When women leave the workplace
| |
| Many women who leave the workplace to raise children become isolated and depressed. As you might have read in my article in Reader's Digest, my friend Jennifer is different. She realized that having a community, preserving her relationships, and making new friends was going to be as important to her happiness at home as it was to her success at work. And she is rocking! |

5 Top Tips for Happy Holidays
| |
| From a distance, the holiday season looks great - full of warmth, laughter, cosy family time, beautiful decorations and delicious food. However, as an adult with ADHD, you know this time of year can be highly stressful. You have to coordinate and incorporate a lot of extra things into your already busy life. Keeping a tidy, clean house (for guests), money management (lots of extra expenses), planning ahead, organizing events and travel arrangements, managing your time and keeping in check perfectionist and procrastination tendencies could be a potential nightmare. But it doesn’t have the be. The key to enjoying the holidays is to find balance. Do enough so that you enjoy and celebrate the holidays, yet not TOO much that you are frazzled, burned out and in debt. |

Always Have a Winning Hand!
| |
| Think about a deck of cards when it comes to networking. Using the analogy of a full deck it is easy to recognize that there are plenty of ways to win. Effective networking is much easier when you play by a recognized set of rules. One of the most important rules of any game is that you have to use a little strategy. You don’t just show up, and expect to win. You need to think about the kind of cards you have to play, and what you really want to accomplish at the event.
As a networking expert, I know the value of playing my cards in sequence. I also know that sometimes I have to play off, in order to stay in the game. Winning often isn’t about the cards I hold in my hand, rather how they fit with the cards others hold. |

Custom Gift Card Programs for Businesses
| |
| Nowadays, some merchant service providers are able to provide your business with the ability to create and sell custom gift cards. These custom gift cards are designed by the business owner and often depict your business logo or some other graphical representation of your business. The cards are used by consumers to make purchases at your establishment and consumers appreciate the flexibility they provide as they do not need to carry cash or credit cards to shop at your business. Custom gift cards are a relatively easy and affordable way to expand your brand awareness and customer loyalty. |
