Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 3:28PM Do you love your job? If not, frankly, you have a lot of company. A tremendously large percentage of employees are disengaged, discouraged, demotivated, and generally frustrated with their work. However, work (yes, even corporate jobs!) can be meaningful, enjoyable, and rewarding. And you don't even have to be "living your passion" to feel this way.
Thursday, January 24, 2013 at 9:44AM Nine seconds. That's all the time you have to gain someone's attention. It's your "door opener" timeframe, and it's short. What will you say? In this world of competition and distraction, to gain visibility, notice, interest or attention, being boring is not an option.
Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 10:44AM Here's a quick strategy for moving your career forward: decide specifically what you'd like to see happen. Sound simplistic? It is. But I am continually amazed at the number of people who drift through their careers without a direction or compass, and then wonder why they're not getting where they want to go.
Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 11:24AM If you're not managing your own brand, it is being created by default by those around you.

Wednesday, October 17, 2012 at 2:27PM Living a healthier lifestyle is all the rage these days. Special diets, exercise regimes, cleanses -- many of us have tried one thing or another to detoxify our bodies and increase our health and wellbeing. The same principles can be applied to other areas of our lives, such as our households and even our work environments. The theory is the same: remove or reduce the unhealthy aspects and increase the things that sustain us.
Friday, September 21, 2012 at 12:41PM Whether you're hoping to get noticed by your boss, a recruiter, or the head of that department in which you've always wanted to work, just hoping that a spotlight will appear over your head, bathing you in glowing light at the moment a great opportunity becomes available, well, it's probably not the best tactic. You'll probably end up sitting for a long time in the dark. So what can you do to attract some well-deserved attention your way?
Thursday, September 6, 2012 at 4:26PM Why do so many employees feel so strongly (and negatively) about their work?
Thursday, August 23, 2012 at 2:56PM If your organization wants to boost sales (or fundraising), what skills should be developed in those employees who are on the "front line" with the customers or prospects? Technical skills? Sales techniques? A study by Dr. Rich Handley shows the five social and emotional intelligence competencies that are strongly correlated with meeting and exceeding sales targets.
Thursday, August 9, 2012 at 10:16AM Periodically, we may find ourselves at a crossroads in our career -- a point where there may be several possible paths or directions we can choose.
