For me as a hopeful future HR professional, one of the most important concepts that I learned all term was about adverse impact. I think it’s so interesting that even a well meaning company that works hard to avoid disparate treatment can still be causing adverse impact. I wasn’t aware of how many aspects of…

I always have a tough time talking myself up. I think being able to frequently ask myself and answer the questions what am I good at? What do I value? How did I get here? And Where am I going? Will really help me get better at understanding and articulating my strengths. I think I’m…
