 Practical Advice for Your Job Search!
by Nancy Dube, HR Professional and owner of Dube Consulting
February Women in Business Luncheon Speaker
While I do not know the background of the author of 10 Guerilla Job Hunting Tactics on Salary.com, Amitai Givertz, I challenge her tactics and want to offer you real-life experience that will help people get back to work.
As I read her article entitled 10 Guerilla Job Hunting Tactics, I wondered how practical these tips would be for the average job seeker as I reflected on my own experience with people who have contacted me for help. Let's examine these tactics, and discover what really works. Read entire article...

January Re-cap - What's on The Mind's of CDOs?

Prepa ring Your Business to Grow!
by Melissa Discolo
Working with small business clients, I have had my share of New Year's resolution phone calls in January. Each year, these business owners evaluate their businesses and decide that they want to take steps to become more prosperous in the New Year. We often sit together and evaluate their strengths and weaknesses and begin the implementation of the four proven ways to grow their business which are:
1. Win new customers
2. Increase the number of times they buy from you
3. Increase the average transaction value
4. Improve the effectiveness and processes within your business to achieve the first three. Read entire article...
Loving Your Life in the New Year
by Marianne Hennigan
Once again that time of the year is upon us. It is the beginning of a new year when we look back and review our accomplishments and failures. Most people typically take inventory of what they need to change or do better in the upcoming year and go forth with a list of what we all know as "resolutions." We know that all too often few people are actually successful in fulfilling these resolutions and end up struggling with the same issues and challenges.
What if we explored a different approach this year? What if instead of reviewing our lives and noticing what is not working or what is lacking we focused on ways to love our lives in a new and different manner? Read entire article...
What is Prosperity? 
by Nancy Cantor
The definition of Prosperity is: the condition of being successful or thriving; especially: economic well-being.
I like the notion of thriving. If we are thriving what does that mean? It isn't just about money; it is about a feeling of fulfillment, accomplishment, and contribution.
Attaining goals can be satisfying but prosperity is food for the soul. It is according to theologian and novelist, Frederick Buechner, "It is where your deep gladness meets the world's deep hunger."
It is that and taking care of yourself so that you can continue to make your contribution. Read entire article...
A New Year's Inspiration: Dare Something Worthy!
by Pat Rainville
I am delighted to bfollowing on the heels of these wonderfully inspirational articles by Nancy and Marianne as well as the other ladies of the Dream Factory Community.
Like Marianne, I too decided to forget the New Year's resolutions. After the business of the holidays and encountering a small variety of mishaps (physical & financial) and mini crises (auto & computer) I was too tired to think about being resolved. Being resolved takes a lot of energy. Being resolved is that kind of energy where you square your shoulders, put your foot down and say "that's it, no more". It has it's place at certain times. But in my practice as a Human Design Specialist I also know that many of us do not have the consistent, sustainable will power energy to follow through on being resolved. Read entire article...
Your Life 30 Years from Now
by Laura Kischitz
There's a lot to be said for the power of visualizing and its help in delivering us the future we want to see. According to a recent popular book and movie, The Secret, is to first envision what you'd like to manifest and then believe it wholeheartedly that it will be so. The Universal Laws of Attraction bring us quickly that to which we give our attention. Accepting for a moment that these principals are true, let's take a look at a snapshot of life on Planet Earth 30 years from now. Read entire article...
