How to improve online presentation skills Soft skills such as leading a compelling online presentation are becoming more critical, and there are ways to improve virtual presentation skills, says leadership consultant Rick Goodman.

Making the Connection

Q&A: #HireBlack tackles unconscious bias in hiring The new #HireBlack initiative hopes to help "10,000 Black women get trained, hired, and promoted" by educating companies and HR staff on unconscious bias and humanizing the hiring process, says founder Niani Tolbert. "When you ask is this person a cultural fit, you're basically asking someone if that person reminds them of themselves, which introduces this bias," Tolbert says. Full Story: Forbes (7/27)
