Office Communication 101

Hi again.

I found a good little article on the Internet this morning and thought it worthy to share with you... all about office communication etiquette.

Thanks to writer, Rachel Zupek, a CareerBuilder.com writer for the following good tips, entitled, "13 Things Not to Share with Your Co-workers." Have a read of the opening few paragraphs, then be sure to click the link to read the actual 13 tips she poses... they're good!

Here's what she says...

"It’s happened to everyone before. The constant flow of words that just keep coming, long after you’ve made your point (if there ever was one) and even longer after people stopped caring. The kind of gibberish that just won’t stop unless someone else starts talking. The type of chatter that inevitably ends with you wishing you’d put a sock in it.

Yes, verbal diarrhea is never a good thing – but it can be worse in some places more than others.

Like the workplace.

There are certain things co-workers need not know about each other – your baby-making plans and stomach issues, for example – but some folks just can’t seem to keep their mouths shut.

Some people talk to hear the sound of their own voice; others share because they don’t really have a life and, by revealing details you’d rather not know, they create the illusion of one, says Linda Lopeke, a career advancement expert and creator of SmartStart Virtual Mentoring Programs. “Then there is the person who believes gossip, even about them, creates instant emotional intimacy. It doesn’t.”

Clear Mind, Bright Future

Welcome.

With the New Year freshly upon us, Richard and I went investigating for a great goalsetting program to inspire us into new levels of life and business movement... and did we ever find a good one!

Thanks to Sheila for her recommendation to check out "Clear Mind, Bright Future" offered by The Learning Strategies Corporation.

Seated and focussed in front of the computer for 2 - 3 hours listening to audio guidance and visualizations, we worked to capture our individual insights onto the 22-page worksheets provided as part of the program.

Wow, what great goals came forward for each of us! We're pleased.

Goalsetting topics include Life Purpose, the Legacy you'd like to leave, your Values, the working through of Fears, your Greatest Pleasures, Family and Personal, Career and Finance, Self Importance, Chief Aims, Success Habits, Positive Attitudes, etc. There's even a wallet-sized card to transfer your major aims onto to carry around and continually confirm over these coming months. That, in part, is how we manifest that which we want to create... affirmation!

Here's the link;
