It's a Wrap

Hello All Help Wanted Seekers!
I have been remiss in my posts and one of my resolutions is to be more diligent in imparting "pearls of wisdom"...(this comes with the disclaimer..."results may vary...don't try this at work")...and...writing posts are easier than losing weight!  Am I taking the easy way out?
It has been a year of pluses and minuses and if the +'s outweigh the -'s we have it made
Earlier in the year, I introduced you to a "Mensch"....a "Mensch" is a person who is good not because they have to be or want to be....they just are....
My "Mensch" goes out of his way, helping people....he helps those who can't see cross the street, lifts strollers down subway steps, takes food to the homeless who live in the subways....he never asks for anything in return....because he is a "Mensch"
The best gift of all arrived yesterday....a surprise...a letter...and..some Chanukah Gelt....all from my "Mensch"....
I hope your Holidays are filled with joy and health...
Have a sweet New Year (American Style)

Communicate...Communicate.....Communicate....

Hello All Help Wanted Seekers!
Silence can be golden...
However, there's a time and place for everything.
Dear Readers..you know your Yenta is never at a loss for words..but, I still struggle with delivering an "unfavorable" message.
After all, even Yenta's are human...
The point is....the right feedback can change the course of someone's life...communication is part of paying it forward...

Not What's Next...

Hello All Help Wanted Seekers!
It's been way too long since my last post ....in life...it's not always "What's Next"...it's "What's Important"....
Of course it's important to perform well in our work and we strive to be the best we can be to meet the ever changing demands on our time...
Here are  thoughts to consider... when you've had words with your spouse? OR You  find yourself alone on a Saturday night....who do you go to?....the guy in the next office..or your famly and friends....
Put things in perspective..."what's important" is how we develop ourselves while engaging in "what's next"...
Never lose sight of the people you love who take the time to love you back...these are the ties that bind us and give us the bandwidth to adapt to change,....

Have You Given at the Office?

Hello All Help Wanted Seekers!
Sorry for the long delay between posts..I know you all must have missed me!:)
Today, I wanted to chat about a topic near and dear to me...FEEDBACK....how many times has someone said something to you that makes your insides jump up and down...you bite the insides of your cheeks fighting back the urge to "tell them off"...or...you go for an interview and you find yourself in the black hole...known to us all as "the void".
You and you alone have the power to effect change...certainly not for the faint or sensitive..
Once you decide that you are in charge of your own destiny, you can begin...(small steps, dear ones)...to teach others and manage them to your own advantage.
Now, perhaps that didn't come out exactly as I meant it...BUT, that IS the point....feedback can be a scary proposition...you may "get" some feedback you weren't banking on...however, you can't expect a person to change if they don't know "what" to change..
Whether you give feedback at the office or in your personal life....you are standing up for you...
Who else can take better care of you than you?.....well...maybe an Employment Yenta..
