PDP – Personal Development Plan:  Have you ever completed one of these through work or even in your personal life?  A PDP is very beneficial to help give you direction and goals in your professional life.    It assists with management to know where you are at currently and what direction you would like to see […]

Stress:  In the past, a huge stress reliever used to be going away for a winter holiday – to relax on a beach, hang out in the sun, swim, go on local tours, etc.  During Covid, this was not an option, and people had to come up with other options.  In saying that, what are […]

Knowledge is Key?  No, Applied Knowledge is key!  There has always been that saying that knowledge is key…it is only key if you actually utilize that knowledge and put it to use – meaning applying it.  We all learn things – usually every day or couple of days there is something that you didn’t know […]

Life as an Animal  I was asked in a job interview – if I was an animal, what would I be.  Funny this is I had an answer – a specific answer which actually shocked the interviewers.  It is something I have thought about periodically through my life – maybe because I absolutely love animals.  […]

Abbreviations / Acronyms:  Many different companies and industries use abbreviations or acronyms to shorten things.  The trouble with this is sometimes different abbreviations mean different things and people may not always be talking about the same thing depending on what industry or experience they have from their past.  If you are going to use abbreviations […]

Passion:  When you are passionate about what you do; it doesn’t feel like work.  You can put in extra time and effort and you are happy to do so.  Being passionate about what you are doing is a gift.  There are very few people out there that are able to find a job that they […]

Acidic vs Alkaline  This is something I have struggled with over the last five years.  My tell that I am too acidic is heartburn.  If I have heartburn for a few days, my throat actually gets sore.  I used to think that I was getting a cold and would up my vitamin C and then […]

Liability Insurance:  Do you have the right liability insurance for your business?  This is something that really needs to be looked into seriously.  It can be costly but the cost of not having it can cost even more.  Have a look at these websites to see if this is something that might be beneficial for […]

Allow Yourself Time:  I took an extra couple days off recently. Just needed that time to relax and chill.  I think it is important that we know that about ourselves – when we need to allow ourselves to do that.  We tend to have a stigma about allowing ourselves to relax. We think we need […]

Christmas Traditions:  Some people have them, some don’t.  Some don’t celebrate Christmas.  It is interesting how traditions become a part of us.  Sometimes we don’t even like them, but we continue to do them because they are such a part of us.  Whatever your traditions are – I hope that you continue them and teach […]
