I&#8217;ve felt anxiety when I&#8217;ve seen a deadline looming, as my clients have and most of us have, at one time or another.  We typically panic unnecessarily because we either impose our own curfews on projects, or our deadline has suddenly arrived and we lost track of time because we didn&#8217;t put in the upfront planning.

We&#8217;ve all heard the negative connotations of a brownnoser [this term comes from the notion that a subservient person kisses the backside of the person with whom he is seeking favor].  But aside from fully ingratiating yourself to another, there are times that warrant sticking out and making your presence known to your boss or your top client, going [...]]]></description>

No matter how attractive you find someone you&#8217;re working with, think about getting into this relationship before you fall head over heels with them.  If they are a hunk or bombshell, it&#8217;s possible they may be more used to starting up relationships or have a higher risk tolerance than you.

Sometimes, despite your best work intentions and efforts, you don&#8217;t get to do the work assignments you want to do, or if you do, obstacles seem to stand in the way at every turn, preventing you from doing it the way you feel it should be done.  When not doing it at all  is not an option, you feel [...]]]></description>

If you&#8217;ve ever been to a conference you know the break times are short and it&#8217;s only then you can check your office messages, make phone calls, and meet with others.  At a recent coach conference I shared a room and Internet line with an associate.  This was tricky and caused me to have to get even more strategic with how I [...]]]></description>

Jim sat in his manager’s office about to have his 6-month review.  His boss seemed to have that look on his face.  A look he’d seen before.
