The Joy of Being Grateful

With Thanksgiving around the corner, it's a great time to reflect on all the reasons you have to be thankful. Not just the perfectly roasted turkey, deliciously savory stuffing, or marvelously sweet pumpkin pie you whipped up from scratch (thanks, Libby's!), but for all your blessings.

Wherever you are, whatever you're going through, good times or rough times, you've got lots to be grateful for, so take a few minutes to reflect.  Read More

You can’t judge a book by its cover” is a popular saying. But like it or not, many people will judge you by your “cover.” You may have loads of intelligence and ability, but you may never have the chance to show it if your appearance causes a client, coworker, or member of senior management to reject you out of hand.  Read More

October 2010 Link Article: 5 Ways to Build a Stronger Relationship With Your Boss

I think the toughest one here is adapting to your boss’s management style. My boss is very much a micromanager in many aspects of our work and being the exact opposite myself, this is very hard for me to swallow at times. What I have found is that every time I have already done something before she asks me to do it, it builds my credibility and lets her let go a little more.

October 2010 Link Article: Achieving Fulfillment in the Workplace: Myth or Reality?

I think fulfillment in the workplace is an important element in fulfillment in your life in general. We spend a great deal of time and energy at work and it does spill over into your private life whether by accident or design. I am putting greater emphasis on my attitude about work in hopes that a positive attitude there will mean a better attitude with life as a whole.

October 2010 Link Article: Drive, Dedication, and Determination

Great article! I have found that when you establish career goals and continue to work toward them you improve your value and your work reflects your efforts. I set a goal that required about 18 months and several hundred personal dollars to accomplish. My boss and family supported me but I felt that management didn't believe I’d finish. It paid off in big raises — $2.00 an hour the first year. I took on other goals which also resulted in more raises. Don't give up, even when others don’t support you.
