Helen's Monthly Biz Tip

Has the economy affected your business?

We are not alone in this regard. Even the large corporations are feeling the sting.

We can make a difference in our world.

It comes down to motivation. Some small steps you can take along your journey are below.

• Keep your self-confidence high. Take time each day to reflect back on your successes and how you felt.

• Become involved in outreach programs. Meeting new people creates relationships which enhances our personal lives and businesses.

• Join internet groups (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) Reaching many people in one click, is a quick way of advertising your services.

• Review and update your current programs and profiles. Determine which flyers, brochures, articles increase your business or are not a productive tool. By weeding out or updating these documents creates a new strategy for your business.

Remember times will always change and as we gear ourselves up for the next turn in events, new opportunities will occur.

Operation Employment

Operation Employment

Over 1,500 returning Service Members across the Eastern Seaboard representing all branches of service were deployed to their new assignment at the Fort Dix, NJ military base - "Operation Employment."

Spearheaded by the Garden State Council-SHRM Work Force Readiness team, in collaboration with Tip of the Arrow, chapter volunteers throughout New Jersey and career coaches they all lent support to these dedicated women and men in preparing them for finding a job.

Throughout the afternoon, service members had the opportunity to meet one-on-one for a mini-coaching session with one of the Career Coaches, HR or Recruiting Professionals. They received career guidance, resume content and interviewing skills.

On July 29, 2009, I volunteered my services. Speaking with the different service members gave me a sense of gratitude. I coached them in regards to their perfect resume, interview skills and next steps. Also, typed a resume for one of the service men.

One of the Reservists told me the military provided her with valuable experience she would not have gained anywhere else in the world and was very happy to serve her country. Seeing the enthusiasm in her eyes gave me goose-bumps.

We are all individuals in our own rights either a service member, someone unemployed or a person in a stressful job. Everyone is seeking a job which will provide them with an income and at the same time provide a sense of fulfillment.

The most rewarding gift you can give yourself is to keep searching for that spark which makes your eyes light up.

Good Luck!

Get Off the Diet Merry-Go-Round Party Healthy Eating Tips

Stay Strong During the Food Marathon

Labor Weekend is fast approaching and in the mail today you received an invitation to a BBQ party. You have been dieting and the weight has been disappearing what are you to do?

Stay home, eat nothing or just let yourself go for one day???

Relax, go enjoy yourself and at the same time take care of "YOU."

Following are some little steps you can take to ensure you have fun and at the same time eat healthy:

• Plan, plan and plan before going to the party what you are going to eat. Example: small piece of chicken, large salad with low calorie dressing, one ear of corn and glass of diet soda. Fruit for desert.
  
  Knowing what you are going to eat makes it easier. Making choices at the party gives you too much leeway and most of the time you jump off the healthy eating plan path.
   

• Don't sit by the food. It is too tempting and why suffer.
   

• Talk to people you have not seen in awhile. Socializing, laughing and having fun takes your mind off the food.
   

• After the party, celebrate by doing something nice for yourself. Example: rent a movie, take a bubble bath, put music on and dance around the house, etc... This is the hardest time because we are alone and having experienced a trying situation we want to reward ourselves by eating everything insight. Believe me, food is not going to make you feel better. Try something different this time.

Now it is Your Turn!

Please send me an email at helen@loveyourselfcoaching.net with your party healthy eating tips and I will share them with the Love Yourself – It Matters Community.
