It's just such a neat time right now, which leads to the summer fun, the trips, the times together, the silly things, the fun things. However, with all that being said, I also have to remind myself that I need to be smart. Hey, it's summer. When my kids go outside to play, they need sunscreen. That's just being smart. Doesn't mean they can't enjoy themselves. It just means they need to be smart.

Things like hydrate. Eat properly. Take ibuprofen before I go to bed if I need to. Limit my overconsumption in whatever form that might be for you. It's summer fun, no doubt, but it's also summer smart. So shifting gears a little bit, I want to talk to you a little bit about how to survive. a beach weekend with your colleagues. Couple of different things.

You wanna go into a beach weekend with your colleagues very well prepared. You need to take a look at the weather, pack appropriately, try and get a layout of, hey, what meals are we eating out? What's the dress code? I mean, these are just basic fundamentals. You don't wanna be the jerk that shows up to the nice dinner that the boss is buying and a pair of flip-flops and a wife beater, right?

At the same time, you're at the beach, things are a little more casual.

you don't want to be showing up in a suit and tie to go you know put your feet in the sand and have a beer and a taco so these are just some basic things at the same time i would also recommend if you happen to work with a group of folks that are in shape they like to work out and maybe one of your favorite team members works out a lot and you work out a lot and the two of you guys say hey while we're down there let's make sure we work out together because that would be really fun a couple things i would recommend

Number one, don't get hammered the night before so that at the end of the workout, you're puking your guts out. It's just a thought. I don't know. If you do, however, just know that this colleague will walk away from your puking. They'll call back, make sure you're okay. And when you're done, they'll have some nice cold water for you. Sure hope this helps and have an awesome summer.

Okay. So Kate, obviously you have had a long and dedicated career as an executive recruiter. Tell me a little bit more about why the recruitment profession?

So out of my curiosity, when you are either working with a client for the first time or candidates for the first time, how do you evaluate what you need to focus on to be helpful, helping them figure out what they really need? So from where you sit, I think that's a very different approach than a lot of recruiters take. A lot of recruiters are order takers. Hey, go find me this.
