  • Strategies for a Successful Career Change
    Research has shown that the average adult changes careers at least 3 times during their life (and often more than that). That figure makes sense when you consider how much we grow over time and that a career spans at least 40 years. Over time our values, priorities, and interests change and we often find ourselves looking for something different from our work. The career we found ourselves in during our 20s may differ greatly from where we would like to be in our 50s. Although many of us realize at some point that we would like to change careers, there are many things that hold us back - lack of direction, fear, money, or uncertainty can all contribute. These simple strategies can help get you started on finding the career of your dreams.
  • Are You Stuck in a Rut and Can't Get Out?
    Many of us get to a point in our lives or careers where we feel frustrated, stuck and unable to move. And we just don’t know what to do about it. Some people call it being stuck in a rut. Regardless of what you call it, getting beyond the impasse is necessary to get you back on track and moving forward in your life or career. This is the time to alter your thinking and your actions and make a change – for the better! There are many, many different ways to begin moving forward.
  • Dealing with Difficult Coworkers
    We’ve all had to deal with difficult coworkers at one time or another. Whether it’s the person that screams and shouts, the person with the negative attitude, or the person that knows it all, conflict between coworkers is natural and inevitable. While we can’t change the difficult coworker, we can change how we deal with that person. With commitment, practice, and patience, we can use several different strategies to effectively handle situations involving the difficult coworker.
  • Writing Your Personal Mission Statement
    Companies use mission statements to let people know why they are in existence. Their mission statement could include information about who they are, what they do, and how they do it. Although corporate mission statements vary greatly, each serves as a guide for the company, its employees, and the general public. But how many of us have personal mission statements?
  • Reconciling Mary and Martha: Finding Balance in a World of Busyness
    The biblical story of Mary and Martha tells us how Jesus feels about the busyness of our lives. This story is still relevant and applicable 2,000 years later.
  • 5 Tips for Overscheduled Moms
    Being a mom requires us to play many roles throughout the day. We’re mom, wife, caregiver, employee, housekeeper, chef, and taxi driver. And the list could go on and on. It’s no wonder that we’re so stressed out and tired all the time! Rather than looking forward to the future when our kids will move out and our lives will slow down, we can actively work to combat our overscheduled lives and attempt to find a healthy balance right now.
  • Living with an Attitude of Gratitude
    Creating an attitude of gratitude is one of the easiest steps we can take to improve our lives. The happiness that we create for ourselves by showing our appreciation has far-reaching effects, both for ourselves and for those we come into contact with. The potential for gratitude to spread beyond those people also increases significantly – it can be highly contagious. There are so many different ways that we can express an attitude of gratitude.
  • The Power of "No"
    In today’s society, we all seem to be over-scheduled and running ourselves ragged. We are continually running at an unrelenting, non-stop pace, hoping things will slow down soon. Rather than slowing down, it seems as though there are more and more demands on our time. Many of these requests for our time can be eliminated by simply saying “no”. But how many of us actually make it a regular practice to say “no” and mean it? The truth is that there is great power in saying “no”.
  • Coaching for Success: How to Find a Coach
    In recent years, the coaching industry has grown by leaps and bounds. This is largely due to the fact that professionals and executives can see the value that coaching offers them, both personally and professionally. In a world driven by measurable results, a positive return on investment is an attractive proposition for any businessperson. Now, people outside of the business arena are seeing the value of coaching in helping them achieve their goals and create their desired life.
  • Beginning to Balance: Tips to Start Living a Balanced Life
    As professional women, many of us are struggling with finding the proper balance between our careers and our families. While our bosses demand much of us during the day, we go home to another full-time job where the “bosses” are equally as demanding. The demands of all the roles we play are having a significant and profound effect on many women. These suggestions will help you take the first step in moving toward your ideal life.
  • Getting and Staying Balanced in a Busy World
    From stay at home parents to corporate executives, there is an ongoing struggle with balancing everything that life throws at us. Over recent decades, it has become necessary to find a way to juggle a career (either ours and/or a spouse’s/partner’s), family, and life in general. There are soccer games, dance lessons, parent-teacher conferences, work meetings, deadlines, phone calls, birthdays, laundry, grocery shopping…the list could go on and on. It’s now more important than ever to find a healthy balance in our lives.
