5 Most Effective Ways to Invest in Your Career: #1

Art by Juergen Schmidt   bhjschmidt@hotmail.com

1. Invest in Your Strengths

Become aware of your natural strengths that allow your skill sets and capabilities to thrive and make the commitment to invest in them. For example, if you are a good negotiator, never assume that your technique doesn’t require fine tuning. Take a negotiations class, enhance your abilities and then put them to work more frequently.

To get your mindset in the right place, try this: the next time you are in a meeting, carefully observe your colleagues. Notice the dynamics in the room – and begin to ask yourself: what are other people doing to invest in the betterment of their careers? The ultimate prize is to find happiness in your career and in your work by fueling your strengths and passion.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving

Thank you to Joanne Brooks, Lynne and John Coster for being loving hosts! Lots of delicious food and drink and friendship.

I took memories of this weekend with me in the form of gifts of chutney, pickles and jellies that my friend Lynne prepared. This summer she will teach me how to make my own!


Headline: Home inspectors to meet national standards

We all know that there are certain topics that are social faux-pas in a party setting. This is one of them. Add this to the subject not to be discussed right along with religion and politics. Everyone has an opinion. Some disappointingly cynical. One bad experience is one too many.

Whatever the point of view: pro / con / ... I think that reputable home inspectors who are serious about their trade and plan to be in business for a long time welcome this development to their industry.

Congratulations: 

Amy and Ben are hard at work on their first investment property. When I saw them on Friday they were removing wall paper and were planning to repaint and then start laying lovely laminate flooring that they selected. They hope to be ready to hand the keys over to a new tenant for the first of November. 

Joanne Brooks who secured a teaching job in Peterbourgh, Ontario. She started after Labour Day and will be there for the school year. You Go, Jo!
