Life Insurance
| |
| It is a depressing topic; it is something none of us want to think about because it means we will no longer be around, but life insurance is something we all need to think about not so much for our own sake but for that of our loved ones. What if something were to happen to you tomorrow? Would your family be taken care of, or would they be left with a financial burden on top of their already heavy emotional one?

Great Leaders Turn Adversity into Advantage
| |
| As a student of history, and military history in particular, I have always been impressed with the ability of famous leaders to seemingly bounce back from just about any difficulty or adversity. This is also true in the fields of sports, politics and business. In some ways, great leaders are also great survivors. They often thrive on chaos and adversity. No adversity seems too great to prevent them from finding some advantage. While I certainly don’t believe in deliberately creating difficulty, there are nonetheless some principles that you can apply to turn adversity to your advantage. |

Foundations Of Sand: Why Ecademy Has A Decided Advantage As The Social Network Market Leader (Ecademy Profile)
| |
| “The social network community is on the verge of a monumental shift in which many of the networks that are in existence today will not be around tomorrow.
By evolving beyond their technological origins, the core survivors will avoid the fate of the early lights, who like SixDegrees.com are destined to fade into historic insignifigance in much the same manner that CP/M ceded to the DOS platform in the early days of the personal computer.”
From The White Paper “The Unsociable Business of Social Networks” (By Jon Hansen, Release Date January 2009)

Managing the Workload
| |
| There is a general understanding that when employees are downsized, the remaining survivors inherit their workload. The process increases the number of tasks by a factor of 3 and puts the employee in the unenviable position of being grateful for being overworked. This article provides insights on how employees can approach downsizing their workload into something that is manageable and contributes to remaining employable. |

Outplacement…the Key to Talent Retention?
| |
| 90% of organisations indicating that they have been negatively impacted by the current economic climate (HDA Outplacement Survey 2009); how have these organisations successfully navigated through these difficult times to ensure that those leaving the organisation are sufficiently supported into their new roles; while also ensuring that the ‘survivors’ remain engaged, motivated and ultimately retained?

YOUR Attitude is YOUR Key to Success
| |
| How many of you out there feel like survivors? Have you experienced and survived a divorce, job change or life-threatening illness? I, too, am a survivor! And I used to be so proud of that word that I almost wore it as a "badge of courage" pinned on my chest. I had lived in a tent for 18 months with four children and physically built my own home-and I survived! I built that home for $28,000; and 2 years later it appraised at $98,000. And I lost it in an ugly divorce, walking away with nothing but my greatest assets, my four children; and I survived!
I ended up having to work three jobs. Got up in the morning and repaired bathtubs on construction sites (I'm a plumber's daughter; sold real estate in the afternoon; got home to greet the kids from school, start dinner, and then I was off doing free talks at Rotary and Kiwanis meetings tryin |
