What is the Root Cause of Happiness?November 21st, 2014 by Barb Phillips
What do you think is the root cause of happiness?
Good looks?
Well, many people think that any or all of the above are root causes of happiness, but research has indicated that those things really don't provide a long-lasting feeling of contentment. In fact, one of the most important things you can possess to ensure a lifetime of happiness is a character trait that anyone can develop: gratefulness.
Since Thanksgiving is just around the corner, it's a good time to think about what we are thankful for and enjoy the bonus of feeling happier.
What, exactly, does an attitude of gratitude do for our well-being that contributes to life-long happiness? So much!
Here are some of the benefits of practicing gratefulness:
- reduced risk of heart disease and cancer;
- a stronger immune system;
- increased productivity;
- improved decision making;
- increased achievements;
- better interpersonal relationships;
- a better self-image;
- more respect from others;
- less stress;
- reduced feelings of jealousy;
- happier memories (research has indicated gratefulness helps us remember the good stuff in life and minimize the negative);
- a feeling of well-being;
- stronger resilience;
- more energy;
- better sleep; and
- a longer life.
Want some ideas on how to cultivate an attitude of gratefulness? The University of California, Berkeley published 10 great tips by Robert Emmons including using visual reminders; watching your language; and thinking outside the box by seeking new things to be grateful for.
Here's another tip: grateful people mindfully use social media in a positive way. So post an inspirational quote or this article on your social media, and you will not only grow in your practice of gratefulness but encourage others to take this meaningful path as well.
Career Development: Five Quick Ways to Become a Better SpeakerOctober 28th, 2014 by Barb Phillips
Surveys about fear have revealed that we fear public speaking more than death. That's why there is a joke that goes something like, "If you are at a funeral, it's better to be in the coffin than the one delivering the eulogy."
However, there are many things we can learn about public speaking from the masters. Even better, there are many very simple techniques that will captivate the audience every single time.
Take, for example, the pause:
Pause for two or three seconds and the audience assumes you lost your place. Pause for five seconds and the audience begins to think the pause is intentional… and starts wondering why.
Pause for ten seconds and even the people who were busy tweeting can't resist glancing up.
These days, if you can get someone to look up from his or her phone during your presentation, you've pretty much won at public speaking.

Career Development: How to Handle an Unsupportive BossSeptember 16th, 2014 by Megan Craig
In this column, we share a lot of ideas and tips for building and moving forward in your career. But sometimes management can present obstacles to your success, whether it's a personality difference, micromanagement, stifling a promotion, or undermining your hard work. Don't simply live with the negative situation, or quit only to find another imperfect job in the future. Try the following tips to improve your relationship with your boss and empower your career.
Acknowledge Your Role
Rather than blame your boss for the obstacle you're facing, put aside any emotional bias you may have (SHRM). Don't gossip about your boss, and try to understand the situation more clearly (Tech Republic). Honestly evaluate your own role in the situation. Do you have unrealistic expectations of your boss? Do your professional skills measure up to the requirements of that promotion? Have you failed to earn the trust of your micromanaging boss? Have you really achieved all the goals of your current role? Do your work achievements reflect well on your boss and team? Think of this as your "HR root cause analysis." Truly evaluate all the facts about your performance and relationships at work, then devise practical methods for improving these.
Communicate with Your Boss
In our "HR root cause analysis," one of the corrective actions will almost always include talking with your boss. Difficult though it may be, coming to your boss in a professional manner is the right thing to do and will likely make a positive impression on him or her. When you do, come with a positive outlook with ideas for improvement. Don't simply come with complaints and no attempts at a solution, which may only make your situation worse.
The best approach is to arrange a performance review meeting with your boss. Make it clear during this meeting that you want to grow professionally, and you'd like to find out what it will take to do so. Ask him or her how you're meeting and not meeting the goals of your position, and brainstorm action steps to reach those goals. As you receive the criticism, take it with grace and not defensiveness.
If there's something you need from your boss that you're not receiving, simply ask for it in a logical manner (Chron) (SHRM). Make it an easy request to grant. For example, instead of simply complaining "You micromanage me too much," ask if it would help your boss if you provided regular status updates to ease his or her mind.
Make it clear at this meeting that you are committed to your boss' success as well (Chron).
Develop Your Professional Skills
After you've met with your boss, take this feedback to heart. If you've received concrete ways in which you can improve, make these your goals and stick to them. Exceed your boss' expectations and you'll likely gain his or her trust (Chron).
If your conversation does not go well, there are still options. Take your problem to HR, even if all you need is a second opinion on some aspects of the problem. It always helps to bring in a third party ro evaluate the situation.
If you need additional support, start by building your professional network by pursuing a mentoring and/or networking opportunity (Tech Republic). A mentor can provide a second opinion and unbiased advice on your career. This relationship just may provide the support you need to move forward in your career. Continue to build your network through events, LinkedIn, and pursuing one-on-one meetings with colleagues (Diversity MBA).
Prepare for a future job change and safeguard your interests by building a file that includes your updated resume, certifications, accomplishments, successful projects, and any awards you've earned (Diversity MBA). As you move forward within the company, or if you decide to seek advancement elsewhere, you'll be ready to put your best foot forward.
Career Development: Is Getting "Caught Up" a Worthy Goal?September 9th, 2014 by Barb Phillips
A recent article in the The Washington Post listed some tips for getting caught up and I really liked it because the author pointed out:
"Rather than worrying about whether we have caught up, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy, we can try some of the following activities to restore ourselves and feel better about what we are accomplishing."
Are we ever really caught up? Maybe it's time to change the mindset to noticing what we are accomplishing instead of focusing on what we haven't finished yet. It may be more motivating and more productive to think this way.
Feel better about what you are accomplishing and read 10 tips written by Joyce E. A. Russell here:
Career Development: 5 Ways to Use LinkedIn & Maximize Your Job SearchSeptember 2nd, 2014 by Megan Craig
Rebekah Campbell, CEO of tech start-up Posse, does all her recruiting through LinkedIn, she says in her recent New York Times article. Why? LinkedIn's new Recruiter service helps her search for the perfect candidates based on any and all aspects of an individual's profile. This means your next prospective employer is looking for you based on elements like location, previous and current job titles, previous employers, university attended, current job length, and so much more.
With the knowledge that you could receive your next job offer through Linkedin, here are a few tips to make your presence even more dynamic on the platform.
- Write an extensive profile, using strong searchable terms. Ask yourself what you would type in to find someone like you and add those keywords, suggests Ted Prodromou, author of a book on using LinkedIn (NY Times).
- Add a professional-looking photo. This way, recruiters can pin a face to your name and you'll be 11 times more likely to have your profile seen (Forbes).
- Update your headline, otherwise the default will be your job title. If you have a strong headline full of searchable keywords, your next employer will have an easier time finding you and you'll stand out from the crowd (Forbes).
- Join interest groups (NY Times) – Search for terms related to your industry, and you can not only connect with like-minded individuals but with potential employers. Don't know where to start? Join our TapRooT® Group – it's chock full of fantastic root cause analysis professionals from around the globe. Join our network here.
- Join discussions (NY Times)- When you contribute to online discussions in a meaningful way, you build up others' view of your expertise. In addition to learning and sharing your knowledge, you may meet an employer who's impressed by your knowledge and wants to work together. Join our TapRooT® discussion group for conversations regarding current events and other investigation topics. Join a discussion here.
Don't let your LinkedIn profile become a static online resume. Build it up with these foundational aspects, and make sure you check your account weekly to answer messages, engage in group discussion, and reply to any job opportunities that come your way!
To See the Best in Others Will Help Them Become the Best by George J. BurkAugust 26th, 2014 by Barb Phillips
"Treat people as if they were what they ought to be, and you help them to become what they are capable of being." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Imagine for a moment that we actually treated one another with such an unbiased respect and unconditional belief that we were able to elevate each other to be the best we can be. It's not just a military slogan. It can and does happen. I've experienced this kind of respect, belief and positive reinforcement in my own life.
I've heard and witnessed many incredible stories of how people, given little chance to live or to walk again, overcame their physical and emotional injuries to lead positive, productive lives. They, in turn chose to "Pass the salt and make a difference in other people's lives." One particular story I read about recently, where a man who was barely able to read was given an assignment that required him to not only read, but to speak in public and exhibit leadership skills. (I know from personal experience that man's greatest fear is NOT standing in front of a crowd and speaking. Man's greatest fear IS walking (or crawling) through a wall of fire.) The man's personal transformation was called miraculous. He was told that GOD inspired his assignment, and he took it quite seriously. He became an eloquent speaker and leader and that helped him to prosper in other areas of his life and provided a better life for his family. How can this be done you ask? Glad you did and here are some tips:
Release the prejudice. The first step is we must relieve ourselves of the limitations we place on others. Eradicate (I like the word) negativity about ours and others limitations from our mind and memory; erase the mental models and phrases like, "She's only" or "He's always" or "They never," or "He can't." We need to stretch our mind and our imaginations and visualize, "see", them doing something great or being something great. Change our thought patterns from the negative to think "Just because he (or she) never did that before doesn't mean that he (or she) can't. It just means that he (or she) has never tried before because no one really believed he (or she) could."
"None can be more negative on its impact than the limitation on human resource capacity." Said Musa
Forget the past. Car windshields are larger than the rear view mirror because it's far more important to see the 'highway' ahead than the 'road' travelled. Look where you're headed, not where you've been. Whatever mistakes you and others have made and wherever you and they have failed before, or the horrible way you or they have been treated, leave it go! Those issues are totally irrelevant for today. The past is the past. It's over! Everyone has a story. Choose to change your mental models. 'See' yourself and them as winners, not whiners and treat yourself and others that way. It's sequential, inside out, not outside in. You and then others. Get your own 'house' in order first.
"Life is divided into three terms-that which was, which is and will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present to live better in the future." William Wordsworth
Remember your roots. We've developed and grown into the person we have become because someone, or in my case, many someone's, believed in us. It was our parents, mentors, teachers, friends, God, all the above and many others. Along the way, there were (and are) people who believed in us and that belief helped us to believe in ourselves. When we stop, pause and reflect on where we began and where we are now and all those who've helped us and believed in us and then apply that same belief in others, the results can be (and are) amazing. Like all meaningful change, it has a beginning and middle but no end. It's continuous.
"Believe in yourself and stop trying to convince others." James De La Vega
Use words that encourage and inspire. Positive affirmations. A few examples like, "If I can, you can." "You will succeed." "You're potential is endless." "You're more than capable." "You're smart and articulate."
Assist them through the setbacks. I've discovered that few things in life have a trajectory that's straight up. On the contrary, there are many issues from our choices that are often straight down. There are times when we ask, "What am I doing? Am I crazy for trying this? "What was I thinking?" "I should have asked for help?" Don't let the negative thoughts get in the way. Bring them out. Talk about them with people you trust. Share your thoughts and then dismiss them. Vent! It's healthy. Then continue with your encouragement and prayers. Caution: prayers work! Be careful for that which you pray. You might just receive it.
Encourage others to play it forward. Regardless of when and where I'm greeted by others, my reply is always, "I'm vertical, take nourishment and play it forward when God provides the opportunities."
After a goal's achieved, encourage others (and yourself) to establish and seek more goals and continue that pattern. I believe we have an obligation, or errand to help those around us; those who seek our help and are truly committed and enrolled in the process. What we don't want to I do is become an enabler and weaken them emotionally, spiritually and physically. When we see others as better than they are or were and help them on their journey of self-realization and self-improvement it is one of the noblest things we can do for others. When they achieve success, it's a win-win. Many, many others have done that for me and for you too, I suspect and often without us even knowing it. So…"Pass the salt and make a difference in all you choose to do. Make a person, place or thing a little better for your having been there."
"Correction does much but encouragement does more." Johan Wolfgang von Goethe
Becky Hammon was recently hired as the first female basketball coach in the National Basketball Association (NBA) by the San Antonio Spurs. She's played professionally here in the U S and overseas for 17 years and begins her new position as an assistant coach next year.
In the Tuesday, August 12, 2014 edition of "USA Today Sports" an article written by Nancy Armour shares her exclusive interview with female basketball player Becky Hammon. "Even after all these years, Becky Hammon hears the voices in her ear," she said. "The assistant coach at Colorado State University was constantly on Hammond telling her she was going to be the school's first All-American. How she was going to do this. How she was going to do that," she said. In the interview Becky Hammond said, "but when she started speaking all that, she started planting seeds. 'Yeah, maybe. Maybe I could do that if I worked really hard,' Hammon said. "You have those people speaking really good things in your life and it grows and produces fruit later on," she said. "But somebody had to initially plant those good seeds."
"Hope and encouragement, especially hope, is probably one of the greatest things you can give another person," Hammond said. "I mean, what a gift to allow that person to be able to dream, to be able to say, 'Why not me?' 'Why couldn't I be the first?'"
"Hope is the thing that perches in the soul-and sings the tunes without the words-and never stops at all." Emily Dickinson
Life really IS like a roll of toilet paper. The closer to the end the faster it goes. When you leave this life, what will be your epitaph? What do you want others to say about you? How do you want to be remembered? When our time's up, it's up. No more make-ups or second chances. So…take time to be the person who others hear in their ears. Tell them how they're going to do this and how they're going to do that. Make the choice to become a planter of positive seeds then stand back and watch the 'plant(s)' grow. I know it works!!

Career Development: Traits of Exceptional EmployeesAugust 19th, 2014 by Megan Craig
Have you ever wondered what can make your work (and yourself) stand out from the crowd? Ever thought about what got your buddy that promotion, or how you can make the most of the position you're in? Forbes.com shared 18 traits of exceptional employees on their blog this week, and we think these are great ways to amp up your professional game. Enjoy the first four traits below:
"1. They rewrite their internal monologues. A strong will to win knows how to push out the negative voices bantering back and forth inside one's head and instead create a voice that challenges such negativity. In so doing, they answer their newly formed questions and turn the self-limiting "Why can't I do [task]?" question into the exploratory "How can I do [task]?"
2. They have a healthy disregard for authority. Employees with a strong will to win consider the rulebook as more of a guide while still working within the confines of what's "right." In other words, exceptional employees know how to solve problems creatively while not breaking the rules.
3. They don't wallow in regret. Exceptional employees feel good about their performance because they know they gave it their all. If a big fat "L" (for "Loser") is the takeaway for the day, they will learn, adapt and move on.
4. They display grit. In my BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL Training) class we started with 174 students who wanted to be Navy SEALs, but only 32 of us truly desired it. Why? Because the latter group chose to enact the defining quality that bridges the gap between want and wish, purpose and passion. What I'm talking about is grit."

Investigation Interviewing: 3 Tips to Improve Non-Verbal CommunicationAugust 12th, 2014 by Barb Phillips
Non-verbal communication (body language) is significant because it reveals how we feel (sometimes in spite of what we say), and it also reveals how other people feel about us. Most of us are not formally trained in non-verbal behaviors but living in the world has taught us many non-verbal cues informally.
For example, have you ever met someone and felt like you didn't like them but couldn't pinpoint why? They may have thrown off negative non-verbal cues that you picked up subconsciously, and that is why you stepped away from the experience feeling like you didn't like the person. You probably know more than you think you do about non-verbal communication from both positive and negative life experiences, and putting the pieces together will help you become a better communicator.
At the Global TapRooT® Summit we've shared best practices for decoding non-verbal behavior which is particularly helpful in incident investigation interviews.
When interviewing others after an accident or incident, it's very important to gain the interviewee's confidence and trust to put them at ease and help them remember important details. Today I'd like to share three quick tips on how to improve non-verbal communication that will improve your interviews.
1. Lower your eyebrows. When we relax tension in our faces, the rest of the body follows in relaxation. Close your eyes right now and release the tension in the forehead and brows. Notice how the rest of your body becomes more relaxed. Practice this before your interviewee arrives and your relaxed body language will help your interviewee relax as well.
2. Palms up. When we talk we often gesture with our hands. Palms up sends a message that we have nothing to hide in our agenda, and also conveys that we are open to receiving what the interviewee says. Palms down indicates that we have closed our thinking – it may send a message of conviction – that your mind has been made up about what caused the accident.
3. Don't overdo it on eye contact. Many people think that constant eye contact is important to communicate effectively, but it can be very intimidating for an interviewee. Make good eye contact but don't stare. Make eye contact for shorter periods of time releasing your gaze occasionally.
If you want to learn more about effective non-verbal communication, mark your calendar to attend our new 2-day Interviewing and Basic Investigation course, June 1-2, 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada right before the 2015 Global TapRooT® Summit.
Career Development: 10 CV/Resume Tips from Author & Career Coach Jeremy I'AnsonAugust 5th, 2014 by Megan Craig
Ever wondered what gets potential employers to do a double-take when they see your resume or CV? What gets them to set yours aside & call you for an interview? UK author and career coach Jeremy I'Anson shares his top 10 tips for getting your CV short-listed.
"Tip 1: Don't be dull
Supercharge some of the statements on your CV by using the "So what?" test. Imagine you have an employer sitting next to you as you write your CV who asks "So what?" after every statement.
Look at these rather dull statements from actual CVs.
• Led a team of 20 sales staff
• Devised an incentive scheme
• Managed an office relocation project
Now transform those statements on your CV by adding a result to make those dull statements more interesting.
• Led a team of 20 sales staff… who exceeded all performance targets.
• Devised an incentive scheme… that reduced staff turnover by 20pc.
• Managed an office relocation project… with minimal disruption to the business…"

Career Development: Lost Respect at Work? by Captain George J BurkJuly 9th, 2014 by Barb Phillips
Lost respect at work? A few tips on how to regain it.
Many of us have experienced it. First, it's the extended lunches. Then, you notice the late arrivals and unexcused tardiness. Next, are the assignments that aren't finished, not completed to specifications or seem to take longer than usual to complete. When you confront the employee(s) all you hear are the excuses: "I can't" or "That's not my job." That's your first outward example of a "Wake-Up Call" that you're a leader who's losing credibility and respect … and you figure out you need to make some changes … and quick.
"He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else." Benjamin Franklin
In every situation of which I'm familiar, regardless of the type of organization, when employees respect and trust their leaders and feel that respect and trust in return, you have a highly motivated employee(s) who are more creative and energized people who actually look forward to come to work every day. Every employee I've known, myself included, places a high value on a leader they can trust and respect and from who they can learn. That respect and trust is an important, intangible asset. You can't touch it or taste it but you CAN feel it and you know when it's there and when it isn't in the workplace and in the relationship.
"Leadership is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way." John Maxwell
If you need to re-establish yourself as a true leader who your employees and your leadership trust and hold in high esteem, here a few tips to help you reestablish that trust:
Appearances matter. Sometimes dress codes are taken to the extreme. It does seems odd to wear business attire when the company's culture is T-shirts and jeans. Upgrade you attire to gain respect at work. Develop an approachable presence and internally and externally polished image. Look good … feel good. Don't over spray with cologne or perfume to mask 'stuff.' You know what I'm talkin' about.
"Appearances rule the world." Fredrich Schiller
Establish regular feedback sessions with your staff. Leaders who don't communicate regularly and openly with their staffs miss the opportunity to discover what people really think. Regular feedback sessions not only demonstrate how much you value their opinions, but you'll also receive an objective, real-time assessment of their strengths and those areas that may need to improve.
"Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction." John C. Crosby
Trust demonstrated is trust earned. Empower your staff to own it. Encourage calculated risks and make sure they know you'll have their back if things don't turn out as expected. Trust them. Walk-The-Talk.
Watch your "pie hole." Words and actions have consequences! If you believe from your intuition and subtle feedback from your staff that you do receive less respect at work, it may because your actions don't mirror your words and vice versa. Words we use must always be respectful and clean, most discreet when it comes to personal issues and never openly criticize your staff. Praise in public and provide constructive feedback in private … with the door ajar … and with another person in the room with you … it is what it is … lesson learned.
"Good actions give strength to ourselves and inspire good actions in others." Plato
Know when to be quiet. Emotional tirades earn fear but no respect. Unless you're one of those (all too many 'leaders') who 'lead' by fear, tirades may make you feel better but they do little to change the culture at work, except to make it even more toxic. Egg shells are designed to be broken at home, not walked on at work. Address sensitive work issues at a private, one-on-one level not letting your ego show and proudly exclaiming them at meetings and embarrassing the employee(s). The opposite philosophy is always true. When you praise and thank people for a job they've done well, always do that in public. Be generous and genuine.
"Nothing strengthens authority more than silence." Leonardo da Vinci
Share your knowledge. As a leader, you have a great opportunity to be a teacher and mentor. The examples include work directly with a staff member to improve their written and/or oral communications or indirectly, when you lead by example. When you share your information and mentor others, you train and educate the organization's future leaders.
"The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind." Khalil Gibran
Suspend assumptions. Place any preconceived ideas you may have aside and really listen to an employee's proposal with an unbiased perspective. If a conflict does arise, remain objective, stay fair, don't show favoritism and provide the opportunity for everyone to succeed.
Remain involved. Said another way, get out from behind your desk and walk around the organization. Make the time and take the time to ask questions and then listen. Chat informally at company functions like an office party or get-togethers after work. Get to know your staff and encourage them get to know you. Leave your rank at work.
Be transparent. We've heard this many times of late. Change comes in many forms and many ways; some when not expected. When change is on the horizon, remain engaged with your employees and keep them in the loop as much as you can.
"One man's transparency is another man's humiliation." Gerry Adams
Establish the limits (Boundaries). If after your efforts to change the dynamics and your team or staff remain disrespectful, or if one or two apples still spoil the barrel and rather increase their disdain, it's time for more drastic action. Tell them their behavior is unacceptable and won't be tolerated. Explain the importance to maintain a civil level or respect and trust in the workplace. Then … document, document, document. This should be done as a routine practice, anyway. Then, at quarterly, semi-annual and annul performance reviews the behavior was documented and at your disposal.
"The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has limits." Albert Einstein
It's never easy to regain trust and respect at work and with your friends and your family once those values have been lost. A good start is to have a high regard and respect for you … to love yourself but not be in love with yourself. Have that same regard and trust for your team and employees. Want to gain or re-gain trust and respect? Be trustworthy and respectful first. It's inside out, not outside in … radiate and project what you want and expect outwards. This will most often encourage them to reciprocate.
"Men are respectable only as they are respected." Ralph Waldo Emerson

Career Development: Create!July 2nd, 2014 by Barb Phillips
"You should bring something into the world that wasn't in the world before.

Career Development: Are You Addicted to Stress?June 24th, 2014 by Barb Phillips
We all know that stress is bad for us both physically (increasing our risk for disease), and mentally (that overwhelming feeling). But in spite of our knowledge, did you know that we can actually become addicted to stress?
Who is at risk?
Type A personalities – those who operate at a maximum speed and aspire to achieve large goals. (Learn more.)
Type D personalities – those who struggle with negativity, depression, anxiety, stress, anger, and loneliness. (Learn more.)
So, how do you know if you're addicted to stress?
Research tells us that moderate amounts of stress are fine, even desirable, because it boosts our focus and energy. So don't automatically label yourself. If you are effectively managing your life and thriving under stress, it does not qualify as an addiction. The problem is when we wake up an internal craving for it, just as an alcoholic or drug addict would crave a high. If your life feels out-of-control, and in spite of your best efforts, you are not getting things done, you may be addicted to stress.
Stress-reducing ideas
Whether you're addicted or carrying a healthy load of stress, don't forget to balance your days with stress reducing activities.

Career Development: A "Beautiful" Way to Increase Productivity & CreativityJune 17th, 2014 by Barb Phillips
I have a habit of buying a bouquet of flowers for my office whenever I go grocery shopping – a guilty pleasure. Today, I read research that makes me feel a little less guilty. Did you know that exposure to flowers can:
- reduce anxiety, negativity and depression
- promote creativity (a University of Exeter study noted a 45% increase!)
- enhance innovative thinking
- increase productivity
One study indicated that people feel happier and had more energy after looking at flowers first thing in the morning. Flowers may even have a positive impact on memory. If you have a green thumb, research suggests that growing your own plants increases the benefits, improving health, well-being, and life satisfaction.
These benefits were noted in women and men, the young and the elderly.

It may be where you find your next big career opportunity. Sometimes we forget just how many people can see what we are putting online and this can work for or against us.
Here are 3 tips for cleaning up your digital footprint.
1. Search yourself. Put your name, in quotations, into three search engines and see what comes up. Is there anything you want to take off the internet? You may find old social profiles you no longer use (Myspace anyone?) that you are ready to delete.
2. Review the privacy settings. One thing to be sure of about the big three (Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn) is that their policies will change. You may have set privacy setting years ago and never revisited. Take some time to do so and ensure that the right people are seeing your posts.
3. Always use a flattering profile picture. You may have your Facebook privacy set so that only your close friends and family can see you, but if your profile is searchable, potential employers can look you up online and still see your profile photo, so choose wisely.

Career Development: When Life Throws You a CurveballJune 4th, 2014 by Barb Phillips
I really enjoy reading the "Career Curveballs" channel on LinkedIn. I think learning from another person's mistakes and hard times are as valuable as hearing from the experts. I recently read "The Most Important Mistake of My Life and How You Can Make Yours" by Judd Marcello which was posted on his website and then featured in the LinkedIn Career Curveballs channel.
This part of the article really stood out:
"People often talk about and write about purpose as if was a thing, e.g. tradesman, artist, developer. I have come to realize that for me it is not a thing, but my context. It is what I am here to do. It is within this context that I make career and life decisions, let alone my day-to-day micro decisions. When I make my next career move the decision criteria will be based primarily on whether or not I will be in the best possible position to apply my strengths in order to make a positive lasting impact on the business and the people involved. That is what I am here to do."

Career Development: A Lesson from the Baby Boomer GenerationMay 27th, 2014 by Barb Phillips
As part of the Baby Boomer generation (born between 1946 and 1964), I find it interesting how we've changed our attitudes about vacations over the last couple of decades. When we were building our careers, most of us didn't take many vacations at all — vacations were for wimps! Too much work to be done! Unused vacation days were a source of pride.
But the culture has changed over the years (and, well, we're not getting any younger and realizing there are a few things we missed). And as usual, Baby Boomers who make up about 26% of the population, continue to influence the travel industry who caters to what we want because we control a lion's share of the money that will be spent on travel.
Since the retirement age is getting older, part of what we want are exciting vacations that don't eat up all of our vacation days at once so we can take several. So now we are seeing shorter international tours (7-10 days as opposed to 21 days) and shorter cruise itineraries. We are explorers so we are seeing more adventures like safari and backpacking tours (but don't forget the amenities – boomers like to explore but we don't like roughing it). So, younger generations, you can thank us for all of these shorter, more affordable options.
Finally, we are leading the workplace in vacation plans this summer. We've figured it out — vacations are important!
But in case you're thinking of not taking one this year due to all the work to be done, here is an interesting fact sheet from the Boston College Center for Work & Family that lists 20 reasons why it's important to take a work-free vacation:

What are your vacation plans this summer? Have your attitudes about taking a vacation changed over the span of your career?
Career Development: How Many Times a Day Should You Check Your Work Email?May 20th, 2014 by Barb Phillips
I admit, this is one of my pet peeves. Probably because the work I do is done in chunks of time, and any interruption, (especially email), is a kiss of death to my productivity. Nothing annoys me faster than to have someone send me an email and then call me or come into my office and say with a wee bit of an edge in the voice, "Did you see that email I sent? I sent it an hour ago." Well, I don't check my email every hour. Sometimes I don't check it all day if I'm really tied up on something.
Just how often should we be checking our emails anyway?
Minda Zetlin would disagree with my habit. In her Inc. article, "3 Reasons the Experts are Wrong About Email," she asserts that reading your email frequently makes you and your team more productive, not less. She wrote that a lot of her work happens in email and her team members need more frequent feedback to do their jobs. She also feels she would miss critical information if she didn't check it frequently.
Others are more in line with my way of thinking. Craig Jarrow, Author of Time Management Ninja, thinks you'll get more done if you only check your email twice each day – once in the morning and once at the end of the day. He wrote that unless you are a customer service rep "email is not your job."
Steve Plavlina even did an experiment and only checked his email and social media accounts three times a week to find out what would happen. He wrote a long list of key benefits including ease of maintaining focus on goals; enjoying the most productive weeks he's had in years; and greater sense of time. In fact, he could only think of one negative: missing a disc golf game. (Read about his experiment here.)
After reading all of these articles, I surmised that there is really no right or wrong answer. I suppose it all boils down to whether or not email is one of the main tools you use in your job to get the work accomplished you were hired to do.
What do you think? How many times a day do you check your email and why?
Career Development: Is Your Employee Ready for a Higher Level Job?May 8th, 2014 by Barb Phillips
I met Tom Foster, author of Hiring Talent, and heard him talk about management myths related to getting the right people in the right jobs. He said that managers spend too much time trying to climb inside the head of their employees to determine if they can handle the responsibilities of being promoted to higher level jobs.
A better method, he asserts, is to stop playing amateur psychologist, and instead give the employee a higher level project (work similar to what they would do in a new role), and wait to see how the employee performs.
Employees will give clues as to whether or not they can handle a higher level job by how they perform on the higher level project. He said when you pass the project ("the ball") to the employee, you'll see these signs when they are ready to move up:
1. They won't give the ball back.
2. They won't drop the ball.
3. They will carry the ball to the end goal.
Just because the person is great in a current position doesn't mean the employee will be great at a higher level position. It may be that the employee is in the right position right now. However, if you are not promoting a capable employee, you are taking a risk that the employee may find a higher level job outside of your company. If you are on the fence about giving a promotion to a higher level job to one of your employees, try giving a higher level project to the employee at his or her current level, and use the employee's performance as an indicator of his or her true capability.
Want to know more?
Foster said it was critical to not only understand the work that is being done day in and day out at your organization, but to also study the different levels of the work within your organization. He talked about a scientific measuring stick "Time Span" (Time Span Handbook – 1964) – the length of time a person can effectively work into the future without direction, using discretionary judgment, to achieve a specific goal. He believes that time span, technical knowledge/skill, interest/passion and habits are the best indicators of an employee's capabilities.

Career Development: Are You Adverse or Averse to Grammar Tips?May 5th, 2014 by Barb Phillips
Grammar – love it or hate it? If you are averse to learning grammar tips ("averse" means you dislike them … "adverse" means unfavorable, like "adverse weather"), this post won't be too painful.
In fact, this quiz may make you feel smarter once you refresh your knowledge, and will also help you give a better impression in the workplace. And if you feel pretty good about your grammar skills, take the quiz as a quick brainteaser to flex your grammar muscles!
Quiz: Ten Words That Are Commonly Used Incorrectly
Fill in the blank (the answers are at the bottom of the post):
1. When it comes to company culture, we all share the same [principles | principals].
2. [Whose | Who's] laptop is this?
3. We want to [ensure | insure] that this mistake never happens again.
4. Why did you [imply | infer] at the meeting that I would not be receptive to your idea?
5. Root cause analysis training [complements | compliments] his college degree for a quality engineer position.
6. This candidate has a college degree but that [criteria | criterion] alone does not qualify him for this position.
7. There was a small [number | amount] of people at the staff meeting.
8 I hear that [alot | a lot].
9. [It's | its] exciting to know that the next Global TapRooT® Summit is scheduled in Las Vegas.
10. The marketing campaign did not [ellicit | illicit] the response we were hoping for.
1. Principles. "Principle" usually means a standard or rule; "principal" often refers to a person but can also mean first or foremost i.e., "the principal quality we are looking for is trustworthiness."
2. Whose. Who's is a contraction for "Who is" – "Who is laptop is this?" doesn't make sense.
3. Ensure. Ensure means to guarantee. Insure usually refers to financial or insurance policies, although some stylebooks say they can be used interchangeably.
4. Imply. The speaker implies; the listener infers, i.e., "He implied that I was dishonest, at least that is what I inferred from our conversation."
5. Complement. To complement means something goes nicely with something else. A compliment is something nice you say about someone.
6. Criterion. Criterion refers to one item; criteria refers to more than one (but as our reader pointed, sometimes is used to refer to one item).
7. Number. Number is used when you can count the number of things. Amount is used when you can't count it in numbers. ("He had a huge amount of contempt for anyone who tried to teach him grammar.")
8. A lot. Two words. Always.
9. It's. "It's" is a contraction for "it is."
10. Ellicit. Ellicit means to coax, illicit means unlawful or illegal.

Career Development: Just Because I'm Nice, Don't Assume I'm DumbApril 30th, 2014 by Barb Phillips
Amy J.C. Cuddy wrote about why people make snap judgments about another person's competence based on how friendly they are in her article "Just Because I'm Nice, Don't Assume I'm Dumb."
Would it surprise you to read that most people will stereotype you as less competent if you have a warm personality? Cuddy's research indicates that they may. Read her article about the warmth/competence model and how to avoid wrongly sizing up your colleagues and co-workers: (Read article.)

Career Development: Living Your Purpose? Find Out at a Glance!April 25th, 2014 by Barb Phillips
In the busy-ness of life, it is good to pause from time to time and reflect on whether or not you are living out your purpose. This is a cool graph that will tell you at a glance. And remember,
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." ~ Steve Jobs

Blue Bomber Report Record: 7–11–0
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Jags castoff says he's coming to Winnipeg
TIM BURKE says it comes as news to him that the club might be about to bring in a new offensive tackle.
"I don't know anything about it... Really," the Winnipeg Blue Bombers head coach said Wednesday afternoon after practice at Canad Inns Stadium.
Related Items
Burke was responding to reports on Twitter this week that 6-7, 305-pound offensive tackle Lee Barbiasz -- a recent cut of the Jacksonville Jaguars -- is about to join the Bombers.
The reports appeared to originate with Barbiasz himself. A tweet on Tuesday from an account registered in the player's name stated: "Well, it's official... I'm heading up to Winnipeg to play some Canadian football."
But Burke said the first time he'd heard Barbiasz's name was when reporters asked about him Wednesday afternoon.
Barbiasz, 24, played college football at Northern Colorado and was in training camp with the NFL's Jaguars this year before being released.
The CFL practice rosters expand next week and Burke has said previously that he and GM Joe Mack are actively engaged in trying to bring in some new players.
But there doesn't appear to be any urgent need for tackle help at the moment.
Veteran Glenn January has the left tackle spot locked down. He missed practice on Tuesday but was back on the field Wednesday, taking all the first-team reps.
And the right tackle position is a battle right now between Shannon Boatman and Jordan Taormina.
Taormina is back practising this week after missing the last two games with a pinched nerve. But Boatman, who filled in for Taormina, is continuing to receive all the first team reps and it appears he will get his third straight start when the 3-9 Bombers host the 6-6 Toronto Argonauts Saturday night.
Also Wednesday, slotback Terrence Edwards returned to practice after missing Tuesday, but defensive back Johnny Sears sat out his second straight day.
Burke said Sears is expected to practise today. Demond Washington has been filling in at cornerback for Sears.
A Spring in the Step
"I think there's a little more confidence. And that's what we needed more than anything else. There's more spring in the step. Guys are really hustling in practice. I was really happy with today's practice and yesterday's practice."
--Bombers head coach Tim Burke on the new attitude he's seen in his team since they snapped a four-game losing streak with a win over Hamilton last Friday
Kid in the Hall
"He came to us and we knew he was a good pass rusher. When he was in the NFL, he was known just as a pass-down guy. And we felt he just had to improve his run defence. And he has."
--Bombers head coach Tim Burke on defensive end Alex Hall, whose 8 sacks ties him with BC's Keron Williams for the CFL sack lead but who is impressing his own coaches more with his run defence.

Gov't Okays Texas Stretch of Keystone Pipeline
People in east Texas need to brace themselves and get ready, because the way has been cleared for a major stretch of the controversial Keystone XL Pipeline from Canada. Barring a successful legal challenge, it's coming.
The Beaumont Enterprise reports the US Army Corps of Engineers has granted construction permits for the builder, TransCanada, to build the lower half of the pipeline from Oklahoma to refineries on the Texas coast. The Corps is still reviewing permits for other sections of the pipeline.
The planned route will take the pipeline through 17 east Texas counties, including Angelina. Landowners in those counties are vowing to fight TransCanada's use of eminent domain powers to get easements and rights of way across their land.
The Keystone pipeline has become a major political issue. Environmentalists say it will bring unnecessary environmental and pollution dangers to the United States. Supporters say it will create jobs and reduce American dependence on oil from the Middle East.

|Beckett wins 20th for Red Sox, who add another game to AL East lead
|Written by Admin
|Saturday, 22 September 2007 00:33
And the New York Yankees did their part for Boston, too.
Beckett pitched six strong innings to become the first 20-game winner in the majors since 2005, and the Red Sox used late home runs by Varitek, Ortiz and Lowell to pull away to an 8-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on Friday night.
Coupled with the Yankees' 5-4 loss to Toronto in 14 innings, the Red Sox increased their AL East lead to 2 1/2 games and reduced their magic number to clinch at least a wild-card playoff berth to two.
``We had a little talk before the game,'' Ortiz said. ``We said just start having fun like we've been doing, and we want to play the game and forget about the division thing for a night. We wanted to walk away from that and just focus on winning the game.''
That was made a bit easier by putting Beckett (20-6) on the mound. He won for the seventh time in his last eight decisions, yielding one run while striking out eight and helping Boston snap a four-game losing streak that had allowed the Yankees to climb back into contention.
``Twenty wins, it means a lot,'' Beckett said. ``It takes a lot of people to win that many games. I don't know if I can take credit for all of it.''
Relievers Manny Delcarmen, Javier Lopez and Eric Gagne pitched three perfect innings to finish the victory.
``When you're playing this time of year, and you're playing against teams that have a chance to go to the dance, there's a different feeling,'' Devil Rays manager Joe Maddon said. ``They're definitely playing to go somewhere, and that matters.''
In other AL games, it was Seattle 6, the Los Angeles Angels 0; Cleveland 4, Oakland 3; Detroit 5, Kansas City 4; Texas 3, Baltimore 2; and the Chicago White Sox 6, Minnesota 4.
Ortiz had an RBI single off Scott Kazmir (13-9) in the third and added a three-run homer off Jeff Ridgway in the ninth. Varitek hit a solo homer off Gary Glover in the eighth and Lowell followed Ortiz's 32nd homer with a solo shot off Grant Balfour in the ninth.
Beckett improved to 11-2 on the road and is the Red Sox's first 20-game winner since Curt Schilling won 21 in 2004. He's the first in the majors to do it since 2005, when Dontrelle Willis, Chris Carpenter, Bartolo Colon and Roy Oswalt all reached the plateau.
``To win 20, he's been on a pretty good roll all year,'' Boston manager Terry Francona said.
The Yankees had finally been getting on a roll late in the season, but strong pitching by Roy Halladay and timely hitting allowed the Blue Jays to squelch a comeback bid.
Gregg Zaun's homer in the 14th inning off Brian Bruney (3-2) came after the Yankees, handcuffed into the ninth by Halladay, scored four times to tie it.
``I was proud of how we bounced back,'' said Yankees manager Joe Torre, whose club had won four in a row and 12 of 14. ``It's just disappointing how it ended.''
Joe Kennedy (4-9) escaped a 13th-inning jam and got two outs in the 14th. Jason Frasor struck out pinch-hitter Wilson Betemit for his third save.
Halladay outpitched Chien-Ming Wang, allowing four runs - one earned - and eight hits while striking out four. He walked none and threw 82 of his 110 pitches for strikes.
``That's about as dominant as I've seen him. He was having an easy time with us,'' Torre said.
Wang yielded two runs, one earned, and six hits in seven innings.
``He was just stacked up against a real good pitcher,'' Yankees pitching coach Ron Guidry said. ``But that's what aces do.''
Mariners 6, Angels 0
At Anaheim, Calif., Jarrod Washburn (10-15) scattered five hits over seven innings against his former teammates, and Adrian Beltre and Jose Vidro each drove in a pair for Seattle.
The Angels get two more chances to clinch the division title against the second-place Mariners this week. Los Angeles' lead over Seattle is 8 1/2 games.
Joe Saunders (8-4) gave up five runs and nine hits in 5 2-3 innings.
Indians 4, Athletics 3
At Cleveland, Fausto Carmona (18-8) won his fourth straight start and Ryan Garko and Jhonny Peralta hit back-to-back homers as Cleveland lowered its magic number for clinching its first AL Central title since 2001 to two.
Joe Borowski pitched the ninth for his league-leading 43rd save.
Joe Blanton (14-10) matched Carmona until the sixth when he gave up four straight hits to start the inning. He went 5 2-3 innings, allowing four runs and 10 hits.
Tigers 5, Royals 4
At Detroit, Brandon Inge hit a go-ahead, two-run single off Leo Nunez (2-4) in the sixth inning for Detroit, which moved within 4 1/2 games of New York in the wild-card race.
Tim Byrdak (2-0) did not give up a hit over four innings. Todd Jones pitched the ninth for his 38th save. He gave up the only hit the bullpen allowed in 6 2-3 innings.
Rangers 3, Orioles 2
At Arlington, Texas, Luis Mendoza (1-0) scattered four hits over five innings, and Joaquin Benoit earned his sixth save in 12 chances by working a shaky ninth for Texas.

Arizona Cardinals
Patrick Peterson #33 on NFL Top 100 List
During the offseason, the NFL does a great job of marketing their product and creating events to keep the rabid fans of the league satisfied.
Don't believe me? Bet you watched at least a little NFL Scouting Combine coverage and tuned into the the league's primetime unveiling of the 2013 schedule.
Another offseason time filler is the presentation of the league's Top 100 Players on NFL.com and NFL Network.
The Arizona Cardinals have been represented on the list earlier with linebacker Daryl Washington coming in at #94.
Pro Bowl cornerback and punt returner Patrick Peterson is the second Cardinal to appear on the list, at number 33.
Peterson has made a huge impact in his two years in the league, tying a single season NFL record with four punt returns in his rookie season in 2011 and ranking third in the league with seven interceptions in 2012.
Check out the entire list here.

As Jason Gotay prepares to enter a Broadway musical with the kind of high-flying stunts he didn't get to do in Bring It On: The Musical (we can't reveal the name of the show quite yet…), he met up with Seth Rudetsky for a new episode of OBSESSED! Gotay chatted about his mixed heritage, a recent sponsored ten-day trip to Israel, the rigors of wearing a "stoner poncho" in Bring It On and a new website that is an exhaustive resource for the sheet music of contemporary musical theatre. Gotay and Seth then performed a Bill Nelson and Will Aronson tune about one of the most popular "Star Wars" heroes using sheet music downloaded from that very same site. Read Seth's weekly column.

Faith Community Nursing
Future of Nursing Initiative
For insights into why men make up only 6% of nurses, researchers conducted an online survey in late 2004. A total of 498 male RNs completed the 34-item questionnaire.
Fifty percent of respondents said they encounter difficulty in the workplace related to nursing being a traditionally female profession. As the graph at right shows, the largest proportion of these respondents (71%) felt their female colleagues view male RNs as "muscle."
Asked what they like best about their workday, respondents answered as follows:
* caring for/helping/patient care (63%)
* variety/challenge (16%)
* making a difference (10%).
Like all nurses, these men cite workload, inadequate staffing, and paperwork as top workday dissatisfactions.
The survey was conducted by the Bernard Hodes Group in partnership with the California Institute for Nursing and Healthcare, the Coalition for Nursing Careers in California, and the American Assembly for Men in Nursing. For a free copy of complete results and verbatim comments, go to http://www.hodes.com/MenInNursingSurvey.

Cousins has his number called, delivers for the Redskins
Sun, 9 Dec 2012|
CSN Washington dot com. I gotta be honest I looked at my producer Gary Carter you -- there so I think Kirk cousins can make a play here but then you look up at second and pointing. You're up against the 93 vaunted Ravens defense what were you thinking when your number got called.
Well I think you try not to focus on those external factors you try to just focus on your job and my job was. To run the play call to go through my progression. Is so I did that but certainly benefit -- professor fears call it. The recovery came in made some tremendous plays on on one leg more lesson. You know just -- the -- the next is trying to do to be somewhat of a robot and just do what -- to do.
I know this is what you're job is what you're born to do but how tough is it to walk in your cold -- haven't played haven't really. Done much of anything in a long time to get up and that physically make plays.
Is typical inside deal I think I can show myself as a much better quarterback if I was getting reps all week and if I was playing from the start of the game to the finish but. This is apathy I have been last year ready and is the best I can do right now and I'm a control what I can control. And fortunately today things worked in my favor.
When you're practicing during the week game planning are you. Literally thinking about when that moment comes I have to make sure I'm on my point is they need to make plays.
Exactly I have to be ready to go there's there's no excuses you can't say adding get reps -- you can't -- what was -- warm -- SN uses the NFL -- complaints so. My job is to mentally stay locked in aware that your piece all game long trying to hear the plays and just. From my limited vanish. My in my limited perspective from the sideline tried to read the defense -- that I would do need to play and I think that does certainly well I have to going.
Look at the pump fake to Santana maybe drew a defensive back on the on the touchdown -- to hear what excuses.
You know I that we didn't see much didn't really try to pump and really feel like I had anything in. Playoff instincts I tried to take off and I guess turn my robot off a little bit and try to make something happen off schedule and Pierre did a great job on covering on his round and it wasn't off schedule played in a -- their favor.
I think -- RG three was on the field everyone would have predicted quarterback draw. Not so much and Kirk cousins on there somewhere that was it your choice did you have a choice on that what you think with the play -- as well.
Cushion and passing is done a great job trying to get my. Comfort level a certain plays but truth be told I'm new to this offense summit trust him. He's a phenomenal job and Robert you've seen now with the plays that he's on the successful positions but Robert -- but. He's also the same in me and down you know the more I'm able to get to know him -- office more than dialogue we can have in the right play called that. In that situation was tremendous play call and I just had XQ what what was called. Again what did you see the defense did you know at any moment of his players can work. -- covers and felt like as long as the blocks were made and I could you know move quickly enough I wasn't going to be Robert but as long as I could -- giddy up to me I I should be able to score and fortunately we had some great blocks made in. You know I'm not gonna get there quite as fast as Robert does so I'm sure made a little more nerve racking for the sideline to watch but. We found a way to get in and -- spike the ball and enjoyed a moment.
Speaking of a guy with a limited minutes in limited reps Richard Crawford comes in as the new punt returner. It's pretty remarkable play he made.
They're a great -- get north and south anytime your punt return to get any kind of yards back is a bonus for us in and so first joint testimony get north and south and he's been doing that and obviously when you when you can get north to south to split the defense. It opens up a lot of holes the scenes in and he did that in down. It was a phenomenal player made myself a lot easier -- hit the ball off down the stretch did you look at as he walked off those that he couldn't beat the punter to take it to the house staff I you know what I thought he had I just assumed he had turnaround how Robert how we had won an inside at tackle in the OK at least he is that they handed off so we found a way to get the lead and then mr. automatic car -- you know what I just stay away from the guy let him do is staying. And just I don't want to jinx anything. Well you certainly got tremendous performance congratulations and good luck for number was called next week okay thinking but -- CSN Washington dot com.
