Authenticity Rules by Ariadne Moisiades - Nov, 2010 Just the other day, I had another person tell me all they want to do is work at Google. I get this one a lot, so I’ve started asking why. The response usually focuses on one of the following: • “Because it’s fun.” • “They really support you.” • “They give you room to be yourself.” I also usually hear: • “… and they have great perks.” It makes sense – Google offers great health care, child care, flex time, generous compen... |

Stories We Tell Ourselves by Ariadne Moisiades - Sep, 2007 “One cool judgment is worth a thousand hasty counsels. The thing to do is to supply light and not heat.” - Woodrow T.
