Starting this blog

I’ve decided to do it—come into the 21st century by creating my own blog. More about me at http://www.linkedin.com/in/donnahorowitz.

This started a year ago when I finished my employment at my last job—VP of HR for the Plumbing Products Division at Elkay Manufacturing. I’ve been in job search mode since leaving there, and have decided to keep my eyes open for a job that’s a good fit for me where I can help the company and its employees, as I’ve done in my past jobs. In the meantime, I am looking for short-term consulting gigs where I can do the same. I add the most value (by lowering costs and/or increasing sales) in the areas of Performance, Organization Effectiveness, and Leadership, so I am calling the business POEL Consulting (pronounced like Noel).

I am going to start with advice about getting over losing a job, and then moving forward. After all, I’ve become something of an expert in the last year. I hope to get lots and lots of comments and feedback from anyone who reads this blog. Here goes!
