Talk to me about how employers and employees can build positive hiring to retiring relationships. I have been working in HR and development since 1981. My passion is making work and working life better. I believe that the only way to create great experiences of work and employment is to help employers and employees to understand each other better. We need to get the basics right and then build organisations that are great places to work. Employers need to know how to build hiring to retiring relationships with their employees. Employees need to understand how to be good employees.

Carlos Wallace is a bestselling author, motivational speaker, and award-winning film producer. Carlos has written two books that have earned the businessman turned social activist national acclaim. “Life Is Not Complicated, You Are: Turning Your Biggest Disappointments into Your Greatest Blessings” is currently an integral part of the Psychology curriculum at Lone Star College in Houston. His second work, “The Other 99 T.Y.M.E.S: Train Your Mind to Enjoy Serenity,” is the inspiration behind an award-winning television program of the same name. In addition, professors and victim advocates use the books as examples in overcoming adversity to achieve personal and professional success. Carlos is also the Executive Producer of the multi-award documentary Poetic Energy Needed in Society (P.E.N.S.), a compelling retrospective about Houston’s spoken word scene. The critically acclaimed film is the first of its kind, a retrospective that delves into stories of social justice, feminism, and race relations. Each story is seen through the pens of men and women who helped build the poetry scene from the ground up. A decades-long career as a fifth-generation railroader and his experience as a graduate of the National Labor College earned Carlos a reputation as an expert in labor relations, mediation, and contract negotiations. The International Organizer, one of few African Americans to hold the position, helped run several political campaigns, including Democratic Presidential candidate Barack H. Obama’s. A luminary among his peers, Carlos was tapped to be part of Google’s exclusive “Next Gen” think tank. He joins a group of policy leaders at the forefront of technology and racial justice, and who have distinguished themselves in business, public service, content creation, education, and activism.

The proud husband and father lives in Houston and New York. He is married to award-winning journalist, television anchor, and children’s book writer Liz Faublas-Wallace.
