Over the past two weeks I've been approached by two major business publications with the same question. Is business activity or hiring picking up ? The answer is yes. We've remained very busy over the past two years executing CEO, CMO , CFO and a few other critical title searches. Of course these are must- have positions and  in most cases they were replacement searches. 

However, this year feels different. Clients are now moving forward to fill important voids in their organization. Important, much needed positions, that have simply been on hold.  So if you're in need of a quick fix of positive business news from the trenches ...  the phones are ringing with more gusto.

Find something you love and do it well. That's the secret at all levels of the organization chart. Generally, if focused on perfection the white noise takes care of itself. I've never met a highly successful person that didn't have a passion for their work life. Shifts in technology and markets may change but people doing valuable work will always prevail.

The Arc of Success has well, moved. The basic idea is the same; Take a good idea, an make it real. But the typical work day has changed forever. The rules have also changed, safe is now risky and working 9 to 5 just sounds silly. Technology advances put most of us on the clock 24/7.  So 9 to 5 becomes 5 to 9, and with machine like relentlessness.  Your High School Guidance Counselor was correct, pick something you really like.
