part-time work

This morning I went into my daughters' playroom and watched my three year old arrange blocks in a checkerboard pattern.  I asked her what she was up to and got no response.  Then I asked her if she was focused, and she replied "I can't talk right now, I am focused."  Just like all of us, when she is focused on her task or project, she can accomplish a great deal in a concentrated time.

I went to a great conference yesterday hosted by Flexperience on Flexibility in the work place.   They had some smart, articulate speakers from major corporations who are doing the flexibility thing.  I turned to my friend Catherine, from YourOnRamp, and said they get it, almost.  And she nodded.

What they know:  There is value to flexibility to an employer

YourOnRamp is pleased to announce that Sylvia Ann Hewlett will be our keynote speaker at our Fall Event , November 5, 2007 in the Bay Area.  Read below for the New York Time's article on her fabulous work with the Hidden Brain Drain Task Force.
