We are just days away from the rest of your life. What is your plan? What are the excuses for not achieving your dreams? What are the obstacles in your way?

The holiday season often encourages a spirit of reflection and gratitude. Reviewing your year allows you to acknowledge and appreciate the positive aspects of the past year, fostering a sense of gratitude for the experiences, accomplishments, and relationships you've had.

The more time spent in the university setting, the more connections. The more degrees, in relevant subjects, the more options, lower financial risk and the less luck you will need to maintain a steady income.

The most acutely affected group of people in corporate leadership are black women.  We can agree, as confirmed by Forbes (October 21, 2022) "Black Women Leaders Are More Ambitious but Less Supported At Work, McKinsey And Lean In Study Finds," [that their] findings reveal a disturbingly consistent trend among the more than 40,000 employees surveyed.

The majority of Interview Success Formula customers are over the age of 50. (Many of them are in their late 60s and, a few, in their 70s.)

As you know, bullying and difficult behavior can come in many different flavors — some of them obvious, and some more pernicious. Today's example is of the latter. "Tom" (not his real name) is a Daily Success Boost reader, just like you. He replied to one of my emails a few days ago, asking for some advice. Here's the gist of his situation: Tom's supervisor is, when it comes to feedback... inconsistent. One day, he thinks Tom's work is excellent. Next, he says it's terrible. The kicker? Tom is meticulous about maintaining a consistent work ethic and standard of performance. He knows what he is doing, and he knows his work is solid. He performs at the same standard, and behaves in the same way, every day!

If you’ve worked full-time for more than a year or two, you probably have realized, work never really slows down. At least not the way we would like them to. It doesn’t matter if you’re an employee for a large, multinational corporation or if you’re a self-employed entrepreneur, there’s a constant demand to be more efficient, effective, and to maximize your productivity to succeed.

One of the toughest conversations you will have in your career will be about compensation.  It is made most uncomfortable when you have little or no information and only hope that the other person will willingly offer you more money for doing the same work you are currently providing to the organization or will provide your new employer.  It doesn’t have to be this way.

When the unexpected happens and it seems you have been abandoned and forgotten, remember God’s promise to those who trust in Him, “I will never leave you, nor forsake you.” Tough times are all around us. As a matter of fact, we may be affected by them. The tough times could be the lost of a job, a demotion on the job, or a cut in salary. Yet, as a believer, you were not promised exclusion from trials, but assistance and resources during the trials. Therefore, a wise approach to life is to take it, live it one day at a time. Matthew 6:25-34 expresses it well:

A proactive approach to addressing this must be intentional and monitored continuously. Compliance education and continual training on how effectively to deal with emotional abuse in the workplace are critical to that business. Policies, zero tolerance and documentation/discipline, and sometimes termination of those who perpetrate/support this type of behavior.

Webster’s dictionary defines position as a place where someone or something is located or has been put; a particular way in which someone or something is placed or arranged; put or arrange (someone or something) in a particular place or way.
