Develop Your Career Resilience
It may be that there's nothing more disruptive than experiencing a career change. Frankly, it really doesn't matter how big the change is - could be as major as a complete exit from a long term workplace, or it could involve subtle shifts of role assignments or responsibilities. Whatever the magnitude, career changes can leave us feeling thrilled, nervous, sad, angry, hurt, depleted, disoriented, confused, or even all of the above.Many indicators point towards the idea that there will only be more and more of this kind of change.

Customer Service to Be Thankful For!
Today is Thanksgiving and within a few hours people will be streaming into my house to enjoy their share of turkey and the trimmings and pumpkin pie.It’s my job to cook this feast, or should I say to re-cook it, because for the last several years I’ve purchased a packaged meal from a local market. They assemble the sides and pre-cook the bird, leaving only the heating-up and serving functions to me.Because I’m not that great in a kitchen, it’s a small challenge for me to get it all together and to present it on time, to guests.But this year was more daunting.Yesterday, I flew back from Brazil after delivering a n
I am going to relate this true story out of a sense of frustration. Hopefully, my experience, and disappointment at seeing a wonderful opportunity torched by sloppiness, will enlighten others to maximize the chance to succeed in their chosen endeavor.

Endeavor to Persevere
When you are in the right path, you must persevere. This is a basic understanding you must have when you are on your journey to success.

Endeavor is a conscientious or concerted effort toward an end; an earnest attempt. Whereas persevere is to persist in

Moments That Matter
Many years ago, I was a first year apprentice assigned the task of pressure washing a set of condensing coils on the roof of a grocery store on Capital Hill in Seattle, an upscale part of town.It was a 90-degree day, in late August. To make matters worse, it was a Friday around 4:30 PM. I was wet, dirty, tired and I was anxious to get home, knowing full well I had at least another hour to finish up. An elderly gentleman in coveralls, and an old and worn straw hat approached me as I came down the ladder. “Watcha’ doin,’ sonny?” he asked curiously. At that moment, it would have been easy to dismiss his inquiry and say something cu
