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.   
While a large percentage of companies don&#8217;t have policies [...]]]></description>

This past Sunday I drove to my husband&#8217;s office with him and helped him decorate it in a theme of his choosing for his company&#8217;s Spirit Week &#8211; a time of the year in which the employees of his law firm have some team play time. 
We had fun removing a few extra chairs and creating a whole beach [...]]]></description>

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>

There&#8217;s nothing like a day off to really step back and breathe into your life, appreciating it in all its many facets. 
Today I had breakfast with a new friend and we shared our music passions.  Then I took a long, beach bike ride with my husband, feeling my body work hard, and feeling glad to be exercising it.  When [...]]]></description>

There are times when you have a good idea and suddenly others will turn to you and agree that it&#8217;s good and pat you on the back.  &#8221;Terrific!  Now run with it,&#8221; they seem to be saying.  But maybe that&#8217;s not what you had in mind.  You may have hoped for more support and perhaps more of a team approach.

It&#8217;s hard to even give words to your upset, and you&#8217;re not sure you want to.  It&#8217;s so private and yet the weight of your concerns is so present for you that it feels as if everyone can see something is going on with you anyway.  You get good at answering, &#8220;oh, everything&#8217;s fine,&#8221; when you know [...]]]></description>

You&#8217;ve been rejected.  That&#8217;s right &#8211; turned down, not picked, turned away, let go or left out. 
If you&#8217;re like me and someone tells you something hugely disappointing, you want to yell out, &#8220;That&#8217;s not fair!&#8221;  Afterall, why don&#8217;t they want to play with ME, right?!  You&#8217;re suddenly whisked back to your school days and picking teams [...]]]></description>
