2017 is the Year of the Red Fire Chicken

2017 is the Year of the Red Fire Chicken Delicious recipe at the end of the post As 2016, the Year of the Monkey, departs, we welcome in the Year of the Red Fire Chicken on February 3. In the Chinese Zodiac, the tenth year of the cycle is represented by a rooster, but this year, the stars indicate that the fowl in question is a female. People born in the year of the Rooster tend to be honest, bright, communicative and ambitious. They’re attracted to new things, but often lose interest quickly. I guess that makes them flighty… As I was preparing this post, it occurs to me that there’s a big difference between the male rooster and the female chicken. Confidence (cockiness) is literally named for the male of the species, while the female name (chicken) denotes lack of courage. Actually, “Red Fire Chicken” sounds like a lot of women I have known over the years. They are bright and ambitious. In fact, they may have a burning passion for a cause or a job or a project; they’re on fire in the planning stages of their next big move. But somehow, the move never comes. The timing is wrong. I have to focus on (pick all that apply) my relationship, my kids, this big project, my parents… there’s always a reason this chicken doesn’t cross the road. Another year has passed, and you still haven’t finished the book, changed jobs, or ended a toxic relationship. Does this sound familiar? There’s comfort in the life we know, even if it’s not the life we always wanted. Mary Beth Owen, writing for the online site tinybuddha.com, says eventually, you must ask yourself a question: what do you value more: comfort or growth? Comfort trades experience for security. Comfort allows us to go through life on automatic pilot, not having to think much about where we are or where we’re going.   Being comfortable means it’s easier to say no than to try new ideas or new approaches. After a while, you start to resent anyone who is willing to make a change. You start to secretly enjoy telling her all the reasons her plan or her dream won’t work; be practical, you say.  Be responsible. Be patient. You’ll know when the time is right. But inside, you know that the time will never be right. So how can you develop the courage to be a little more rooster and a little less hen in 2017? Jim Taylor, Ph.D., writes in Psychology Today: “Courage may be the single most important characteristic for changing your life inertia. Making a change requires risk and risk is scary because when you risk, you may fail (of course, the other side of the coin is that only by taking risks can we truly succeed).” Here are some steps to give you courage. Every step into the unknown is a risk. Be aware that you’ll never have all the information you need to be certain. Give yourself permission to make decisions, and don’t give up when they turn out badly. A decision you make with the best information available is not a mistake â€" it’s a risk that didn’t turn out as you’d hoped. The big difference is the story you tell yourself. Learn and keep moving. The worst that can happen probably won’t. Spend some time imagining the worst outcome, and think about what you’d do next. Will you survive? Of course you will. Don’t let the small chance of a terrible outcome outweigh the large probability of an acceptable, good or even great outcome. The odds are in your favor. Focus on the process instead of what happens in the end. What did I do well?   How can I improve?   You can’t control how the world reacts, but you can get better at reaching for what you want. You don’t always have to succeed the first time.   We all get more than one shot at the prize if we have the courage to take another shot. If the Red Fire Chicken is your totem animal, I give you permission to end the relationship. Here’s a great recipe for roasted chicken. A delicious way to end the chicken’s symbolism in your life.

How to Prepare for a Conference - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

How to Prepare for a Conference - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Attending a conference can be overwhelming or very productive. This totally depends on you. If you go there prepared and invest your time and energy, then you can get the most out of it. Below you can find tips to prepare for a conference and get the return of your commitment. Learn the Schedule and the Presenters: Look at the conference schedule and find the presentations that you are interested in. Also, study the speakers and identify the ones that will beneficial for you to meet.

Moreover, don’t forget to mention why they should meet with you and what you can do them for them as well. Present Well: If you are one of the presenters, then, pay attention to the content of your slides. Make your slides entertaining.

Don’t use too much animation in transitions between slides unless you are absolutely sure that all of the animations will work. Remember that simple is always better and less is always more. Also, take every opportunity to connect with your audience.  Look your audience in the eyes. Take Care of Logistical Details: If the conference is in another city, don’t forget to make travel and accommodation arrangements. Don’t leave everything to the last minute. Otherwise, you may come across with unwanted situations such as overbooked flights or hotel rooms. Make yourself familiar with the conference area so you can plan how you are going to make your transfer between the hotel and the conference venue. If the conference is in your home city, then, learn how to get there and how long it takes so you can plan being there on time with your chosen method of transport such as driving, taking a bus or using the metro. Use Social Media: Use social media to join the conversation related to the conference. Use the official conference hashtag when making a post and find others who used this hashtag to connect with them. In this way, you can gain new followers or connect with them using their LinkedIn profiles and grow your network. You can even arrange a social gathering with these people before the conference is over so you can meet face to face. By the way, don’t forget to bring a lot of business cards with you because you will need them during the conference.

Twentysomething Young workers are impatient with good reason

Twentysomething Young workers are impatient with good reason By Ryan Healy I have read that my generation grew up with constant change and amazing new technologies like cell phones and the Internet which caused us to not appreciate patience and experience. I dont buy that. Surely there are a variety of social and cultural factors influencing impatience, but as far as Im concerned, the big reason for all this impatience is one thing: family. My family is the most important part of my life. My brother is my best friend. My parents are wonderful, caring people who raised me right and spent lots of time with me. When I have my own family, I will spend my time on family outings, vacations, baseball practices, piano lessons and everything else that comes with being a responsible father. These things will take a backseat to nothing, including work. I also have a burning desire to be wildly successful in the business world. Typically, to be a huge success you must put more than eighty hours a week into your job. Balancing that with piano practice on Tuesday, a baseball game on Wednesday a dance recital on Friday, and family dinners nearly every night is just not practical. Luckily, I am 23 years old and most likely wont have this family until at least my mid thirties. If you do the math this leaves me with about a decade to become a successful business person. Once the wife and kids come, the career must take a backseat. This is why Im so impatient! The chances of me making millions of dollars in the next decade are slim; Im not naïve enough to think its easy. However, this does not mean I wont give it my best shot. For the next ten years I am going to be as impatient as I can possibly be, because maybe, just maybe, I will become the wildly successful business man that I always knew I could be. Slowly climbing the corporate ladder is actually counter-intuitive to this type of thinking. You start young at work, no spouse, no kids and not much responsibility outside of work. Slowly you get a new title, and with it, more hours. Then you get married and have two paychecks rolling in. Then you become a VP with more responsibility and of course, more hours. After a few years of marriage, you have a kid, you get a promotion, and you work more hours. All of a sudden, your kids are on their own and you were so damn busy working for the past twenty years that you cant even believe where the time went. Well, at least you get that great retirement in Florida, if you make it to 65. Luckily, my father worked for a non-profit and made his schedule fit around my basketball games and my brothers golf matches. Despite her workload, my mother always made time for us as well. They put family before work because they were responsible parents. I will do the same. However, I will do whatever it takes to become successful before that time comes. Best case scenario is I start some type of business and build it for ten years. When its time for work to take a backseat to family, I will be able to hand over the reins to my impatient apprentice and I will only work when I need to. Worst case scenario is I try to start a business, it doesnt work out, and I either go back and get a job that allows me plenty of family time and pays enough for me to support them or I start some type of safe business that will not consume my life. Sure there are plenty of twists and turns my life will take along the way, but I know that nothing is more important then family and working your way up so you can have tons of responsibility and no time when your kids are growing up is idiotic. I would much rather be impatient now and think of my family years as a mini retirement, than miss my childrens childhood chasing an outdated dream of retiring in Florida. There is no better time to be a success than the present, waiting around to gain experience is a waste of time. Impatience is an asset. Ryan Healys blog is Employee Evolution.

Is it Time for a Career Change

Is it Time for a Career Change Are you bored with your recent career??If so, maybe it’s time for a change of path. After waking up dozens of time feeling unmotivated, surely a new environment would cure your longing for a fresh setup.?However, is this really the ideal decision to make? While it may sound good to your ears, jumping from one work to the next certainly needs some contemplation.eval?If you are already on your 3rd job this month, and you are still not contented, something must be really going on. ?At this point, you may feel lost and insecure about your next plan.?Before you say goodbye to your old job, is it time for another career change? Have a look at this article for enlightenment:5 questions you need to ask yourself before your career change:eval1. Do still have passion and purpose?Sometimes, people unknowingly create business ventures or find a job that doesn’t even appeal much to them.?There are many reasons why this occurs. Some from a family passing the business to their forced children a nd others accept jobs out of sheer desperation.?While this is inevitable, staying for good can drain you ultimately. Thus, before you get your resumes ready, ask yourself if the work you are aiming coincides with your purpose and passion in life.2. Do you value your role?How rewarding is your role in the company?eval?If you can’t even put pride in what you are doing, then it’s high time that you find something that does. Your role doesn’t always have to make you feel like you’re doing a chore; it must be something that gives satisfaction and enjoyment as well.3. Do still have room to grow?One way of knowing that your current job is becoming tiring is when you become apathetic of it. The lack of spark and the constant boredom usually means that you are not challenged anymore.?When opportunities to grow run out, it’s time to navigate in another direction.4. Do you love your company?Although you might be in your ideal position, your environment also matters.eval?If the busine ss isn’t making you happy anymore, try to write down all the things you hate about it.?The mere fact that you can write all day about the things that you don’t like in the office is a sure sign that it’s time to move on.5. Do you often feel stressed out and generally tired?Negativity from work can often lead to a stressful ride. It can even make us sick and depleted to the bones.?Having miserable times at the office can even lead to a serious case of depression. If your job gives you more migraines than smiles, find something that doesn’t intimidate you.?The secret is to find balance in what you are doing no matter what the job is, but if this is not happening in your current one, move on.?7Signs that tell you that you need a career change1. When you have apathetic emotionsIf you can’t find something that would make you squirm in excitement, then the business that you are in has no meaning anymore. The dying passion is evident when getting up in the morning is something ti ring and when being late in the office doesn’t affect you any longer.?If the only emotion you get is apathy, your work performance will wilt, and your purpose will fade.2. When you are undervalued by your superiorsYou are an important element in the business, but if you feel like no praises come along, this could eventually hamper your situation in your career. Feeling underappreciated could plummet down your motivation to zero. The lack of value in your potential could cloud your confidence.?Instead, find a job that recognizes what you truly have.3. When you are constantly stagnantevalDo you feel like you could do more in your job? If so, you are in need of growth.?The lack of opportunities can definitely bore you out. When you think that they are not the right people to be with or if you think that a bigger company is what it takes, go for it.4. When you feel like you don’t belongIt is important that you can blend in with the culture of the office. This does not only make you associate with the group smoothly, but this would also mean that you are going to work as a dynamic tight bunch.? Not having this kind of relationship in the office means that you need to find your own kind of people.5. When you are not rewarded sufficientlyBenefits are always present in a company, but if this does not suffice, you should transfer. Having a standard is fine as long as this is a reasonable one.eval?When you think that you are not paid well for the quality of work you’ve given, find one that suits you.6. When you’ve become distrustfulTransparency is essential in any work. Although having roles in the company is unavoidable, not being transparent will only divide and create distrust in the group.?Don’t hold it against yourself if you may feel unable to give your loyalty to your seniors. When everything feels questionable, don’t be afraid to start all over again.7. When you feel like you can’t be yourselfEvery company has a protocol that needs to be followed b y every worker, but being turned into someone you are not is simply wrong. Rules are essential, but giving you an identity crisis is a different issue. You should be able to act, innovate, and think of your own authentic ways.In today’s competitive world, being able to have a job even if it’s not your niche is already considered a blessing for some.It is fine when you can tolerate it, but if this eventually saps all the life in you, it’s high time to let go and find something that would really fit you.

Smartly Negotiating Your Next Role The Offer - Hire Imaging

Smartly Negotiating Your Next Role The Offer - Hire Imaging My last post covered two ways  to smartly negotiate your next role with potential employers.  Out of a six-tip suite, today, I’d like to share the third and fourth   that I regularly share with clients. 3. Voice Vulnerability Sometimes voicing that terms offered could cause personal difficulties can be an effective weapon in negotiations. If you are viewed as a choice candidate, this strategy plays upon the employer’s wish to make you happy. The key is in how you do it. “I’m excited about the position and want to join you, but there would be some hardship to my family because of a few things I will be losing. Is there a chance you could go a bit higher?” Questioning rather than demanding is the difference. Those who negotiate smartly persuade through integrity  and non-threatening questions. They are then armed with information that translates to power. They are also able to buy time, to think, and to avoid putting all their cards on the table. A savvy negotiator will not say “I don’t agree with you because …” That person will instead say something like, “Bob, you make a great point, but I wonder if there is room for another one.” Rather than “That won’t work for me,” they will say, “Bob, could you please share how you feel that would work for me?” Then, that candidate will follow with questions  to clearly convey that the existing proposal is not quite enough. Use questions to lead employers in discovering for themselves the validity of your request. If your questions allow them to explore where their previous offer falls short, they are more likely to change those terms. 4. Don’t Jump On It When you’re offered the job, express thanks, compliment the potential employer firm, and state with conviction that you need a bit of time to digest it. “Bob, I’m really happy you made me an offer. ABC is a terrific company, and the Regional Director position has great potential. I know you can appreciate that I would like some time to give it further consideration. It would not cause any problem, would it, if I were to get back to you on ____?” This is important. Get the offer in writing whenever possible. Ask for seven days to respond. Of course, sometimes this wont be an option. Ask for a few days then; a minimum of one to two. If there are components of the offer that you’re not quite satisfied with, there are some strategies that might work. When you call back, after beginning with one or two positive comments, it’s possible for you to raise the issue of redefining the job. “Bob, with my two sons entering college this year and next, I had planned related financing based on income $15,000 higher than what’s been offered. Would it be possible to take look at the job specifications? I can promise that if you make a minimal extra investment, my performance will yield you a great ROI.  Do you think we could go over it to make some minor tweaks?” You may not wish to redefine the job, of course. Yet, you may want to raise the salary. Here’s where you can use both the above. You can show vulnerability, and then propose that a dollar figure be added to the base. Typically, if that figure is within 15 percent of what you’ve been offered, the employer should not be offended; and will offer you part of it. Naturally, asking for more money is a negative, and should be offset by the positives. “Bob, I’m absolutely thrilled! The opportunity is what I’ve wanted, and it’s a perfect fit with what I do best! There is one issue though. One of the main reasons I was making a change was for financial balance. Can you please add $15,000 to the base? It would go a long way to ease my family’s needs.” In my next post, I’ll show you how reviewing the job responsibilities while conveying a consistent enthusiasm can help you get what you want.
