Every few days this year (2025), we plan to sift through our author pages and find the hidden video and audio gems because, let's face it, though they often contain fascinating videos and audio gems, often those reading the pages don't have time to listen at the moment and may not find their way back easily.

  Excerpt from Understanding the Seeker   (Quinelle) -  The Seeker at Work Many people end up in jobs and even careers that are not well matched with their personality profile. Around the turn of this century, some businesses typed themselves—what kinds of characteristics they needed in their employees and their leaders—and set about hiring employees in accordance with those characteristics. This practice is waning as we enter the second decade  of the 21 st century.
