As a coach, I work with clients all the time who struggle to make tough career decisions.  Here&#8217;s what&#8217;s interesting about this: usually they&#8217;re so focused on trying to find a solution that they don&#8217;t notice that they&#8217;re not sure what the real problem is.
Here&#8217;s an example.  Joseph is struggling because he&#8217;s not [...]]]></description>

Assertiveness training is one of the most important tools anyone can have in life, especially when standing up to difficult and toxic co-workers. Rid yourself of childhood restrictions, fear, hesitation, and social misinformation. Know the difference between being aggressive – which includes bullying, yelling, screaming, intimidation &#8211; versus being assertive – which consists of being [...]]]></description>

If you’ve been unemployed or unhappy in your work for some time, you’ve most likely been concentrating your energy on getting a new job.
It can come as something of a shock, then, when you start that new job and find yourself feeling a little off-balance.
Don’t be alarmed – you’re probably just feeling the effects of [...]]]></description>

I can think of a million ways to &#8220;fix&#8221; other people around me. They&#8217;re just all so messed up, aren&#8217;t they?
Here&#8217;s the brutal truth: That&#8217;s not the way the universe works. You don&#8217;t get to &#8220;fix&#8221; them.
After I get over the disappointment from that statement, now what can I do? How do I keep myself [...]]]></description>

Specialization is the name of the game today. Even something like online marketing, which was once something of a specialization itself, is now broken down into, among other things, e-mail marketing, social media marketing and SEO marketing, which is in turn broken down into white hat and black hat SEO and… you get the drift.

In trying to figure out why reality shows are so popular, I’ve come to the conclusion that they offer us a way to deal with our fears.
I’m not talking about eating bugs, or being confined in a plastic box with snakes and then eating bugs.  I’m talking about even scarier things.

I’m not sure why, but I find most things easier to deal with when I can put a name to them.

Planning is one of those things, like managing our stuff, that we all have to do.  And just as there are people who can keep their closets and sock drawers in order – or so I’m told – there are people who are aces at planning and those who aren’t.
