Top Ten Tips to Creating Vibrant Careers
Recently, I had the honor and pleasure of speaking to two different business managment classes at the Fairleigh Dickinson University-Metropolitan Campus in Teaneck, NJ. I was invited by Professor Kent Fairfield whom I had met at one of Institute for Sustainable Enterprise meetings at the FDU-Florham Park campus. This particular Top Ten was written by the students when I asked them what they were taking away from our time together. These were their "gems"...
1. Be open
2. Be yourself
3. Plan
4. Self-disclosure
5. Chase your passion
6. Communicate
7. Be Curious
8. Have clear goals
9. Be optimistic (about the market)
10. Don't stop learning/keep trying new things
Bonus: Have a vision

TLC TIP:
Get a Mini-Makeover or Color Consultation or Colour Energy Assessment
Before
 After
Susan McCue of Color Me Beautiful (Oakland, NJ) hosted a complimentary makeover and cosmetics afternoon at Ana Barron's WaterLeaf Art Studio in Ramsey, NJ which has many products that are earth-friendly, handmade and/or produced by vendors that are fair trade certified. I went in to see Susan wearing just lipstick and left feeling brightened up and happier.
Susan's calm and unassuming approach was so relaxing and delightful. The final result was uplifting. It's amazing what a little TLC (Tender Loving Care) can do! Contact Susan at 201-424-4564 or smimage@comcast.net if you'd like a personal consultation to get your colors done, wardrobe analyzed, makeup consultation or if you're considering hosting a TLC party.
Colour Energy Personality Profile
Have your own Colour Energy Personality Assessment profile done by Verena and learn how using colors effectively can help you clear your chakras, create focus, internal balance, joy, power, and serenity, depending on what you may be missing! Contact Verena for more details. Verena retails Canada's Colour Energy products such as Chakra Energy Blends, Aura Cleanser and the publication, Colour Energy, by Inger Naess.
