• It wasn?t about the

    It wasn?t about the employees, it was about the shareholders. And this was a corporation that put forth a family image in it?s advertising and did so in a clever and humorous way. Their campaign really struck a chord in the everyman. And I was one of them and I went to work for them. But now, I was seeing the company I was working for as a dysfunctional family. And I was becoming the rebellious teenager (figuratively speaking).

    So, I knew it was a matter of time before I?d get the ax. Though normally I would consider myself an optimist, I noticed I was experiencing some pretty heavy mood swings. I could be very depressed to feeling in another moment that the sky was the limit.

    Well, I?ve heard it said before that God provides and even though I don?t consider myself the religious type, it was about that time I read an article that basically said that anger and depression were useful emotions.

    Now, that was a different spin on the subject and I was intrigued.

  • Your perspective on what constitutes

    Your perspective on what constitutes “”urgent”" will also change.

    Here are a few important, but not urgent, activities to put high on your priority list:

    1. Have a regular daily chat.

    Turn off the TV and the cell phone and sit together for a short time, uninterrupted and face-to-face, every day to share your thoughts and feelings. Tell each other the little details as well as the big news. Focusing on each other for as little as fifteen minutes can make a huge difference. You will both feel appreciated and heard.

    2. Spend one evening together each week.

    Plan a specific night each week for your special date. Get a babysitter or trade childcare time with a friend. Once scheduled, treat the commitment as if it were written in stone.

  • There is increased societal pressure on

    There is increased societal pressure on the law enforcement agencies to stop the menace of drunken driving. Drinking and driving, as they say, don?t go together. It is no different in the case of Houston. The good thing about Houston DWI laws is that they have been able to control or reduce the number of fatalities arising out of DWI accidents.

    Steeper fines have been brought into place in Houston for DWI offenses. These steeper fines are debated and then passed as bills in legislatures. Law enforcement agencies are getting tougher with DWI offenders and doing their best to ensure strict adherence to laws by citizens. There are stricter driver responsibility laws in place in Houston now than ever before. You can end up paying through the nose for a DWI conviction. A first time offender could end up paying around $1,000 and a second DWI offense could set you back by $1,500. The charges being cumulative, a convicted driver can end up paying potentially $2,500 in a year.

  • He takes notes.

    He takes notes. He reviews their performance at half time. He re-establishes the tactics that were agreed. He focuses individuals and the team on the task in hand. If there?s one thing that business coaches need to learn from sports coaches is that you have to watch people doing the job. You cannot rely on other people to tell you or on individuals themselves to tell you about how they performed. You have to watch it. Which implies that you have to know what it is you are observing, which in turn means that the performer has to clearly understand what it is you want them to do; how you will be measuring them and how you intend to help them deliver your vision.

  • Due to this whole body approach,

    Due to this whole body approach, the immune system is also stimulated by regularly attending Chair Yoga classes.

    The many movements, bending, and twisting, in a regular Chair Yoga session, stimulate the elimination of toxins, within the body. Every time you bend the waist in one direction or another, the stomach aids in digestion and the lower back is gently stimulated.

    Now, back to cardiovascular benefits – There seems to be a lot of confusion about what is classified as aerobic exercise. One of the definitions for aerobic exercise is: Any exercise that would increase circulatory and respiratory ability. When the heart and lungs have to work harder to keep up with the body’s need for oxygen that is aerobic.

    In fact, gardening and housework are also aerobic exercise that most seniors routinely do. This is not to say that gardening and housework are complete health maintenance systems, but they do burn over 200 calories per hour, for the average person, and meet the aerobic definition.

    Much of this mentality stems from the ?No pain ? No gain? era. Most of the original advocates of this theory are now ?nursing their own wounds? and practicing gentler forms of exercise. After all, none of us are immortal, and the body can only take so much abuse over time.

    May I remind anyone, who is left standing, from the No pain ? No gain era, that walking is also classified as aerobic exercise.

  • A good realtor

    A good realtor will ask the right questions in advance so that
    they can show you homes in the neighborhoods that will best suit
    your family?s needs.

    4. In advance of your home-hunting trip, get a list of the local
    lenders from your realtor. Not only will it be important to have
    a pre-approval letter with you in order to make an offer on a
    home, but using a local lender can be a blessing if there are any
    last minute issues at closing.

    5. When you arrive for your home-hunting trip, use the time to
    also check out daycare facilities, elderly care, after school
    care, or any other special needs you may have.

    6. Bring measurements of your furniture with you during your
    home-hunting trip. It?s highly unlikely that every piece of
    furniture you own will suit your new home, but having the size of
    the major pieces with you will certainly help wean out those that
    will be completely unsuitable.

  • Then the question is–what

    Then the question is–what is the price to be paid. What price you ask! Yes, there is always a price because the cardinal law of economics is–there is no such thing as a free lunch.

    The price paid is lost opportunities and slower long-term economic growth. Downturns, recessions as they are called, have a beneficial purpose. Their purpose is to provide renewed liquidity to the business system. Think of it as the catharsis of the economic system. Recessions cleanse the system of marginal companies and transfer their resources to stronger more productive enterprises. They also force consumers to start saving more to pay-off some of their massive debts they have accumulated during the expansion. This sets the stage for the next upward expansion. Without recessions there would be stagnation.

    Recessions can be painful for most, but a time of great opportunity for some. Downturns provide the opportunities for those clever individuals, who have the wherewithal (the liquidity), to purchase assets on the cheap. These assets are then transferred into more productive hands, and the economy benefits.

    No matter how many rules or laws politicians put in place, the business cycle is here to stay.

  • When you’re done, PowerPoint automatically

    When you’re done, PowerPoint automatically closes and you return to the desktop. If you want to edit the slide show file, you can always open it from PowerPoint by clicking Open on the File menu.

    Look at the audience, not at the slides, whenever possible.

    If using a laser pointer, don?t move it too fast. For example, if circling a number on the slide, do it slowly. Never point the laser at the audience.

    Black out the screen (use ?B? on the keyboard) after the point has been made, to put the focus on you. Press the key again to continue your presentation.

    You can use the shortcut command [Ctrl]P to access the Pen tool during a slide show. Click with your mouse and drag to use the Pen tool to draw during your slide show. To erase everything you’ve drawn, press the E key. To turn off the Pen tool, press [Esc] once.

    MISCELLANEOUS

    Master Slide Set-Up:

    First, go to the “View” menu.

    Pull down the “Master” menu.

    Select the “slide master” menu.

    You may now make changes at this level that meet your presentation needs.

    Preparing the Handout:
