We have to keep in mind that we in 2022 would find this image offensive. However I personally don't think it was intended as a depiction of racism. It is simply a company using the association of the color of chocolate and skin color to sell a product.

Very interesting

I have no words for the disgust I am feeling right now.
However we must consider the reality that punishments like this still happen in our day and age. -

I think the idea of asking the question "Is this purchase really necessary" will help to be just a little bit more aware of my actions as a consumer.

I feel that in some ways we all need to do our part.
I recently watched an episode of New Amsterdam in which the topic was how we as a society are basically making a garbage dump of our planet.
I will not get into detail about the specifics of the show. I will leave that up to whom ever chooses to watch the episode.
But what I can say is that when it... -

Little things make a difference.
By taking informal stock of my consumption of goods on a daily basis I realized that I could do just a bit better.
Daily work lunches and snacks can go into a reusable container.
Being aware of separating garbage from recyclables and putting proper food waste in compost.
Making a limited trips to the store saves on gas.... -

This is a something simple, but can be done, a simple dinner with someone whom I would not normally have dinner or lunch with. An exchange of ideas, finding out what we have in common, and what makes us different from each other.

The following experience is not mine, but when I heard it I was taken aback.
My college from work whom is black told me about a time that he and his friend were exiting a bar, and words were exchanged due to supposed touching of a vehicle owned by who would later turn out to me a relatively well know Canadian football player of color.
A fight ensued and... -

As a white skinned person, I have often taken my life for granted. I do not know what it is like to be denied access to most of the places I go. I will not go into the details about how I feel somewhat responsible in some small way for most of the hardships endured by those are no different from me, other than skin tone.
I cannot change the past, but I...

It is always difficult when lack of preparation or over preparation is the key reason for unwanted results.
The speaker should have made better use of his time. Gotten a better nights sleep by avoiding the coffee. Started preparing his presentation earlier, rather than waiting until the last minute.
All of these things most of us have been guilty of.... -
In our new world of primary online communication, it is extremely important to be able to pay attention to how we present ourselves to others. We no longer have the luxury of face to face chats, our

programming skills, might be considered an example of a hard skill, and effective use of multiple languages may be considered a soft skill. The world is a global village, and opening up the barriers of language is a very fast growing , correction essential skill that we are all going to need.

Hi I am John from Canada, interesting enough, right now I am writing this message on a laptop, yet I have a cell phone beside me, and a smart tv , we are surrounded by technology, so much so that we don't even realize the impact it has on our day to day lives.

I would say that use of technology if used correctly can help to enhance our social well being, but at the same time it can hinder it considerably. I feel that the majority of people who use technology as a primary tool for communication, have severely severed their ability to effectively communicate in real life situations. If seems they have a great power to...

I have realized that I have more confidence in myself than I thought I had. Recently I obtained a new licence to operate a new material handling machine at my work. I had avoided obtaining it in the past because of a bad experience, however because I am not working in a department that requires this skill, I had no choice but to get it. I am glad I did. It...

Try to think of a CV as your Sunday best. shirt ironed, pants and blazer dry cleaned, and shoes polished. Your CV should be the best version of you on paper. And keep in mind that it must be honest and true. Embellishments on a CV are just as noticeable as lint on a freshly ironed suit.

I have a short term goal of doing my best to learn new skills related to moving up in the company I currently work for.
I aim to do this by:
1. Asking management what skills are needed to move up.
2. Observing the actions of people who are currently in leadership positions.
3. Reading up on my company mandate and developing a keen understanding of the... -
The one thing that I have discovered by my goal aspirations is the fact that they are constantly changing. Sometimes it depends on outside influences, and sometimes it depends of internal influences.

A few times I have been faced with the challenge of driving a new machine at my work. And each time I have failed to pass the test. I have also been reluctant to try the test again. I suppose it is the once bitten twice shy analogy.

I once read or heard that only about 7% of communication is actual spoken words. The other 93% is a combination of body language, tone etc. So our words are important, true, but how we say them are crucial.

I Do.
On the afternoon of June the
8th 2002, my life changed forever.
I said "I do" to the woman who traveled over a thousand miles to become my wife.
There is a saying. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step"
Our journey began with a simple chat request that read "Fancy a chat?"
That night we spoke for over six hours.

Just a quick note on the approaches of Ross and Ali's presentations, both should allow 1 hour prep time for each minute of speech. Both should jot down responses to potential questions. Always remember pacing of speech and watch for stumbling of words, if mistakes or mishaps occur, briefly make the acknowledgement and move on. Most of all make eye contact and...

@WarrenSummers I for sure used it as a way of being tough on myself, simply by saying it was "something I needed to work on". Amazing how our self critic pops out.

I recently went through a serious bought of depression and frustration due to the inexplicable experience of a poltergeist.

At time even I could not believe what I...

I was once watching an interview with James Earl Jones the man famous for doing the voice of Darth Vader and also the voice over advertising CNN.
A man with a deep and commanding presence in his voice.
In the interview he stated that he once suffered from a severe stutter.

I think that even as an ordinary person, an understanding of the brain and neuroscience can be advantageous in communication, observation, and persuasion.

In the television series Star Trek The Next Generation the character of Data encompasses what I think every new leader must go through.

Being an Android Data does not have emotions, but his...

I think that some difficulties in transitioning from being a team member to becoming a team leader can include, making the dividing line between leadership and friendship, keeping the past in the past, and knowing that although you need to be a leader, you do not need to be rude or mean.

Sometimes people forget that, being a leader not only means getting people to follow rules, but we also must keep in mind that being a leader means, encouraging people to become the best version of themselves they can be. And I think the best way to do that is through example. Use respectful language, look and listen to people when speaking with them. Take...

I think that a very simple way to have people who are part of the out group become part of the in group, is to maybe get to know them and find out what their interest might be, and what they would feel comfortable doing, sometimes just being asked to do something, and being given encouragement, might be enough to get the ball rolling. It might not always work,...

I have yet to become a leader within my company, however I can attest to a few individuals whom I have worked with , that have found the transition quite difficult. Some try to overcompensate by being a bit too stern and militant, and others seem to play favorites with those who they were close friends with before being in authority. It is very difficult to...
