stress photo by lara jameson on pexels com the polished professional listen up i have a story to tell how to create a winning narrative for a job interview to be absolutely certain the most prolific hip hop artists in history display the innate ability to tell vivid stories the art of storytelling as many call it the notorious b i g nas scarface these artists were able to lyrically weave a tapestry of detail throughout tracks that transported the listener directly into the song undoubtedly the experience leaves an indelible mark on the listener s memory effectively describing the most minute facets and capturing the emotion of a situation artful storytelling is a powerful tool that engenders engagement that being stated communicating an engaging story is not only a useful device in songwriting it can also elevate a job interview above a fellow job seeker when i have sought job opportunities my interview style is conversational detailed and personal i want the interviewer fully invested in my answers and my narrative continue reading blog post here striving while black navigating the corporate world as a gentleman of color i ve been in this game for years corporate life is an animal it s rules to the game so i wrote me a manual it s a step by step e booklet for you to get your job on track not your career pushed back yes the corporate world can present quite the challenge for anyone but for the gentleman of color this world can be an entirely different animal and for the uninitiated the wrong moves can render a career stuck in neutral or worst yet gifted a box of your belongings and shown the exit trust there will be landmines that must be expertly navigated if career success is the objective your patience and resolve will be tested there are so many times you can be confused with the other black guy in the office before it starts to wear on your nerves you can only hear black slang from 1985 resurrected in 2018 as if it is brand new so many times

sockets continue reading blog post here daddy diary how fatherhood challenged my masculinity while restoring my manhood regarding the everyday activities of life more specifically fatherhood i am rather matter of fact with my observations and narratives i am always open and honest about fatherhood with respect to its profound impact over the last 5 years my role and responsibilities are painfully simple do what is right and do what is necessary sometimes i am able to experience success and other times unfortunately i fail nevertheless i am frank about my fatherly adventures when queried during one of these conversations a work colleague remarked that i was a different type of man at least different from the men from her generation you understand as a woman of a certain age men from her generation did not carry out the parental duties that i routinely performed or at least that is what i was told i always wanted to be a father actively involved in the growth and development of his children so duties as a devoted dad didn t seem all too odd continue reading blog post here daddy diary beyond dirty diapers 5 things every new parent will loathe that they were never warned about now before i bear the entire brunt of the internet parenting community i wholeheartedly agree that becoming a parent can be a wondrous joy nevertheless i would not be honest if i did not admit some aspects of being a parent that is quite a pain sure you are bound to encounter that one parent that extols the sheer happiness and bliss of having children and don t get me wrong in many situations this is absolutely correct however as new parents will soon realize there are some facets to parenthood that we unconditionally detest dislike hate loathe now for the purpose of this post i am going to exclude the usual suspects changing diapers lack of sleep etc because being a parent or not who would love cleaning up feces 8 times per day on 4 hours of sleep and lord for our first child my wife wanted to use cloth diapers that novelty was jettisoned out the window by the time our second child arrived soaking scrubbing and washing cloth diapers with oxiclean and a toothbrush did not lead to a happy disposition i confess this particular pain point was self inflicted insanity however parents to be i am warning you there are certain situations that you may not be
