How to Continue to Move Forward with Purpose
2022- Wow what a year! As an employee, there is no good time to be out of a job. Also, as a business owner, there is no good time to eliminate jobs. However, recently, we have definitely seen some inappropriate extremely wrong and uncaring ways to handle the downsizing of employees.
4 Ways To Build Your Network
There is no bad time to connect with people that you want to build a relationship with, but contacting people only when you want a favor is definitely inappropriate and will send the message that you are a “user.”
Remember that networking is about building and maintaining a relationship and there is never a bad time to do this.
Build Your Routine and Develop Success Habits
Consistency – To act with uniformity and regularity in a way that becomes a pattern, routine or habit.
A consistent success and happiness strategy really starts with understanding yourself…who you are and what you want out of life.
We are all so busy these days, but we need to remember to take time to review our strengths- what we want, what we do well and what we enjoy. We also need to recognize those things that we don’t do well and get clear on if these are things that we need to improve upon, learn from or delegate.
To Live Your Best Life, You Need a Dream
If you could imagine your ideal life in 3-5 years from now, what would it be like?
How would it be different from the way it is now?
Is It Time To Be Changing Lanes?
We all start out on the highway of opportunity. We are enthusiastic, we work hard to demonstrate our skills and experience. We do all we can to get that corner office, the higher-level title and all the benefits and perks that come with it. But when do you decide to review, reflect and take time to reevaluate your priorities?
I Hate My Job, Now What?
I hear so many people saying they are unhappy at work without giving much thought to what they dislike about their current situation or what choices or opportunities they have to make changes.
Yes, there is always the choice to look for a new place to work or just quit but, as we are learning, the Great Resignation may not be all that it is expected to be for those making the change.
Change Can Lead to Opportunities
If you could say one thing about the last few years, what would it be?
Probably something along the lines of… “Whoa! I didn’t see that coming.”
Every twist and turn over the last few years have caused us to make shifts in our plans. And none of those changes have been easy.
Finish Strong
It is hard to believe that we are more than halfway through 2022 already.
Each year I take time in July to review and reflect on where I am with the goals I previously set for the year and set intentions and make corrections for the rest of the year.
How about you? Have you taken time for reflection and adjustments?
What We Can Learn from Juneteenth
Juneteenth. A bitter-sweet holiday that commemorates the end of enslavement and serves as a reminder of a long, hard struggle for civil rights.
Don’t just celebrate this day without some serious discussion.
Our children need to be aware of and continue to pass down this history.
What is not discussed is forgotten!
Clarify Your Intentions
Did you set intentions that have now become stale?
Quarter 2 is here and now is a good time to review and clarify the Goals and Intentions you set for yourself this year.
