|Carl Tennyson
|Human, Vulpimancer
|Professional Status
|Tennyson Family
Ben's Team
|Personal Status
|Sandra Tennyson (wife)
Ben Tennyson (son) Max Tennyson (father) Verdona Tennyson (mother) Frank Tennyson (brother) Natalie Tennyson (sister-in-law) Gwen Tennyson (niece) Kenneth Tennyson (nephew)
Carl Tennyson is the elder son of Max and Verdona Tennyson, the husband of Sandra Tennyson, and the father of Ben Tennyson.
Alien ForceEdit
Carl first appeared in Grounded, where he and Sandra discover Ben's superhero activities. Apparently unable to handle the thought of their son constantly risking his life, and angered about Ben's constant lying about his activities, they ground him, forbid him from using the Omnitrix, and tell Gwen's parents of her superheroism, resulting in her grounding as well and Kevin being forced to fight the Highbreed alone.
Additionally, Carl was furious when he found out his father had something to do with it. When this proves to be too much for Kevin to handle, Ben openly defies his parents and uses the Omnitrix to turn into Humungousaur and, (literally) break out of the house and help Kevin; through this, they realize how important the things Ben is doing really is.
They come to help Ben and Kevin fight, and admitted that they are proud of Ben, allowing him to resume his heroism. During this time, Carl admits that he had known all along about Max's time in the Plumbers and resented him for it, but now realizes that he was protecting them, just as Ben was.
Ultimate AlienEdit
Carl reappeared in Hit 'Em Where They Live. He was ambushed by Charmcaster, Zombozo and Vulkanus. They flattened his car tire, making him unable to escape. They were about to strike when Ben, Gwen and Kevin came along and saved him. He was completely oblivious to what was happening.

What kind of dress styles do girls like the most on guys? I know this is going to vary greatly based on personal opinion but there has to be some kind of general agreement. So what do you like best?
Jeans and a flannel?
More skater boy style with a flat brim and high top shoes?
V neck sweaters and nice pants?
Dressy button up shirts with some black slim fit pants?
Or anything in between
Most Helpful Girl
Jeans and a t-shirt but like one of those t-shirts that have a phrase like "I'm allergic to stupid people achoo" or "sarcasm is just another free service I provide" "I'm not arguing I'm just explaining why I'm right"😂 it shows that he is humorous and has a sense of humor like he doesn't take life too serious.00|00|0

Dan Spitz (born January 28, 1963) is an American musician. He was the lead guitarist of the thrash metal band Anthrax from 1983 to 1995 and from 2005 to 2007. He is the brother of former Black Sabbath bassist Dave Spitz.
Dan Spitz is a follower of Messianic Judaism.
Before playing in Anthrax, Spitz was a lead guitarist for local thrash metal band Overkill, and also Thrasher, at which time he shared the stage with bass virtuoso Billy Sheehan.
In 1995, Spitz left Anthrax, due to a severe disinterest in playing guitar. In the meantime, he attended the Watchmakers of Switzerland Training and Educational Program (WOSTEP) on a full scholarship and opened his own watch repair shop.[1]
On April 1, 2005, Anthrax announced an Among the Living reunion, and Spitz was reunited with the band. They embarked on a world tour and released a DVD with footage from those performances. Following the end of the reunion tour, Spitz again left Anthrax to concentrate on his watch designs. He has since been replaced by Rob Caggiano, who was Anthrax's lead guitarist immediately prior to the 2005 reunion.
Personal life
Spitz and his wife, Candi, have twin boys named Brendan Alan and Jaden Michael, born in 2007. Spitz also has two teenage daughters, Julia and Lianna.
Born Jewish, Spitz converted to Messianic Judaism.[2]

That show was one of my favorites growing up and I loved how the series progressed. Who were your favorite characters? Favorite sagas? Most epic moments? Etc.
Most Helpful Girl
I love DBZ! It was a big deal growing up! I had the toys, cards, magazines, VHS tapes, keychains, etc... I even remember Burger King having those silver or gold DBZ toys in their kids' meals! My favorite character has always been Vegeta. I remember reading a lot of Bulma/Vegeta fanfiction in middle school.
I'd have to say my favorite sagas are the Namek through Freiza sagas. I love the Freiza saga! The most epic moment to me was when Goku went Super Saiyan for the first time and when he couldn't escape Namek as it was about to explode.
DBZ was one of the best parts of my childhood and something I will never forget.10|10|0

TEMPE, Ariz. – Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians has joked all week that Daryl Washington's return was like trading for a Pro Bowler.
Well, it took a trade to get Washington on the roster.
The Cardinals made their trade of tackle Levi Brown trade to the Pittsburgh Steelers official Wednesday afternoon. Brown's vacated roster spot went to Washington, who returns from a four-game suspension.
Arizona also placed linebacker Vic So'oto (chest) on injured reserved and signed linebacker Marcus Benard. Benard played in 25 games from 2009 to 2011 with Cleveland, and spent the 2013 preseason with New England.
At practice Wednesday, linebacker Jasper Brinkley (groin), guard Daryn Colledge (shin) and safety Rashad Johnson (finger) did not participate.
"We're going to still be iffy with [Johnson] today," Arians said. "We're going to take our time with that finger and make sure there's no infection that could possibly happen."
Defensive tackle Darnell Dockett (groin), linebacker Kevin Minter (hamstring) and defensive end Ronald Talley (wrist) were all limited.
"They'll be fine," Arians said.

The best weight loss products get a poor rap. And, many products just help you lose water weight. You can lose weight with those synthetic blends but the weight loss would be short-term. Those weight loss products like https://phentermine-results.com/need the bad press. Naturally, some products are available that aid in weight loss when combined with the best diet and exercise regime such as minerals, nutrients, and vitamins. These best weight loss products are good at boosting your natural metabolic rate and help you lose more weight in this way.
Here is a list of best weight loss products available for incredible weight loss.
Whey protein
We all know that the protein is your friend if you are looking for weight loss. You will be building more muscles with the protein and will be losing more weight. Stronger muscles give you higher metabolism so you have to replace fat with the muscles to increase your weight loss. Try to drink the protein shake before and after the workout to consider your weight loss. In this way, your hunger will be controlled and you will be eating less after that.
Caffeine (methylxanthine)
Caffeine helps you in many ways from treating cancer to more health benefits. It has also been proved that it enhances fat oxidation. Your body will break the fat cells and use them as a source of energy. Isn't it all you want? Furthermore, it improves your stamina making you able you work hard. By burning fat you will be having more calcium in your body to help muscle contraction. So, Aim to have caffeine before and after the workout to support the fat burning.
Green tea extract
Green tea stimulates brown adipose tissue thermogenesis and increases fat burning as well. A Low dose of green tea daily will help you lose almost 33 % fat according to the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
It is naturally produced in the body and it is the builder of the muscles helping you maintain a healthy gut and repairing the muscles. Glutamine also stabilizes your blood sugar. If you take glutamine supplements for a month you will be losing a lot of weight without even changing your diet.
Hydroxycitric acid (HCA):
HCA is one of the best weight loss products. It is extracted from the Southeast Asian dried fruit plant's salt. It suppresses your appetite, increases your metabolism, and absorbs fat from your diet. So you will be losing subcutaneous, visceral, and total fat.
Cayenne pepper
Cayenne paper is also one of the best weight loss products. It helps boost your metabolism and make you eat less food. You will be snacking less and craving less sweet food according to a study from Purdue University. Furthermore, it is found by the UCLA researchers that its root helps you enhance your basal metabolic rate by 20%. Meanwhile, Biophysical Society Annual Meeting's research has found that capsinoids present in it activate the fat cells, causing white fat cells to be burned. Capsinoids present in it, in fact, controls your sympathetic nervous system.

Heather Rome, Formerly of DAI - Diplomacy in the Workplace
Heather Rome is a Project Manager and international businesswoman who has experience working with international companies such as DAI (Development Alternatives Inc.) She is skilled in workplace diplomacy and, though her talents are often used in managing relations between international parties, they also apply to office etiquette.
Navigating the daily workplace with diplomacy in mind can help you to create a positive professional image no matter where you work. You don't need to be Heather Rome or work with a global company like DAI to benefit from tips like those listed below:
Listen – Careful, respectful listening to all people with whom you speak is paramount for diplomacy. Engage in active listening by asking questions to be sure that you completely understand the points that the other party is communicating. This shows that you are willing to learn and that you think with an open mind.
Avoid Gossip – Strict avoidance of workplace gossip will help you maintain a position as a neutral party. If you must criticize someone's work or actions, speak with him or her in private and state your case in a calm, professional way so that you can jointly work towards a solution.
Be Proactive – If a situation begins to deteriorate, take proactive measures to steer the conversation towards positive topics and a focus on problem-solving. If necessary, initiate a cool-off break before addressing issues to stop the situation from further deterioration.
Professionals like Heather Rome DAI, with DAI experience, take the time to study diplomacy regularly so that they can improve their skills and maintain positive professional relationships. Such practices will make for more pleasant and productive daily interactions.
Heather Rome, Formerly of DAI, and Emerging Markets Facts
During the near decade that Heather Rome spent working with Development Alternatives Inc. (DAI) she became more proficient in her interactions with emerging market countries. An emerging market is a country that has begun to offer investment and trade opportunities, but is still generally considered underdeveloped in comparison to other regions of the world. Investing in an emerging market can be a risk, however, that risk also offers the possibility of a big reward.
- The population of an emerging market plays a large role in determining the risk to reward ratio of investment. Currently, the top two emerging markets are India and China. Both countries are heavily populated. Nearly ninety percent of the world's total population lives in an emerging market.
- Investment in an emerging market is a door that swings both ways. A smart investor will look for opportunities to provide a consumable product to these markets, meeting a need or filling a demand that is yet untapped. The people living in emerging markets have the potential to become consumers of the new product, and those consumers will drive demand in looking for new products and services that an investor or global company may be able to provide.
- For China and India, their position as an emerging market is due in part to the industrial revolutions that have been taking place over the last century. As the countries continue to grow, so may the number of residents with increased buying power for new consumer demands. Former DAI professional Heather Rome DAI enjoys working with emerging markets and countries that are growing.
Heather Rome, Formerly of DAI - How Positivity Can Improve Your Career
Heather Rome, formerly of DAI (Development Alternatives Inc.), is a business professional who manages comprehensive responsibilities in each of her business roles. Her positive attitude is beyond standard in comparison to other busy professionals, but Heather Rome has seen how her mindset has helped her to advance in companies like DAI. If you start applying positivity to your own professional mindset, you might notice some of the following changes:
- You'll Become a Role Model – When you demonstrate positivity in the workplace, you become a role model to your peers. Positive behavior makes you someone to watch and admire, as well as someone to learn from. For example, when a peer is grouchy at work, they might see your positivity and strive to be more upbeat despite of his or her bad day.
- You'll Pave the Way to Success – A positive influence in the workplace is noticed and, often, that person has a greater chance to more rapidly advance to a higher position. Rather than paving the way to success with ruthless tactics that eliminate competition, positive people reach success in a more collaborative manner that builds a better reputation and produces greater levels of accomplishment.
- You'll Brush Off Negativity – Regardless of how positive you are in the workplace, chances are that you will face negative people or situations from time to time. Positivity will help you to more rapidly brush aside these negative occurrences.
Heather Rome, formerly of DAI, and similar professionals apply positivity to their lives for many reasons in addition to the ones listed above. As you become more positive in your own work life and enjoy the benefits listed above, you will also begin to see additional benefits in your personal life.
Second Language Spoken by Heather Rome, Formerly of DAI
Through her international work, including Development Alternatives Incorporated (DAI), Heather Rome found her bilingual talents very useful. During and prior to DAI, she used her fluency in Spanish to provide translation services. Learning another language and teaching English as a second language are valuable investments. Teaching English to students who speak another language is a little different than teaching English to an English speaker. There are different considerations and various methods that are more effective for this demographic.
When teaching beginning learners, lesson plans that revolve around vocabulary and rudimentary grammar are key. These can include spelling games, music and songs that reinforce grammar, and guided reading from English language stories. Intermediate learners will focus more on conversation, reading, and writing. Important tools to use during this teaching time can include daily newspapers and magazines, intermediate level books, and movies that are age appropriate. Advanced learners of the English language should spend time really getting to the heart and soul of the English language. This requires a further examination of grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
While some tenses in other language are more complicated than in English, English tenses can be difficult to grasp as a second language. Therefore, a good deal of time will need to be spent on identifying and correctly using the past, present, and future tenses of verbs. This is also the time where vocabulary can be built at a richer level. Former DAI manager, Heather Rome DAI, has seen where teaming students with conversation partners and encouraging them to practice annunciation is helpful in building the confidence needed for effective communication.
Hints for Communication Provided by International Professional Heather Rome, Formerly of DAI
Diplomacy is a trait that Heather Rome DAI has honed through her years of work with Development Alternatives Incorporated (DAI) and beyond. To be recognized as a communicator who exhibits behavior that is tactful is a meaningful goal for any professional. Those who understand this usually find themselves going further in business thanks to their superior communication skills and the ability to effectively negotiate. Acting in a fashion that is considered discreet earns admiration from associates and colleagues and fosters trust. Communications are also less strained, mutual respect is built, and long term relationships are more likely for persons with this ability.
Diplomacy is not an innate ability, but a skill that is learned. Years of experience leads those with this skill to the recognition that being diplomatic requires self-awareness, and the awareness of others. Before anyone can truly show a diplomatic skill set, they must learn to be sensitive to the needs of others. Especially when handling foreign affairs, cultural differences, feelings, beliefs, and opinions must be respected. It should always be acknowledged that every person and every situation is unique. Standard intelligence may take a business person far in the corporate world, but emotional intelligence will see them reach even loftier goals. This knack for understanding the emotions of others is something that many successful professionals strive for.
After her gainful tenure with DAI, Heather Rome has further developed the techniques associated with a diplomatic communication skill set. With polite assertiveness and discernment, she repeatedly, easily, and fluidly builds a positive rapport with individuals from various backgrounds.
Cross Cultural Communication Tips Offered by Long Time International Project Professional, previously of DAI, Heather Rome
Speaking to and working alongside individuals from across the globe offers unique social and cultural opportunities. When working with Development Alternatives Incorporated (DAI) and beyond Heather Rome gained experience in this area, especially regarding the importance of appropriate cross cultural communication. Each nation, and therefore each culture, has different methods of daily interactions, various definitions of acceptable reactions to events, and differing views on what is polite or expected. Initially it may seem challenging to communicate effectively with individuals of another culture, as it is can unfortunately be incredibly simple to accidently create communication mistakes. Even the smallest misunderstanding, or the most seemingly innocent error, can cause a breakdown in communication that could halt progress.
According to Rome, who has traveled the world for business, one of the best tips anyone should know is how to listen. Listening to international counterparts will aid in your understanding of their goals and needs. Along with superior listening skills, a good communicator also needs the courage and wisdom to know when to ask questions, as asking the right questions can save much time and alleviate the potential for cross cultural misunderstandings.
One of the biggest errors that professionals tend to make when communicating cross culturally is caused by language barriers. This problem can be easily avoided by accessing the skills of a trained translator, and concluding daily business meetings with written documentation that is easy to translate and review at a later date to be sure clear communication was achieved. Heather Rome learned through DAI and other experiences that if we teach ourselves to respect the differences of others, our mutual business and personal goals will be more easily reached and successful.
Formerly of DAI, Heather Rome on Maximizing Daily Productivity
Balancing heavy workloads and tight deadlines can have an enormous effect on your mental capabilities, so it is important to take regular breaks to keep yourself at your most productive level.
Resting Your Eyes
If you spend a lot of time in front of the computer, you may find that you start suffering from headaches, blurred vision and other issues associated with sitting still and staring at a screen. To combat this, give your eyes a short break every couple of hours. Exercise your eye muscles by looking at an object in the distance as well as moving them from side to side. It is best if you are able to take a few minutes to escape the glow of the monitor.
Improved Concentration
Being able to focus on a task is important, but dedicating all of your mental faculties to one challenge for an extended period of time may lead to fatigue. Stepping away from work for a few minutes gives your brain the chance to replenish itself, and allows you to approach the work again feeling refreshed.
Relieving Stress
While a lot of people cope well under a certain amount of stress, too much on a constant basis can cause a variety of issues. If you find yourself feeling overburdened, try taking in a couple of minutes of fresh air. This will allow you to clear your mind and organize the tasks that you need to complete, resulting in stress reduction.
Eating Right
Taking a break to eat when at work is important for physical health and productivity, so be sure to enjoy your lunch break away from your desk and workload. If possible, seize the opportunity to step outside for some fresh air.
Heather Rome is an experienced international businesswoman who has worked for global corporations such as Development Alternatives, Inc. (DAI).
Heather Rome, formerly of DAI - Adjusting to Different Time Zones
During her time with DAI, Heather Rome worked in a number of different countries. This has made her an experienced traveler, particularly when it comes to common issues like adjusting to new time zones. By following these tips you will be able to minimize the effects of jet lag in much the same way that she does.
Drink Water
Dehydration can make it even more difficult for your body to adjust when you enter a new time zone, so try to keep yourself hydrated at all times. By keeping a bottle of water handy, you will be able to take regular sips of water to ensure your body is in the best possible condition.
Change the Time
Don't wait until you arrive at your destination to change the time on your watch. Instead, do so as soon as you get on the plane. While this won't have an effect on you physically, it will allow you to mentally prepare yourself for the time change so that you step off the plane understanding exactly where you stand.
Altering Sleep Patterns
While this is something that may not always be possible, it is worth trying to alter your sleep patterns before you take your journey. Try going to bed a little later, or waking up a little earlier, over the course of the week before your travels.
Eat like you're there
Adjusting your eating schedule plays a large part in adapting to new time zones, as it ensures that your body receives nourishment at the times it would expect in the new time zone.
Heather Rome DAI has worked for several international businesses, including Development Alternatives, Inc. (DAI). She has international business experience across several time zones.
Girl Scouts of America
Heather Rome, formerly of Development Alternatives Inc. (DAI), has a number of professional associations and affiliations. As a Gold Award recipient, one of those associations is Heather Rome Development Alternatives Inc Lifetime Membership with the Girl Scouts of America.

Today, the Girl Scouts of America has more than 2.8 million members.
A Girl Scout takes part in a number of different activities that may include, but are not limited to: community service, social awareness, environmental protection, camping, and leadership development. There are six different levels within the Girl Scout organization; they are:
- Daises
- Brownies
- Juniors
- Cadettes
- Seniors and,

Girl Scouts of all levels are taught the Girl Scout Promise and the Girl Scout Law. The promise outlines how Scouts should act towards each other and other people, and the Girl Scout Law outlines the proper way to act towards each other and the world. The highest award attainable is the Girl Scout Gold Award. It is equivalent to the Boy Scout Eagle Scout Award.
Once you enter the working world, you will hear quite often that it is essential for you to be a professional. But what does it really mean to be a professional? Well, take Heather Rome as an example; she has set herself apart in her industry as being a diligent, hardworking international professional. She has experience working internationally with Development Alternatives, Inc. (DAI) on various projects that focused on development, operations, and management. Looking at Rome's accomplishments, we can surmise that she made use of her attributes listed below:

Exhibit Competency
Professionals like Heather Rome get the job done. They are reliable, approachable, and excellent time managers. They also manage expectations and develop alternative solutions to unexpected challenges.
Exhibit Integrity
Professionals demonstrate integrity. With integrity, you can be counted on and trusted by your boss and co-workers. This becomes very important in the work sphere, as people want to know that they can work comfortably knowing other members on the team are trustworthy.
Exhibiting these characteristics will put you ahead of the game when it comes to exercising professionalism. Practice them in everyday life so that you will become a pro and can work with ease when called upon to do so.
Designing an Ergonomic Office
The general objectives of creating an ergonomic workplace are to eliminate static or awkward posture and repetitive motion. Some ergonomic factors that all workplaces should adopt to avoid chronic discomfort and injury include avoiding poor access to workspace, inadequate clearance, and excessive reach. Depending on the kind of workplace, your ergonomic improvements may include different requirements. The objectives of designing a more ergonomic workplace are to enhance human abilities, overcome natural human limitations, and foster user acceptance. There are many technical improvements to equipment, software design, workstation design, and personnel training that will improve the overall comfort and ergonomic support of employees.
Some of the factors you have to consider when designing your workplace to be more ergonomically effective are chair height for those sitting at desks, desk height, seat material, armrests, and even the height of the work desk so that employees aren't leaning over their desks and creating back pain. Some workplaces have checklists that consider all factors of an ergonomic workplace. For specific guidelines for how to build a smarter office, check out the research that many colleges around the country have compiled over the years as they find new ways to improve employee comfort and productivity.
Heather Rome, of Development Alternatives, Inc. (DAI) has a successful career in international business and supports ergonomic office spaces.
How to Pack Your Office Well for a Move
Your company's operations are moving elsewhere. You have a new opportunity in a different place; maybe even a different city, country, or region, and you have to move your materials and equipment quickly and efficiently to avoid losing too much productivity and time during the move. Moving is never easy, even if you have hired help, but it becomes easier the sooner you can start setting things aside to pack before the actual moving day. Organization is the key to moving that most people don't think about. Organizing an office is never an easy task in and of itself, but the better you can organize your company materials, the less total time you'll have to spend moving and unpacking your entire operation somewhere else.
It's always a wise investment to hire professional office organizers, packers, and movers. When you're working with these professionals, you can make their job easier, and more effective for you, by organizing what you can and having a plan for where everything will go. Some office managers prefer to draw out their plans to include every detail. Use your own methodology to create your best plan to present to the movers, organizers, and packers when they come to help you.
Heather Rome Development Alternatives Inc, has moved several times over her career, and traveled to many different markets around the world causing her to move and organize materials many times.
The Advantages of Packing Light
It is easy to get somewhat carried away when packing for an extensive international trip, and many travelers tend to find themselves hauling around heavy and burdensome bags that not only limit mobility during the journey, but also lead to increased costs at the airport and beyond. Knowing how to pack light is often one of the most important skills for the traveler, as limiting your luggage to only the basic essentials can do wonders in terms of saving time, money and energy throughout an international excursion.
Several reasons for packing lightly include:
Avoiding Check-in Lines
By packing only what you need in your carry-on luggage, you are able to bypass the check-in lines at the airport airline counter and go directly to your flight gate. This is particularly handy if you happen to be running a little late for your flight.
Avoiding Baggage Claim
Without the burden of checked luggage, there is no need to wait at baggage claim for retrieval, affording you the opportunity to proceed towards your next destination as soon as you deplane.
Less Bulk, More Mobility
Lighter luggage gives you the opportunity to travel faster, as you have eliminated much of the clutter and bulk that slows down many travelers. Transferring luggage from the airport to the cab, the cab to the hotel, etc., is also much easier when the load is significantly lighter.
Heather Rome Development Alternatives Inc, is an experienced international businesswoman who has worked for global corporations such as Development Alternatives, Inc. (DAI), and recommends packing and traveling light during your next international adventure.

1. Heather Rome, Former Employee Of DAI - Tips for Learning a New Language
During her time working with DAI, Heather Rome implemented and experienced multiple language skills and saw how important they are in creating cross-cultural relationships. Here are some tips for people who are taking their first steps into the world of bilingualism.
Find Motivation
As with many things in life, motivation is the key to success. Find a reason for learning the language and have an end goal in mind. Perhaps plan a vacation to a country that speaks your language of study.
Learning a language is one of those things that is best accomplished by "doing." As such, you should seize any available opportunity to converse with people in the language that you are learning. Be sure to practice listening as well as speaking to pick up on vocal inflections and to learn new terms.
Have Fun
Learning a new language should not be a chore, so try to think of ways to make it fun. Consider writing songs or creating small comic strips using the language to break the monotony of simply reading and memorizing.
Don't Worry
One of the biggest barriers that people encounter when learning a new language is that they are worried they will look foolish. Instead of focusing on the worry, just dive right in and keep plugging away. You will only get better as you practice.

Heather Rome, Formerly of DAI - The Benefits of Ergonomics in the Workplace
Ergonomics is the notion that both employee productivity and output can be more effectively maximized through the creation of a more comfortable and healthy work environment. An ergonomically correct workstation eliminates discomfort for the office worker, improves one's ability to be more effective and efficient, and makes for a more productive employee to better contribute to team goals. Ergonomics in the workplace can also contribute to more fit and healthy employees. Below are some noted benefits.
Increased Productivity
Studies show that many musculoskeletal disorders stem from poor work space conditions. Ergonomic design reduces discomfort and contributes to employee health. By ensuring the weight of the employees' arms are supported by a proper chair, one can avoid muscular strain in areas of the shoulders and neck. Decreased levels of exertion combined with increased levels of comfort enable employees to focus on the task at hand rather than a constant need to compensate for a painful workspace.
Healthy employees are the most valuable assets a company can have. Creating well-designed workspaces that encourage better posture will help to maintain overall employee health as well reduce issues related to muscle strain and fatigue. Ergonomic workspaces also help employees avoid slouching, as slouching places more pressure on the vertebrae and discs in the back and can lead to unnecessary pain and discomfort.
Increased comfort
Ergonomics endorses proper height placement of the computer monitor to avoid unnecessary turning of the head and neck, and creates an overall more comfortable sitting position. Individuals should do their best to ensure that the monitor is at eye level and the keyboard is directly in front of them.
Heather Rome DAI, formerly of Development Alternatives, Inc. (DAI), is an experienced and knowledgeable professional who understands the numerous benefits of an ergonomic workplace.
Heather Rome, Previously of Development Alternatives Inc. (DAI) - Ergonomics and Seating
Heather Rome has worked as a business professional for more than a decade, including with Development Alternatives Inc. (DAI). Experienced professionals like Rome often spend much of their time at their desk and, as a result, their sitting – or standing – arrangements get a lot of attention. Ergonomic specialists, known as ergonomists, study the human body and how to make the workplace physiologically safer.
The average employee spends more time in front of a desk than asleep, and as a result, the office seating or standing arrangement is integral to employee health. Sitting for too long, even in the best of chairs, has been shown to increase the risk for varied health issues such as back problems, muscle degeneration and more. However, standing at all times is not the answer as standing for too long can cause blood pooling in the feet, spinal muscle strain, varicose veins or even hardening of the arteries known as atherosclerosis.
It might seem as though business professionals like Heather Rome, who on a daily basis may spend multiple hours sitting at desk, have minimal options. Experts like former NASA Life Sciences Director Dr. Joan Vernikos disagree, though. Standing up at least 30 times throughout an eight-hour workday has been shown to dramatically reduce the detriments of sitting when paired with an ergonomically-sound office chair. Alternately, professionals can switch between sitting and standing in 30-minute increments to get the best of both worlds.
More and more companies and professionals like Heather Rome, previously of DAI, are aware of the benefits of adjustable sitting/standing desks combined and with high-quality chairs. This is perhaps the most economically-sound option currently available for daily usage, but ergonomists hope to design better and healthier options for the future.
Heather Rome, Previously of Development Alternatives Inc. (DAI) - MBA
Heather Rome is an executive leader with more than ten years of experience, including several years with Development Alternatives, Inc. (DAI). To complement her stellar professional record of accomplishment, Rome also holds several academic degrees, including an MBA.
When working towards earning an MBA you will first be evaluated through the university's application process. This process will review your academic record and require you to provide transcripts from every institution attended. When preparing your resume to accompany your application, remember to include your professional responsibilities, accomplishments, and relevant expertise.
You will also need to take the graduate management admission test (GMAT), and universities will require you to write an essay demonstrating your communication skills, career goals, and leadership experience. Lastly, you will need to identify a manager who can fully endorse your professional performance and growth potential in the requisite letter of recommendation.
Most MBA programs have a core curriculum, with subjects such as accounting, economics, marketing, and operations. There are also usually elective courses available so students can follow their own personal or professional interests. For example, if you have aspirations to engage in international business, look for a global MBA program, and choose a school that allows for global experiences.
One of the best experiences you could have is an opportunity to work directly with global organizations. Expect to learn about their history, challenges and future goals. You may even have the opportunity to travel abroad to help develop business solutions and gain experience working in an international environment.
Heather Rome DAI is an international professional who has worked with several international organizations, including DAI, in a variety of management roles and holds an MBA from a top tier business school.
Heather Rome, Previously of Development Alternatives Inc. (DAI) - Benefits of Learning Languages
Heather Rome traveled professionally for Development Alternatives Inc (DAI) and is fluent in both Spanish and English. With more than 7,000 languages worldwide, learning a second language offers multiple benefits. Some of the benefits you receive include:
- Improved career outlook. Modern businesses are globally-focused, and studies have found that companies are more likely to pay bilingual employees a higher salary. Searching for jobs as a bilingual applicant is often much more fruitful, especially if you look for companies that currently have or plan to expand their operations internationally.
- Increased brain health. Medical studies have found that people who learn at least one different language have healthier brains, better memories and a lower risk for dementia and Alzheimer's disease than those who do not.
- Travel opportunities. Learning a language opens doors for travel and leisure. If you know the language of the country that you wish to visit, you can more easily conduct business. Speaking the language can also contribute to a more enjoyable experience, and pave the way for opportunities to more readily converse with acquaintances and learn unique insights about local sites and adventures.
- Self-accomplishment. Learning a new language is an achievement that many will respect and admire. It is a useful tool with the benefits of lifelong application. Additionally, once you have accomplished learning a second language, you may choose to learn a third or fourth language.
Heather Rome enjoyed her travel experiences with Development Alternatives, Inc (DAI) and applies her bilingual skills in both professional and personal settings whenever possible.
Heather Rome, Previously of Development Alternatives Inc. (DAI): Travel Destinations in the United States
Heather Rome is an international businesswoman who previously worked for Development Alternatives Inc. (DAI). She has traveled around the globe, to almost every continent, but has also experienced travels within her home country. Whether or not you are from the United States, consider some or all of the following destinations for your U.S. travels:
Maui, Hawaii – Maui, Hawaii, is a mid-sized Hawaiian island with impressive wildlife, remote beaches, snorkeling tours, coastal golfing and fresh seafood. Maui is the most common tourist destination in Hawaii and those who have been to all of the state's islands often say that it is also the most relaxing.
Washington, D.C. – Washington, D.C. is the nation's capital and has been described as a city with both southern efficiency and northern charm. Visiting Washington, D.C. will allow you to see historical monuments, take government tours, view world-famous museums and wrap up your days with unique restaurants, events, or theater.
San Francisco, California – San Francisco is located near the Pacific Ocean in northern California and is often confused with the state capital of Sacramento. To reach the peninsula of San Francisco one may cross the infamous Golden Gate Bridge. The city is also known for its steep hills, cable car transportation, and great eats.
There are, of course, gems worth visiting in each of the fifty states. Miami, Denver, Cape Cod, Chicago, the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Scottsdale and Seattle, for example, are all spots with dozens of sights awaiting each new traveler. When Heather Rome DAI traveled with DAI, much of her work was global, but she has also enjoyed travel to several locations throughout the United States.
On Thoughts Regarding Corporate Social Responsibility, Erstwhile DAI Project Director of Operations, Professional Heather Rome
Working in multiple industries and alongside industry professionals including Development Alternatives Incorporated (DAI), Heather Rome has been introduced to many different businesses types, from the small scale mom and pop style establishments to the largest retailers and conglomerates in the world. During her professional tenure, she has seen the importance of corporate social responsibility, and its possible role in all endeavors across the globe. In its most basic form, corporate social responsibility is the term given to the practice of social contribution. Not only is this action beneficial to the services and people who are receiving the support, but also to the corporate institution giving the support.
Consider the world of entertainment as an example. When high status celebrities donate their time and money to philanthropic endeavors, they are better recognized and earn greater respect. This same philosophy rings true for corporations. Though offering unique deals or funny commercial advertisements may earn them occasional business, it is their ability and willingness to give back to the community at large that earns them lifelong customers.
There are many ways an institution can realize corporate social responsibility. They can choose to focus on environmental efforts, such as streamlining their productions to leave a smaller carbon footprint or by overhauling their existing procedures to be more sustainable. Former DAI project director Heather Rome knows that any business could choose to donate a portion of their collective time or expertise to local and national establishments, and become a more widely known and esteemed organization in the process.
Heather Rome, Formerly of DAI - Healthy Office Snack Ideas
Heather Rome, formerly of DAI (Development Alternatives Inc.), is a wellness-focused international professional who knows that maintaining healthy habits allows her to perform better in her career. Professionals like Heather Rome sometimes make their advancement in companies like DAI look effortless, but this is often because they tend to their well-being away from work.
Sleep is one of the most important elements of maintaining personal wellness, and sleeping more can dramatically improve your professional performance. Below are just some of the many ways that more shuteye on a daily basis can help you do better on the job:
- Increased Creativity – Sleeping more can increase your creativity, allowing you to make better, more innovative contributions in the workplace. A daily sleeping routine allows your mind to consolidate memories and to reorganize your thoughts, which might be part of the reason that it increases your creative potential. People who sleep more often demonstrate stronger emotional connections to their careers and hobbies, which could be yet another contributing factor.
- Less Stress – Sleep is often closely linked to the amount of stress that a person experiences, and both lack of sleep and elevated stress may adversely impact a person's cardiovascular health. Sleeping more can statistically reduce how much stress people feel, even if nothing else in their lives changes. This is, in part, because your body has better control over your blood pressure when you sleep more. In addition, sleeping more on a daily basis might improve cholesterol levels, further lowering your risk of cardiovascular complications.
- Improved Focus – A lack of sleep can result in ADHD-like symptoms in those who are prone to hyperactivity. Though this is most commonly seen in children, adults who are inclined to hyperactive behavior often develop symptoms that mirror ADHD if they are not getting enough daily sleep. This can cause you to forget to complete tasks and to act impulsively in situations that you would otherwise think through. If you are not prone to hyperactivity, a lack of a daily sleep routine can impair your concentration by making you too sleepy to keep your mind focused on one thing.
- Better Memory – Busy professionals often assume that they do not accomplish anything during sleep, but nothing could be further from the truth. When you sleep, your brain strengthens your memories, often reorganizing them, and it reviews skills you learned in life. This is known as consolidating, and without proper consolidation time, you can become forgetful of things that you have recently learned. Though sleep consolidation isn't fully understood, studies have shown that those learning a language or athletic skill perform better after a full night's sleep.
Heather Rome DAI, formerly of DAI, and professionals like her, do not treat daily sleep routines as optional, but instead as a mandatory requirement for performing well in their careers. Take a page from these professionals and you might see improvements in all areas of your life.
Heather Rome, Formerly of DAI - Communicating with Skill
Heather Rome, formerly of DAI (Development Alternatives Inc.), is an experienced international business professional who has held many respected roles throughout her career. One of Heather Rome's most valued skills is her ability to apply diplomacy and clear communication regarding functions within companies like DAI. Communicating with tact is a useful skill for all business professionals to master, as it allows you to navigate the working world with greater ease and to build a more positive reputation.
Though not everyone is a master of communicating with tact, almost anyone can start learning by applying tactics like the ones below.
Give the Benefit of the Doubt – When you give others the benefit of the doubt, you are showing them that you trust them to be sensible. When someone reacts outrageously or makes a seemingly-insensitive generalization, consider what past situations they may have experienced to cause such a negative reaction. Often, people who have had painful or frightening experiences in the past initially react in a defensive manner to unrelated stressful situations.
- Use "I" Statements – When you are speaking with someone, take responsibility for how you feel. Instead of, for example, telling someone "you made it seem like you do not care about xyz," use an "I" statement and say "I felt like you might not care about xyz when you did/said that." These "I" statements are less likely to sound confrontational and are more likely to make sure that your message is clearly communicated.
- Cushion Your Opinions – If you are in a confrontation with someone and you are going to present an opposing opinion, use a cushion to make it sound less aggressive. Cushions are statements that let the person know that you are listening. For example, starting a discussion over different methods with "I appreciate your view on the approach, but I feel that…" is less confrontational than "You seem to think your approach is the right one, but I feel that…"
- Use Evidence – Enter a discussion based on facts and supported by evidence. Also, take your time to reflect upon a situation before approaching a person to talk about it. Ask yourself what you think of the situation, why you think what you do and what evidence of your point's validity is available. This formula allows you to approach a conversation with statements like "For example," "This demonstrates that," and "As a result, I think that," all of which are diplomatic, professional, and well-formed.
Heather Rome DAI has worked in many positions with companies such as DAI and, in her time, she has developed personal methods of applying effective communication skills to her business interactions. As you implement these skills, you too will become a more effective communicator.
Heather Rome, Formerly of DAI - Leading a Balanced Life
Heather Rome, previously of DAI (Development Alternatives Inc.), leads a busy-yet-balanced life as an international professional. In her decades of academic and professional experience, Heather Rome has managed a wide variety of duties for companies like DAI, and in doing so, has strived to keep her life well-balanced. In this busy world, leading a balanced life may seem difficult to manage, but if you apply approaches like those below, you can simplify the process.
View Balance as a Way of Life – Like a healthy diet, balance is not something that you do for a month; it is something that you must maintain on a daily basis. Instead of treating balance as an act, treat it as a way of life. Once you decide to invest in the effort of maintaining balance, the benefits can be enormous.
Prioritize Your Life – When you're balancing your life, consider your priorities. You only have so much daily time to put toward your career, hobbies, loved ones and fitness. Decide what is most important and eliminate what is not. For example, spending an extra ten minutes of quality time with family or friends is often more valuable than watching television.
Use Short- and Long-Term Goals – Achieving goals will give you motivation to continue working toward balance. Set both short- and long-term goals so that you can achieve daily feelings of motivation and avoid feeling overwhelmed by too many or too big of steps.
Heather Rome DAI, previously of DAI, finds balance in her life with methods like the ones listed above. As a result, she is able to find time for travel, reading, and other personal hobbies in addition to professional advancement.
Heather Rome, Formerly of DAI, and Better Cross-Cultural Communication
Cross-cultural communication skills are a trait that former DAI professional Heather Rome uses often. As the ability to communicate digitally becomes even more mainstream, it appears the world is beginning to shrink. This is especially the case in international business, where it is necessary for business professionals to communicate from different countries. Effective cross-cultural communication is a learned skilled that requires practice. The following hints may help others to communicate better with people of different cultures.
- Communication between different cultures is not the only area where the digital world can struggle. Even within the same country, many things can be lost when relying on electronic communication. It can be difficult to discern a person's tone or mood from an email, for example. Due to this inherent flaw in the communication system, the methods used to ease cross-cultural communication can also help to ease communication between people within the same culture.
- Cross-Cultural communication is often less hampered by a difference in native language skills and more likely challenged by diverse cultural norms and methods. For example, communication between an English speaking person in London and an English speaking person in New York must take into consideration cultural communication styles such as direct or indirect statements, intonations, and dialects. Understanding and respecting cultural differences may very well be the first step to business success. By acknowledging that the individuals in contact are from different cultural or regional backgrounds with varying positions, the communication chain can be established more easily. It is also good practice to ensure clear communication by readily clarifying points of confusion and following up with written summaries.
- Professionals who know in advance that they will be communicating with one or more specific cultures for their business dealings should make the effort to learn about their colleague's communication styles in advance. Taking this initiative will make the entire process work more smoothly. It may also be readily apparent, and appreciated, that an effort that was made to learn more about the recipient's culture of communication. This act of goodwill may also help to further establish a more positive and prosperous working relationship based on a greater level of shared respect and trust.
- Even the smallest things can make a big difference in earning the respect or disapproval of another professional. Basic things such as methods or greeting vary from country to country. In the United States, it is generally common to shake hands upon meeting a new person face to face, yet in Japan, many business executives and industry leaders do not shake hands as a greeting. In France, it is not uncommon to greet another with a kiss, even in a corporate setting. Learning what is culturally appropriate and what is not before meeting can be the key to avoid inadvertently giving offense.
- The overall best way to establish and maintain good cross-cultural communication is to keep an open mind and remain accepting of other people's cultural norms. Showing courtesy to all persons involved will make everything more professional. Heather Rome DAI has had many years to practice these skills with DAI and beyond.
Heather Rome, Formerly of DAI, and Asian Business Etiquette
Throughout her lengthy international career with Development Alternatives Inc. (DAI) and beyond, professional Heather Rome has had the opportunity to conduct business in Asia on multiple occasions. Her short-term assignments in the continent have taught her that business dealings in China, for example, require a specific set of etiquette standards. For international business professionals who plan to work in China, the following facts should be understood.
- When dressing for a business meeting in China, staying conservative is the key to not offending others. A person does not have to always wear formal attire, but business professional clothing is suggested. Women should refrain from showing too much skin, especially on the arms and legs. Men will find better acceptance if they wear business suits in dark colors.
- There are many strict observances in China related to the business realm. However, Chinese professionals are aware of their cultural protocols and do not expect consummate perfection from outsiders. However, international business professionals who respect these customs and make an effort to implement them, even if they make a mistake, are often better received by the business community.
- Personal relationships are important in the Chinese business culture. For someone who has never had business dealings in the country, being introduced through a mutual third party is very helpful. This provides the new business colleague a reference point via someone they already personally trust.
- Lastly, Asian business practices are very fond of timely correspondence. To maintain a good working relationship with Asian businesses, make sure to correspond with them regularly. This level of cultural awareness and respect implemented during Heather Rome's travels with DAI and beyond contributed to greater business success throughout Asia
Former DAI Businesswoman Heather Rome Promotes Office Greenery
Previous Development Alternatives Inc. (DAI) professional, Heather Rome DAI , has found that office greenery has many unrealized health benefits. As a member of the corporate world who deals with international business, she understands the need for an office space that encourages both productivity and good health. Here is why bringing a few plants into the office is a good idea.
- Plants are natural air filters. As they use carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, they produce oxygen that is vital to human life. The air quality in an office with plants is purer than an office without plants. This also means that plants can reduce the level of pollutants in an office. In buildings with many employees, the level of air pollution and germs circulated through the air could cause health problems, but the more plants in an area, the cleaner the recirculated air will become.
- Plants are a proven stress reliever. Especially in the work environment, stress can run high and affect employees on every level. Studies show that caring for a plant, and even simply having them around to appreciate, lowers stress levels. When stress levels are lowered, a person's productively increases.
- Plants help to create an environment with more humidity. Having more moisture in the air may not seem that important, but higher levels of humidity may decrease the spread of germs such as those associated with the common cold. That moisture also tamps down dust levels. International professional with DAI experience, Heather Rome, likes to have plants in her office.
Heather Rome, Formerly of DAI - Perks of Plants in the Workplace
Heather Rome, previously project manager with DAI (Development Alternatives Inc.), is an international businesswoman with decades of experience. After spending years in various workplaces, most businesspeople begin to notice things that improve the professional environment in general. One such addition often noted by seasoned pros is plant life.
Experienced businesspeople like Heather Rome often keep plants on their desks and around their office, whether working with an international company like DAI or something smaller. This isn't a coincidence. Generally, these professionals consciously or unconsciously notice the perks of keeping plants in the workplace, and they often prioritize them with the same importance of proper ergonomic setups.
If you don't have any green in your workplace, consider bringing in a live plant or two so that you can benefit from perks such as those outlined below:
- Better Air Quality – Live plants have long been used by NASA scientists to improve indoor air quality, but you don't need to be in a space station to reap the benefits. Adding a few live plants to your space can boost office wellness by eliminating VOCs (volatile organic compounds) from the air, reducing eye, lung and skin irritation and increasing overall wellbeing.
- Less Stress – Live plants in an indoor space have been shown to reduce stress, lower blood pressure and decrease heart rate when compared to spaces without plants. Live plants can also speed stress recovery time, which can make working in a busy environment easier to handle. Even a single plant in your office could make it easier to manage stressful days.
- Increased Productivity – Caring for a live plant is a relaxing way to take a scheduled break during the workday, and because it may also reduce stress, it can increase focus. Workplace productivity might also rise as much as twelve-percent with the addition of live plants, according to findings published in the "Journal of Environmental Horticulture."
- Improved Comfort – Many offices have a low interior humidity, often falling below the recommended thirty-percent minimum for comfort. Live plants in a room can increase the humidity by a significant, but not an excessive, amount. Pairing increased interior humidity with stress-reduction and improved air quality, it's no wonder that employees typically feel more comfortable in an office with live plants.
- More Mindfulness – A live plant can improve your mind as well as your body by helping you to maintain positive thoughts throughout the day. Whatever plants represent to you, whether it's an eco-friendly lifestyle or a Zen mindset, having them nearby can be beneficial.
If you work with an international organization like DAI, as Heather Rome DAI did, consider speaking with management about adding live plants to the workplace as a whole, instead of just your personal office space. This will help bring the above mentioned benefits to the entire building, potentially improving the daily professional experience of your peers and, as a bonus, adding to the office's aesthetic appeal.

Heather Rome, Formerly of DAI - Keeping Your Paperwork Organized
Heather Rome is a Project Manager and global businesswoman with years of experience working with Development Alternatives Inc. (DAI) and other international organizations. Working with both large and small companies teaches professionals a number of valuable skills and lessons, and many of them are centered on organization. For example, unorganized paperwork can cause you to miss deadlines, lose important documents and, in worst-case scenarios, lose business opportunities. These issues can be avoided by keeping your paperwork organized.
Organized paperwork systems used by professionals like Heather Rome within companies such as DAI are not effortlessly-created, but they can improve long-term efficiency and success several times over. Start creating your own with steps like those mentioned below:
Design a Simple, Colorful System – A complicated filing system can cause more stress than it eliminates. Design a system that's easy to use and explain to others. A system that can be coded with different colors may further simplify things. If you're feeling creative, a color-coded filing system can even be treated like artwork.
Invest in a Quality Filing Cabinet – A quality filing cabinet will sustain many years of storing heavy loads of paperwork. The drawers will continue to open smoothly and, if you choose wisely, the cabinet will look as stylish as the filing system that it contains.
Designate a Safe Place for Important Documents – Critical documents like those containing PINs, bank account numbers or credit card information should be stored in a safe, easily-accessible place. Whether this is a locked filing cabinet drawer, a small safe or a separate cabinet, make sure that your important documents are organized in a protected container.
Don't Be Too Specific – If you are considering a category that will rarely be used, merge it with another, larger category. This will minimize the number of colors, section names and files that you navigate when you use your filing system.
Use Dedicated Baskets – Businesspeople with an overflowing basket on their desk can benefit from labeled, dedicated bins. For example, dividing a catch-all basket into "To-Do," "To-Pay," "To-Read" and "To-File" sections instantly makes it easier to navigate. Don't forget to make a "To-Shred" or "To-Recycle" bin to ensure that unnecessary papers do not pile up.
Schedule Weekly Filing Time – Set a reminder on your calendar, computer or phone to organize all unfiled papers once per week. This will clean up the inevitable overflow of paperwork and help you keep your office consistently tidy. It is also good practice to do a quick daily overview.
Schedule Regular Check-Ins – Once or twice per year, check in with your filing system and make adjustments based on its functionality. This will help you to fine-tune your paperwork management based on changing environments and projects.
Professionals like Heather Rome DAI who have managed concurrent large projects at companies like DAI and beyond heavily rely upon an organized system. Your personalized paperwork system may only require a few revisions before it resembles those used by such practiced professionals.

Heather Rome, Formerly of DAI - Strategies for Emerging Markets
Heather Rome, formerly of DAI, has experience developing and implementing global market development strategies. In major projects that have global implications, it's often difficult to find the right solutions. In an environment where cultural and religious factors may clash, it is sometimes even more difficult to succeed. Those who do meet with success often possess a clear understanding of local political and social systems, as well as knowledge of what the open market opportunities really entail.
Political and Social Systems
Every country's political system influences its products and capital markets. In China, for example, free trade unions are banned. The social environment is just as crucial. In South Africa, the country's social policies shape the daily marketplace. It's very important to know and understand these political and social factors, as they largely influence the potential strategies needed for successful implementation in emerging markets.
Open Economies
Chief executives often mention the need for open economies, but the reality is that the concept is not that straightforward. India and China are great examples. The former is considered to be a closed market, mostly because the Indian government rarely accepts multinationals into their midst. At the same time, China welcomes foreign investors. The differences may appear to be obvious, but a deeper look reveals how things really stand. The reality is that India is willing to receive Western ideas in line with its economic and democratic principles, whereas Chinese politics place larger limits on the practices of Western economic strategies.
As Heather Rome DAI, formerly of DAI, has experienced, the above factors are important to consider because they shape global markets.

Heather Rome, Formerly of DAI - Photography Tips for Beginners
Heather Rome, formerly of DAI, is an avid amateur photographer who enjoys combining two of her favorite activities; traveling and taking photos. While she doesn't consider herself to be an expert, her work ethic and love for reading allowed her to gain considerable knowledge about the art of photography and helped her to capture some unique moments and places.
Rushing to Buy the Best Equipment
One of the most common mistakes beginners make is buying the most expensive equipment without the knowledge and experience necessary to use them effectively. Photography is not just about picture quality. In fact, most photographers would argue that this factor is not among the most important aspects. Developing an eye for details and gaining experience are much more important, especially in the beginning. It is absolutely possible to take great shots with inexpensive point and shoot cameras.
Using a Tripod
A tripod can be an excellent tool. In addition to the stability it can provide, it also gives you a new perspective. Combine it with the timer function of the camera, and you will be better able to take excellent pictures.
Have Your Camera on You at All Times
Great opportunities often arise when we least expect them, and the same is true about photography. Have your camera on you at all times, and that way you will be able to take advantage of beautiful and unexpected moments that would otherwise be lost forever.
Heather Rome DAI, formerly of DAI, enjoys discovering new places with her camera, and has developed quite a reputation for taking excellent pictures.
Heather Rome - Hobbies That Make People Better at Their Job
As someone who has various hobbies that she enjoys, Heather Rome, formerly of DAI, knows just how important it is to have hobbies that don't always have a direct correlation to one's profession, yet in a profound way can actually make you more successful. Running, traveling, reading and photography are Rome's choices, but there are other activities that can also enhance an individual's personal and professional life.
Many people consider yoga more than a simple exercising routine; they acknowledge it as an activity that can help them both physically and emotionally. The meditative aspects of daily yoga are documented to help people deal with stress, a factor that may influence their work performance.
Helping Others
As a selfless act, volunteering is an activity that can also benefit the benefactor. Those who frequently volunteer are usually more open to discussing important social issues, and they often have a better sense of their community as well as their role in it. Through volunteering they also often learn to become more adept at looking at things from a group or multidimensional point of view, thereby better contributing to the workplace.
Team Sports
Playing team sports introduces various elements that can be advantageous to the work environment. The most obvious angle is the team concept itself, which requires a collaborative effort from individuals, similar to that required in a work environment. Discipline, focus, and strategy planning are a few of the other team sport skills that can easily transfer from field to office.
Heather Rome, formerly of DAI, engages in all of the above activities in turn, and sees how they have benefited her professional career.
Heather Rome, Formerly of DAI - Running Effective Meetings
Heather Rome, formerly of DAI, has seen her fair share of meetings during her professional life, many of which she organizes herself. If you are ever in a position where you have the opportunity to organize a corporate assembly, below are some guidelines.
Have a Clear Objective
It is very important that everybody in a meeting understand the objective, and for that to happen, the meeting must have a clearly defined purpose. Before you invite attendees, ask yourself what you – and the company – wish to accomplish during the meeting. Once you know your desired goal, build an outline around it, and selectively invite the necessary people to make sure the objective is clearly communicated and understood.
Follow an Agenda
Create a detailed agenda and stick to it. It may help if you itemize the steps, and assign a predetermined number of minutes to the different items on your list. This will help to more accurately estimate their duration and respectfully utilize everyone's time. Once the detailed agenda is ready, send it to the people who will be present in the meeting to allow them the opportunity to more efficiently prepare for the meeting.
Don't Let Anybody Steal the Show, So to Speak
Nothing sidetracks a meeting faster than somebody talking too much about something that could be handled in significantly less time. When that happens, it inadvertently leads to one of two things: the meeting will either be longer than anticipated, or you won't be able to cover everything. Either scenario is a bad one, so make sure you avoid the problem and start and finish on time.
Heather Rome, formerly of DAI, has considerable experience orchestrating meetings in many domestic and international locations.
Heather Rome, Formerly of DAI - Characteristics of a Positive Work Environment
As a leader who has had considerable decision-making power while working with international conglomerates, Heather Rome DAI, with experience at DAI and beyond, consistently strives to create a positive impact on work environments. The influencing factors often include the culture of the organization, the physical characteristics of the building, and even the condition of the office equipment, but what ultimately contributes to a company's positive work environment and resulting business success is quite simply the people and their daily interactions with one another.
It's an Open Discussion
It's very important that an employee feels that they can offer their opinion without being shut-down by others. An employee who feels respected and valued knows that their opinion is important, not only because it is beneficial for the company goals, but also because these human interactions are what create good morale.
Giving and Taking
Hierarchy is a part of the workplace environment, yet collaboration is a two-way street. If the employee works well, they earn respect and financial compensation, and in return, they offer their best on a daily basis. Likewise, when the boss is approachable, they earn the respect and diligence of their team. When there is a mutual respect, everything – including the organization – works better and achieves greater goals.
Throughout her career Heather Rome, formerly of DAI, has created work environments where employees and leaders earned mutual respect by creating open communication, and a strong professional bond between all members of the team. In this type of respectful environment, it is much easier to do well on a daily basis and to meet with more overall success.
