, we discuss the current challenges in the job market, and what companies can do to make unavoidable transitions better. Have a listen, and let us know if you think we're on or off the mark with this take. #Outplacement #Layoff #HRStrategy #Jobs #podcast #TalentMasters https://hubs.li/Q02FvbkN0

Thrilled about just how much press we have had lately, with press releases and articles picked up by USA Today, Digital Journal, Fox, and more... It's really heartening to know that we're bringing something new and innovative, and that that's resonating with the industry. #pressrelease #talentmasters #successstories #thursdaythoughts

Dr. Darla Shaw's keynote speech from #SHRM24, where she shares her expertise on detoxing your workplace culture. 📈 It was SO well-attended, we were beyond thrilled!

So... we are all pretty exhausted, but ultimately, very happy, because #SHRM24 was ---- EPIC. In all seriousness, the team and I have never met and talked to so many delightful HR people. The thing about people in #hr is that they all chose the field because they are people-centric, and so that made this conference hands-down awesome. Darla's talk on detoxing workplace cultures went splendidly, and it's being edited and subtitled right now so that it can be shared to all of our network in the most accessible form possible. Watch this space, y'all! #shrm #shrm2024 #shrmexpo #shrmconference #hrconsulting #hrinnovation #workplaceculture

Today is Juneteenth, a day where we celebrate a pivotal moment when freedom's promise reached those who had been unjustly enslaved for centuries. Sadly, as of the most recent estimates available, there are approximately 40.3 million people worldwide who are currently living in slavery. This includes forced labor, forced marriage, and other forms of exploitation. This quarter, in honor of Juneteenth, Talent Masters’ charity donations will be going to the NAACP as well as The Human Rights Campaign. (We always give 10% of ALL PROFIT direct to charities and community causes). We've got a lot of work to do still to create a just, equitable and fair society, but I want to thank all our lovely team here for supporting us on our journey as Talent Masters tries to lead the way in this fight. Please take a moment today and reflect on the freedom we so easily take for granted; consider those who don't yet have that freedom, and keep some hope for humanity if you can. There are good people in this world. Love always overcomes hate in the end. Happy Juneteenth ❤️🌹 #juneteenth #june19th #endslavery #justiceforall

Darla and Lucy met online in 2003. Darla is in Texas, Lucy is in England. They have been best friends for 21 yrs, owned and run companies together for 6+ years... but only met in person for the first time this year. This is a little film about their first meeting together when Lucy went out to the US on business, and it's so sweet and epic! #LongDistanceFriendship #BusinessPartners #FriendshipAtWork #ConnectingPeople #BestFriends #TalentMasters
