I met Karen Bonsignore in our March Inspired Work Program. For three decades, Karen led CNN’s entertainment news group. Not long before her walking in our door, CNN reorganized and laid off one of the largest and most talented group of professionals in media history. Almost all of us who […]


Career Development for Twelve Year Olds

By David Harder on the November, 3, 2015
