I recently purchased a set of hard backs complete with Green Eggs & Ham for my 1 year-old nephew. As I flipped through the delicate folds of nostalgia book after book, I realized how relevant the gold nuggets of knowledge are, concealed in rows of prose, to the 2.0, nay 3.0 World of Work.

We all live in social communities — not just physical neighborhoods, but online communities where people live and engage. Pick your passion, and there’s a social community for it.

We all live in social communities — not just physical neighborhoods, but online communities where people live and engage. Pick your passion, and there’s a social community for it.

Talent shows — as a former choreographer and dancer, I have fond memories of them. No matter what the venue or purpose, putting on a talent show is at once challenging and rewarding.
