This week on WGT it was all about social media—why we love it, why we hate it, and how to tame it.

What’s your negotiating style? And how can you use it to get more out of work and life? Attorney and expert mediator Erin Gleason Alvarez is in the hot seat for this week’s 5 Questions.

What a week on We Gotta Talk! Here are three big lessons I learned from my interview with the amazing Joanna Lovering, executive presence coach and founder of Copper + Rise.

It’s been a little while since we talked about working here…I’m talking about working a job. An out-of-the-house, insurance-providing, answering-to-an-actual-human-boss kind of job. (And not toddler humans. Adult humans.)
