    Packaging Yourself
    I have been fired/let go three times in the past. None of these transitions were easy at the time, but they all aided in my personal development. Now I'm famous and those who fired me are not. I grew, they did not. How did I go from anonymous to world-renowned leader, entrepreneur and packaging expert extraordinaire? Let me show you my method for packaging myself.Promote yourself. The old adage your mother told you about working hard and be good at what you do is a nice idea. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work when no one knows what it is you do. We had a program a couple of years ago and one thing stood out in my mind. That people who were considered for promotion was based upon 60% visibility (being noticed by the powers that be) 20% appearance, 20% performance and hard work. You do the math. Where is the equity unless you promote yourself and are recognized as a performer and hard worke

    How to Work with a Virtual Assistant
    When someone asks me what I do, and I tell them I am a Virtual Assistant, I am bombarded with questions. What is a Virtual Assistant? Who uses a Virtual Assistant? How much do they charge? How can they complete my work without being in my office? How is a Virtual Assistant more beneficial than someone in my office? How do I know that I can trust the hours they charge and that they won’t share my personal information? How do I go about finding a Virtual Assistant that is a “match” for me? These are all legitimate questions that someone considering hiring a Virtual Assistant needs to ask and have the answers to.What is a Virtual Assistant?A Virtual Assistant is a person or company that completes a variety of administrative, web, and computer work virtually. This means that they complete the work from their office and send it to their client via email, web link, postal mail, or
    According to the results of a study presented at the annual conference of the British Psychological Society in April 2005, more than one in eight people admit to being bullied at work, and ganging up against the boss - often a middle manager - is on the increase. But what are ‘bullying behaviours’, and how can you tell if you yourself are being bullied?

    According to the trade union AMICUS in their publication ’Bullying at work: How to tackle it’, the type of workplaces where bullying is more prevalent are those where one or more of the following factors exist:

    • An extremely competitive environment

    • Fear of redundancy or downsizing

    • Fear for one’s position of employment

    • A culture of promoting oneself by putting colleagues down

    • Envy among colleagues

    • An authoritarian style of management and supervision

    • Frequent organisational change and uncertainty

    • Little or no participation in issues affecting the workplace

    • Lack of training

    • De-skilling

    • No respect for others and/or appreciation of their views

    • Poor working relationships in general

    • No clear published and accepted codes of conduct

    • Excessive workloads and demands on people

    • Impossible targets or deadlines

    • No procedures or policies for resolving problems

    Being bullied is an isolating experience. It tends not to be openly discussed in case this increases the risk of further ill-treatment, and because the ‘target’ often feels ashamed to discuss it with colleagues in case their professional credibility is called into question. Even the mildest form of intimidation may be very disturbing, and, as this intensifies over time, the effect on the victim can be severe.

    Early warning signs of being bullied include:

    • ‘This relationship is different to anything I’ve experienced before’

    • ‘I’m persistently got at for no good reason’

    • ‘My work is forever being criticised, even though I know my standards haven’t slipped’

    • ‘I’m beginning to question my own ability’

    • ‘I wonder if all these mistakes are really my own fault’

    Meditation Brings Business Renewal
    As a seeker of solitude in my busy entrepreneurial workday, I use yoga, Pilates, a good old-fashioned run in the park, and anything else I can think of to calm my nerves and keep my head clear and focused. I have worked hard to keep my body fit and my business running smoothly. I have also found that the same principles used in the meditation practiced during yoga can be used to strengthen my business.While meditating during a yoga class several years ago, the instructor told us to feel that every movement is a new beginning. This made me think of my own business, which was just a fledgling startup at the time. In my day to day struggle as an entrepreneur, every project and each new contact could potentially take my business in a new direction. After making this connection, I knew that meditation had a lot to teach me about business. Since then, I’ve learned to apply some of the basic

    It’s not unusual to hear complaints from individuals that their professional competence has been called into question by their colleagues or managers. These attacks might be overt actions such as a public ‘dressing down’ for work errors, or covert behaviour such as circulating rumours or gossip that appear to question an individual’s ability. One difficult area is where this includes ‘non-action’ - for example not giving acknowledgement and/or approval for a good piece of work, or not asking for an opinion from the person who is clearly best qualified to provide that input. These areas are also very difficult for the targets of bullying to raise, as they question their own validity.

    Examples of bullying behaviour

    Bullies will typically:

    • Make life at work constantly difficult for their targets

    • Make unreasonable demands: constantly criticising

    • Insist that their way of carrying out tasks is the only way

    • Shout at victims, publicly, in order to get things done

    • Give instructions and then subsequently change them for no apparent reason

    • Allocate tasks which they know the person is incapable of achieving

    • Refuse to delegate when appropriate

    • Humiliate their targets in front of others

    • Block promotion, refuse to give fair appraisals or refuse to endorse pay increases or bonus awards

    • Exclude the victim from meetings or other legitimate business activities

    • Constantly make attacks on the professionalism or personal qualities of their targets

    Personal attacks

    In addition to attacking a person’s work role, bullying behaviour may also include actions and statements that are intended to undermine them personally, for example where someone has an interest that is easy to ridicule; or by making comments related to physical characteristics such as their height, weight, clothes or hairstyle – all of which are clearly inappropriate in a work environment and can undermine the person’s standing at work.

    Isolation

    Social isolation and its effects should not be underestimated. It is reminiscent of the playground and can be just as miser
