Does Your Resume Have That Extra Zing?
What are your dreams, goals, resolutions and commitments for the months ahead? For many it will be to get a new job. Maybe you have been made redundant or just left college or simply fancy a change of role. To make this goal of getting a new job reality, however, you’ll need to create a resume or brush up your existing one.
Career Management
There are a lot of things in life that you don’t have a lot of control over, like taxes and your parents. But some things you do have control over, like your choice of jobs. People often feel stuck in their current employment path, but it doesn’t have to be like that. By understanding career management and taking stock of what options are at your disposal, you can become empowered and create the life you truly want.

Nice Guys Finish First
Volunteering your services can be an excellent way to form new business relationships and raise your business’s profile while lending a hand to a good cause. However, unless you take care, it can also become all-consuming, with little return (besides creating good karma).
Enjoy your life more!
People are busier than ever between work, family, activities and volunteering to help others. Now add your blackberry, pager, internet, and other tech savvy gadgets. I once worked with a woman that was so busy with her life that she wasn't enjoying her life. She thought everything she had going on was so important, that keeping her cell phone attached to her hip every hour of the day was a necessity. She got caught up in the rat race of everything and needed some help taking a break and getting refocused. Do any of you feel like your days just blend together with a lack of direction or purpose?
Your Best Summer Ever
As Brian Tracy has advocated for years, when you work, work flat-out. Work hard! Work smart! Work with full concentration and full attention.
Build Prosperity and Strong Relationships With L.O.V.E
I had the honour recently of interviewing Evelyn Tian. Evelyn is a Singaporean woman living in Australia. She shared a story that started with volunteering to pack and send envelopes for the 2000 Olympics Committee here in Australia 10 years ago. That simple act of giving lead to an amazing trail of events that lead to her becoming the African Attache for the Olympics and Para-Olympics. This started Evelyn on an incredible journey to Africa for 6 months where she worked with disabled women and children, introducing wheelchair sports and fund raising for home made wheelchairs. She is now working toward helping disabled orphans in Africa.
WORK: Make it a Habit!
The ability to work, really know how to work is a marketable trait today more than ever. But far to many job seekers exude an attitude that the world owes them a living. Show people that you can work, that you know how to work and you are a valuable commodity. Here are a few thoughts on a simple way to leverage your future that's simple and easy if you already have what it takes. So shut up; take responsibility; go to work in finding a job or be more obvious about your work habits while at work. Just a couple of additional hours a day can make or break a career.
How To Find Good People
One of the most common question we get from both our business coaching clients as well as from business owners we meet is, "how do I find good people?" Ever tried volunteering for a community or non-profit group? Whether you're someone looking for good people or you are a good person looking for work, one of the most overlooked recruiting tools is volunteering.
Selfless Contribution
Contributing is the act of GIVING one's energy for the good of another, whether it's a listening ear, sharing our expertise, wisdom, a skill or labor, a large financial donation, a genuine smile, a word of encouragement, coaching a friend, authentic feedback or volunteering your time and energy. Contribution makes the world go round. When we give, there is a typically a reward... sometimes a paycheck or monetary compensation, and other times we know we'll receive appreciation, acknowledgment or love from the recipient. Yet, how often to we truly contribute SELFLESSLY?? -- Where the focus is solely on GIVING with NO CONCERN of receiving ANYTHING in return.
Post Vacation - Return to Reality (Work!)
Life is truely a balancing act when it comes to work and play! We work hard to play hard. And vacation is often the tangible reward for our hard work. Not everyone can leave work at work when on vacation. But Debbie Lessin, CPA and self proclaimed Balance Lady, can and does. Debbie shares her reentry into work mode upon return from her 10 day vacation. Her calm, positive attitude helped her seamlessly ease back into work with no stress, no negating what the vacation was all about. She shares her journey and reminds us all that we not only need to take time away from work to refresh mind, body and spirit but to do so by trying to truly leave work at work!
