Gender Fluid, LGBT+-Identified Artist Releases Powerful Anthology About Femininity, Identity, Self-Expression

An openly gender fluid and LGBT+-identified artist and writer has released his inspiring anthology of prose and poetry that provides an intimate glimpse into the raw power of femininity and amplifies the much-needed voice of feminine men and boys in the LGBT+ community.

In "A Boy Like Me," author Reki* taps into his firsthand experiences with love, heartbreak and loss, reverberating to the core of what it means to live one's truth and liberating men and boys from the toxic masculinity that continues to silence their personal realities and dictate how they must look, feel and act.

"With this book, I wanted to create something that boys like me could latch onto in times of despondency and despair," Reki* said. "This collection is really about celebrating the power of self-expression, and I hope that it instigates positive change for the feminine boys and men within the LGBT+ community and around the world so that they can experience the acceptance and respect they deserve."

A thought-provoking and empowering examination of issues faced by femme men and boys, "A Boy Like Me" presents an unflinchingly empowering message about learning to love oneself, finding self-worth in personal expression regardless of societal expectations and, ultimately, thriving through life's greatest emotional highs and lows.

Portion-Control Salad Dressing Catches Tailwind of Foodservice Delivery Boom

Foodservice delivery sales grew by 20 percent over the past 5 years and riding on this boom is portion-control salad dressing, a delivery order staple. Gallons of portion-control salad dressing shipped by broadline foodservice distributors to commercial restaurants increased by 17 percent in the year ending June 2018 compared to same period year ago, reports The NPD Group.

Not surprisingly portion-control salad dressing had its highest gains through the quick service channel, which represents over 80 percent of foodservice delivery orders. Gallons of portion-control salad dressing shipped to quick service outlets increased to 26 million gallons in 2017, driven by gains at large QSR chains, according to NPD's Foodservice Future Views, which sizes operator foodservice purchases by product categories. More info here.

Ranch-homestyle and ranch-buttermilk are among the two most popular dressing flavors and both grew by double-digits, as did Vinaigrette-balsamic and Caesar. By label type, operator and manufacturer labels represent the largest share of portion-control salad dressing shipped, with operator label providing the steepest growth of the two. Additionally, some brands offering portion-control salad dressing realized double-digit gains in gallons shipped.

"Portion-control salad dressing is one example of the categories benefiting from the foodservice delivery boom," says Annie Roberts, vice president, SupplyTrack, The NPD Group.

Carl J. Taylor & Co. Predicts Texas Employers Will Adopt a More Direct Approach to Recruit Key Management Level Positions in 2019

As many companies struggle to find individuals for key positions, they are realizing that the time required for recruiting replacement and newly created positions is increasing. In many cases, they are also learning that the recruiting methods they have used in the past are not as effective in the current recruiting environment.

Carl Taylor is president of Carl J. Taylor & Co., a Dallas based executive search firm, which has extensive experience assisting smaller companies to fill higher level management and executive positions. Based on his experience and the recent trends he has seen, Taylor predicts that these organizations will need to adopt a more direct approach to their recruitment efforts to be successful in 2019. Read latest news here.

Taylor's firm is receiving a number of inquiries about his recruiting services from a wide range of large and small employers. "These companies are learning that the mix of skills and experiences they seek for a particular role are in greater demand in a growing economy" said Taylor. In many cases, these employers have delayed replacing or adding a key person because they thought they would be able to fill the position in a short amount of time. In other cases, they cite changes in the recruiting market which they did not anticipate.

Taylor notes that he hears many of the same comments from employers and business owners who contact him, including:

"Our networks and our recruiting methods which have worked in the past are no longer effective."

"Our internal recruiters do a great job with our recurring hires, but they do not have the time and/or expertise for our more senior level or one-of-a-kind positions."

"We are so busy we don't have time to do a thorough search to find the right person."

Many of the organizations which are having recruiting success are adopting a more active, direct contact program in identifying and attracting viable candidates for their key positions. They are employing a strategy which pinpoints the type of candidate they are seeking, and they go after those individuals which they deem to be appropriate for their need. They are not relying on passive approaches (job boards, ads, recruiters with limited databases, etc.) to provide the types of candidates they desire.

Every hire is important to an organization, and leadership roles are especially crucial. No company wants to make a bad hire because the impact of such a misstep can be huge. Whatever the reason for the management need, organizations are learning that finding the right person is not as easy as they thought it would be.

An active, direct approach to identify and attract talented candidates which includes a thorough search of the market will greatly enhance the company's likelihood of successfully adding a long-term addition to its leadership team.

Carl Taylor is a Dallas executive search and recruitment expert with over 25 years of experience in the recruitment industry. Carl J. Taylor & Co., an executive search firm, has successfully completed challenging search assignments for key board of director and management level positions in Texas and around the country.
