Delicate balance between a career and baby
Having a career and a family can be difficult to manage and it is not uncommon for women to leave it too-late. We need to educate women and men that there is a right time to have children if they want the best chance to conceive naturally.

Interviews or interrogations?
Interviews are part of an organization's landscape yet from research it seems that many could be handled much better. It is one thing to be interviewing people, yet another to be interviewed. We need to be on both sides of the table in order to assess their effectiveness.
Keep your eye on the ball
It's very difficult to stay focused when there is so much to do. You have a list, a commitment to doing what is necessary to achieve the organizational goals but there is so much to distract you. You start the morning with good intentions and check the email. You've got your list to follow and then you find that there are things that are very important - it's only 8.00am in the morning and you have already let your daily list slide...

New to the job
This article has been written to assist new-leaders of local government. However, the information is just as useful for anyone who has moved into a management role. Rules and regulations change from state to state and country to country but one thing doesn't change: you have to know how to fit-in with your new group and how to manage constituents or employees.

One small step for you: One giant leap for your Organization
Times are tough in the business world; very tough in some countries. Regular reports indicate that this is the worst Global Financial Crisis we’ve experienced since WW11. It has made leaders stop and rethink the way they have been doing things. It has made them reevaluate their systems and processes in order to ascertain just how successful they really are. Performance Development Programs (PDP’s) are one way that your organization can improve workplace productivity. Implementing new systems and processes is laborious at first; however setting up and using PDP’s is essential if you are serious about increasing business productivity. They don’t have to be complicated, in fact the simpler the better. When done properly they are a valuable resource for not only you but for your employees as well.
You need one, I need one: we all need a break
In the current economic climate the mantra is to work harder and harder. This is a global phenomenon and we are told it regularly. There is no time for a break; you just have to keep pushing yourself. Everyone else is doing it - so of course you must follow suit. It's expected that this behavior will impact on productivity in all the right ways and that the organisation will go from strength-to-strength. Those in leadership are not immune from this pressure. It is not only difficult to continue to work harder and harder, it is impossible because there comes a point when the bone has no more meat on it. While sustainable for awhile, over time issues start to emerge. Pressured, exhausted leaders can experience a loss of confidence, self esteem, lack of clarity and mental and/or physical health issues can appear...
Ageism...Between Truth and Consequences
At its lowest common denominator, being employed is about problem solving. You are hired to solve a problem whether it is answering the telephone or programming a computer. Your ability to consistently, effectively, and efficiently solve that problem can often determine your long-term career or industry success. So, if the problem you were hired to solve evolves, it will probably behoove you to evolve with it.

Is the Baby Ugly?
Well of course all babies are beautiful and there are very few things more precious than a new life in this world. Yet the analogy of a baby to our work is very interesting to consider. It is difficult, if not impossible, to not see extreme beauty in what we helped create. When we work hard on a project or invest a significant amount of time on anything, we become blinded by the emotional investment we have already made. We lose our objectivity and in some cases "fall in love" with the ugly baby we have created.

How Do You Talk To Your Baby?
Did you know that talking to your baby during pregnancy can help build their language and literacy competency? As improbable as it may sound, developing children’s literacy skills actually begins during pregnancy. In fact, mothers have been doing this since the dawn of time.
Retailer Stores Increase Product Liability Insurance Requirements for Manufacturers
This week one of America's largest retailers of baby products and home goods released their new Product Liability Insurance requirements to be imposed on makers of clothing, toys, play items, furniture, car seat, strollers and food items. (Hint the name has lots of B's in it)

Lesson #1: Look To A Need That Is Right Under Your Nose
“Before Baby Einstein, I was an English major in college and after that I was a teacher in high school and left when I had my first baby,” says Aigner-Clark. “At that time, there was nothing that existed that was fun educational videos for babies. That is when I realized that there was a need in the market place and best of all I was my own customer.”

Innovative Home-Based Business - Teaching Babies Sign Language
You’re on the phone with the babysitter, frantic not knowing why your baby is crying. She’s tried everything that she should have but nothing seems to calm your baby. You start to panic thinking maybe he’s sick, but she insists that she checked and your baby just seems to be unhappy. Your heart drops to the ground as you wonder what could be bothering your precious angel. Your secretary comes in and announces an emergency meeting, so without finishing your conquest to cure the baby blues you're forced to hang up with the sitter. With a guilt stricken conscience and a heavy heart, you try to pay attention to the meeting. But you can’t help thinking how much better life would be as a stay-at-home mom.

Baby Boomers - Business should be Booming for you!
If you were born between the years 1946 and 1964 then you are classified as a baby boomer, although you are closer to death than infancy. This is the biggest generation of entrepreneurs at the moment. This generation has guts, drive, motivation, determination and persistence. They are frantically working towards a dream retirement and nothing is going to stop them. At the moment baby boomers make up about 27% of the population, and about 70% of baby boomers own their homes. This just goes to show that this must be one of the hardest working generations of our time.
The Two Key Components to Living with Tenacity
Tenacity is a key component to success. We must have it to reach our goals. It’s the fuel that keeps us moving through the inevitable challenges. But how often do we take the time to stop and think about what tenacity really is? Let’s spend a minute to figure out what tenacity looks like and how we can create it to use to our advantage. When I’m working with clients I often use the analogy of getting your screaming baby strapped into a car seat to illustrate tenacity. Because, if you have kids, you have experienced tenacity! When you are putting your child in their car seat your purpose is to make your baby safe. Your baby hates to feel confined and wants nothing to do with it. You can not reason with a baby or explain your logic so you must just make it happen.

3 critical elements of a research survey. Part 2 – Does the sample size really matter?
There are two hospitals: in the first, 120 babies are born every day, in the other, only 12. On average, the ratio of baby boys to baby girls born every day in each hospital is 50/50.

Hoping For A Meaningful Change
Babies are helpless little critters who need their forebears to take care of every aspect of their lives. Mom and Dad need to feed the baby, clothe the baby, bathe the baby, shelter the baby, teach the baby, and save money so they can educate the baby and help the baby get a good start in life. And regularly, when the baby (who can't do ANY of this for himself) gets stinky, he needs Mom and Dad to change his smelly pants....
