In 1500 words or less, each post will give you something you can use TODAY to build yourself, your people and your organization whether your organization is a "for-profit" or a "not-for-profit."
Several years ago I did a series of workshops for a government program called the “Targeted Initiative for Older Workers.” I was grateful for the opportunity but I did not fully appreciate their difficulties until I experienced what they went through myself. This post is dedicated to them and their perseverance.
Many of us will experience the need to transition and redefine what success looks like.
Looking for a new job or career after fifty can be difficult and intimidating. Ageism is real. The fear and anxiety is real.
There is help though. This post offers a starting guide. Take a few minutes if you or someone you know is going through this process. Older workers have skills to offer and can make a difference in any organization.
I have been helped by some tremendous people throughout my career. To be able to pay back those people who took a chance on me, who mentored me, and who saw something in me worth saving and developing, is the primary reason I started doing these posts.
People have questions. New people to your organizations and even existing staff have questions. Some are complex and some are very basic. Often times the people who know the answers aren’t available. Struggling and not knowing causes stress and frustration. Consider creating a simple tool, a “Who Does What” tool.
Recently a friend asked me for some tips on what to look for when buying a mattress. As a former furniture and appliance manager/buyer, it was nice to help them out. Someone else asked about Laundry Teams so this one is for them.
We all try to help with what we have to offer.
Just about three years ago I lost my job. At the time my friends, family and co-workers all said it was the best thing that could have happened to me. They saw the signs that I couldn’t or wouldn’t see. As usual, lol, they were right.
Please take a few moments, and read this post, maybe it will help you or someone you know.
I like to help people and occasionally my skills as an ex-furniture store manager help me to do that. A friend recently asked me to share some advice about mattresses and this is what I wrote for them. I hope you find it useful as well.
ndividually we cannot change the world; however, we can each help to change one person’s world. Real change happens when more of us decide to make a difference.
We need your help.
Few teams in high school, college/university, and even in the work environment currently apply project management skills to everyday assignments and projects.
These skills can make a difference, eliminate frustration, and help transform groups of individuals into high-performance teams. These skills work on large construction projects, software design projects, and on any academic and work projects whether they are large or small.
