JUMPING WORK-HURDLES by Nan S. Russell - Jul, 2012 It feels great at the end of a workday to know you've made progress on a mounting to-do list, resolved a persistent problem, dealt with a difficult challenge, or accomplished an important objective. Yet, too often we get to the end of a day and haven't felt feelings of satisfaction, accomplishment, or progress at work, at least not as much as we'd like.

Losing a Job is Never Easy: Just Ask Ann Curry by Barbara Safani - Jul, 2012 It pained me to watch Ann Curry’s goodbye on The Today Show today.

Do You Deserve Respect? by Bob Roth - Jun, 2012 Not everyone deserves to be respected. Since your words and actions tell others who you are and what you are, it is your words and actions by which you will be judged. Only those of you who are judged to be worthy of respect can receive it.
