Let's Get Some Dialogue Going!

Hi everyone. I know I've been slacking off on this blog. I told Ted I would get back in here and start sharing again. Between running my firm and finding time to take classes, write my blogs (yes plural), manage an active network and run a household I'm pretty tired.

But I am now glad to be part of the International Recruiting Society (not a real name). I have landed a few clients after reaching out to my network for advice and tips on recruiting outside of the US.

As I was visiting the CNBC website, I came across an interesting video I wanted to share. They are clips of a summit where the two opposing sides were debating on whether or not the Middle East is effectively grooming and tapping into their human capital. I hope it facilitates some discussion.

Enjoy!
