A passive approach may kill you when swift technological changes hit your career or workplace. Instead of losing out, stay on top of the change to score a career win. Here are lessons from Pokemon Go to move ahead.

But there is more going on than the natural trajectory of how immigrant group
We all know about glass ceilings as the deceiving transparency of moving into the upper ranks of a corporation by members of under-represented groups. We don’t often think of that barrier as a detriment to an enterprise’s long-term success and value. We tend to think of it as a matter of fairness and equity towards those who have struggled to gain access and develop their careers.
However, if one stops to think a bit more deeply, glass ceilings inhibit vision and action that could augment the a
We've heard this truism so regularly we've ended up numb to its essential truth. Also, for some, if not most associations they are meaningless words. In any case, if your organization needs to win the raising and spreading worldwide fight for ability, you'll have to guarantee they mean more than that.

Retirement can seem like an impossible dream for many U.S. Hispanic women, who earn on average a little more than half of what white men are paid, according to an activist here.
"Latinas living in poverty after retirement are a symptom of a larger problem, that of unfair wages and unfair labor practices that keep women of color over-represented in low-income jobs," Cristina Aguilar, executive director of Denver-based advocacy group COLOR, told EFE.
"Less income means that Latinas can't save for

White Americans tend to say that they would rather not own a business and dislike taking risks, in stark contrast to non-white Americans.
Since 2007 the fastest growth in small business ownership has been among ethnic minorities, specifically women from ethnic minorities. The number of businesses owned by white women has increased by just over 10%, but for Hispanic women it has grown 87.5%.

I credit my passion for community building to how I grew up. I’ve been able to take the soft skills that my Ecuadorian family taught me — being welcoming to all, valuing empathy, embracing personal stories — and turn them into my own competitive advantage when it comes to producing content online for the various communities I manage.
