5 Easy Ways to Boost Your Boss's Confidence In You:
- Create a simple solution to a problem that's been stressing them. Is there a weekly administrative duty they hate and you easily can take off of their plate?
-
Keep your customers' issues from escalating to your manager. Try to handle escalated issues by yourself before running to your boss for suggestions.
-
Manage up. There should be no surprises. Your boss should never have to hear about an issue you have by someone else. Keep them in the loop.
-
Come to them with a solution, first. We all have problems, but how many of us have actually considered how to fix them first. You should try it. It works!

The H.E.E.T. Column:
Women Ask Questions & Men Answer
Dear HEET,
I've been dating my man for a little over a year. I know that he loves me and that we are in a serious relationship. He's a good man and I'm really happy to be with him. I even know that the moment that he asks me to marry him that I'll say yes. I'm ready for that and I'm thinking that he is too. I guess I want to know how do men prepare themselves for marriage? How do they know when they are ready to marry the woman they are dating? What are some signs?

Greetings!
Your Healthy Relationship Activist | Our August issue of Lifestyle Dating & Relationship Tips Newsletter is better than ever! This month we are really focusing on Healthy Relationships & the Workplace. What better combination, right? Or, is this actually an oxymoron? Should we really care about relationships in the workplace? Of course! We are not just speaking of those romantic ones, but overall--how you relate to your co-worker, boss, subordinate, or someone on a project team reflects the type of relationship you have with them. So, why not make it a healthy one!
Regardless of how much we'd like to admit it, that fine line between work-life and personal-life is growing thinner and thinner. We are almost to the point where everything that takes place in our personal lives also takes place in the workplace environment: friendships, relationships, conflict, development/training, education, social acceptance and much, much more.
With 50 hours in a typical work week equating to 2600 hours a year, it's no wonder that more and more people aren't marrying their co-workers or at least trying to befriend them!
This newsletter includes tips, articles, and suggestions to strengthen different workplace relationships so that you can find an ultimate peace in the place you frequent most--your workplace! Enjoy!
Sincerely, Jennifer Tardy, PHR

Relationships 101: Why Does My Co-Worker Hate Me? |
Managing Conflict |
Have you been tasked to work with someone who makes your life miserable although you've done absolutely nothing wrong? Do you come to work in a good mood, but being in the presence of this one co-worker seems to drain all of your energy, immediately? Well this section is JUST for you. Here's one surprising insight and a whole lot of tips to mediate this drama so that you can get back to working together in no time.
Surprising Insight: How your co-worker treats you (i.e. speaks to you, acts around you, behaves toward you) has more to do with them that it has ever had to do with you. Their attitude and behavior toward you has more to do with their mood, their life experience, their feelings about themselves, and so many other internal aspects than it has ever had to do with you. They just don't realize it yet.

Managing Up: How to Build a Trusting Relationship with Your Manager |
Credit: Getty Image | Q: I've been fairly successful in my career. I have great rapport with the people who work for me and almost always get along well and work well with my peers. But more than once I have been told that I need to learn how to "manage up." What, exactly, does that mean?
A. When someone tells you that you need to "manage up," what he or she is really saying is that you need to stretch yourself. You need to go above and beyond the tasks assigned to you so that you can enhance your manager's work, says Rosanne Badowski, co-author of "Managing Up: How to Forge an Effective Relationship With Those Above You."
"Doing what you can to make your manager's job easier will not only help them do their job, but you will be considered a valuable asset to your manager and to your organization," she says. "You want to be described as indispensable."

Work & Romance: Dating Rules - - In the Workplace |

Rob McElhenney and Kaitlin Olson of the hysterical comedy, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia did it. Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart of the groundbreaking drama, Twilight did it too. Even Sanaa Lathan and Omar Epps did it in Love & Basketball in 2000. What did they do? What do all of these celebs have in common? One thing; they all dated-on the job!
With all of the hours needed to pull together a successful film or comedy series, it's no wonder celebs are finding love in the arms of co-stars. It's no wonder that people are finding love in the places they spend most of their time-at work. What about those of us who aren't celebrities? What about the rest of us. We, too, are working longer and longer hours than ever before, so there's no wonder that we are also finding love in the workplace. What better way to have a reason to get out of bed at 6am than the thought of seeing your beau on the job, right?
