We are at the highest unemployment rate in 26 years and the recovery rate is going to be a long process. Corporations are being leaner and cutting jobs so that no one is duplicating someone else's job. They are outsourcing jobs on the phone so people do more of the work from home, therefore they don't have to have as large office space. This also means they can cut expenses on utilities and equipment. What this means to the common employee who works from home is tax breaks on utilities, phone service, & office(home). More and more we are moving back to the entrepreneur, If you don't have the discipline to work from home get a coach.

People are not always sure of how they come accross in their communication skills. Be aware of the tone of voice, the expression on your face--mouth, eyes, stance, ECT. These are all a part of the way we communicate. We communicate differently with family members then we do with friends, even if we are unaware of it. In a family we tend to be more judgemntal of each other which affects how we communicate. This is often because we learn each others hot buttons and like to push them just because we feel we can often not taking into consideration the affect it may have on one another. Learn to listen to how you communicate with family members and figure out a way to improve your relationships. Sometimes we do this because it's our personality, other times it comes out of perceived jealousy for one another.

Do you haved a mission or purpose for your life? Do you know what it is? As a child we often plan our future, but as adults we let society dictate what we should do. The women's movement in the'70's help open the doors for women in the corporate environment, but they still hit a glass ceiling. Today with the workplace moving back to the small businessman working from home more women have t6heir own business so they are breaking through the glass ceiling. Every business needs to have a written mission statement (business plan) to follow to make their business a success, but we often forget to plan for success in our personal lives. If you don't have a written plan it is hard to think about and plan for your future. Here are some things to think about. While you were in school your teacher planned out the curriculum so you had a goal in place which was toread and study what you were told to. Then in college there was less structure so you have toset you own goals for your education--finding gainful employment after graduation. When you worked a company they wrote your mission for you. When you have your own business you have to know the mission of your company. Think about planning your personal life as well. What direction do you want to go in--business or marriage. A marriage take work by two people to make it successful--having the same goal for your personal life. If one or the other decides to change the goal and they don't discuss it--there is a breakdown in the relationship.

If you are unable to do some of these things yourself use a ghost writer. First go to some website where you can post your project and have people bid on it--Freelance.com ECT.The more articles you submit the higher your ranking becomes--it takes time to build so you are 1-2- or 3 that is how you build name recognition.

How confident are you in your personal abilities? Often our parents will compare us to someone else and find us lacking when it comes to grades in school or athletics in a game. Eventually we automatically compare ourselves to others based on these behaviors. Eventually we begin to see ourselves as a failure because we believe that we don't measure up. How can you enable yourself to break down these barriers and build self confidence in yourself. We will discuss ways to learn to believe in yourself, to overcome negative comments, and to move forward with your life.

We all haveferred listening style that helps us process the information we hear. Today, we take in so much information we need to learn to sift through what we hear and decide what is important. We get our information from the intgernet, the tv, and from conversations with people we talk to.

What does TA have to do with the way we communicate--we live the life others place on us, which may be right for them but not right for you. Today, is the reunion party for 40 years since gr5aduation from HS. If you look at the opportunities for women in the workplace then and the opportunities for women today, it is like night and day. The women of the Baby Boomer generation were part of the women rights movement which has opeed the doors to the opportunities of today.

Back then it was manual typewriters and carbon copies. Today, its computers with software, e-mail instead of snail mail, cell phones-smart phones instead of land lines.
