Having trouble adulting? Now there’s a class for that
Posted On January 22, 2019
Well, this won’t help combat the millennial stereotype: There apparently is now such a thing as “adulting classes.” According to CBS News, the classes teach life skills like cooking, sewing, budgeting and time management — you know, those things most of us learned from our parents or through our own trial and error. I can see the memes now: “What do these things have in common?” in all-caps above pictures of a cassette tape, a rotary phone and a frying pan. “Millennials don’t know what they are.” Before we laugh too loudly, however, let’s remember that it’s the Baby Boomer… Read More

Process is as important to building boats as winning football championships
Posted On January 15, 2019
To excel in the world of college football, Alabama coach Nick Saban is famous for focusing on what he calls “the process.” He doesn’t worry over the end result as much as he does about completing the steps he knows it will take for his team to get there. That emphasis on process is also important in the manufacturing world. Our guests in the latest episode of “What’s Working with Cam Marston,” Joan and Owen Maxwell of Regulator Marine, tell us that what’s good for winning national championships is also good for building quality boats. “Everything we do is a… Read More

Have you helped your adult children with a rent payment since they moved out on their own? Covered their insurance?

Don’t know where you want to be in five years? If you’re a job-seeker, find an answer
Posted On January 9, 2019
The modern workforce is changing. It only makes sense that modern interviewing methods should change too. Common queries about educational background and job skills are being replaced or augmented with behavioral questions designed to determine whether an applicant is a good fit for the company: Can you tell me about a time you had a conflict with a co-worker and how you resolved it? If you had 1,000 emails in your inbox but you could only answer 300, how would you choose which to answer? And a seemingly simple one that today’s generation of college graduates is having an increasingly… Read More

Today’s iGen teenagers may be better equipped for the world than we think
Posted On January 7, 2019
You’ve seen the students from Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High on TV since the terrible shooting at their school last spring. Regardless of what you think of the stance they’ve taken on gun control, it’s difficult not to admire the initiative these teenagers have shown in organizing the #NeverAgain movement and the way they’ve handled themselves in the face of harsh criticism after placing themselves in the public eye. Is this what we expected from iGen? Weren’t they supposed to be an even more entitled, self-absorbed bunch of social media addicts than we perceive millennials to be? A recent article… Read More

There are still some human qualities and tasks that technology can’t replace
Posted On January 2, 2019
Advances in technology are affecting, and in many cases disrupting, pretty much every industry. We all rely on computers now in some form or other, and digital tools and automation are transforming the way we do business while performing many jobs once held by humans. What about nursing? We always hear that it is one of the few professions where demand is constant. Could robots or artificial intelligence ever replace the tasks performed by a nurse? Lisa Mestas thinks not. Mestas, Chief Nursing Officer at University of South Alabama Health System and our guest in the latest episode of “What’s… Read More
