Three Signs It's Time to Leave Your Company
 | | Dr. Jimmie Flores |
There was a time when some of us said the following (even in public):
"This is a great company. I want to retire here!"
"My manager is excellent. This is the right place for me!"
"The benefits here are awesome! I'm so lucky to be a part of this company!"
In this article, Three Signs It's Time to Leave Your Company, Dr. Flores provides several cues that keep you in control of your career opportunities. |
TMI: The Holiday Inn Experience
| |
Here recently I stayed at the Holiday Inn Emerald Beach in Corpus Christi, Texas. My mother was being inducted into the Court Reporters Hall of Fame, and it was a good opportunity to make it a family event. This particular Holiday Inn has access to a short strip of the beach, making it a bit more attractive than other hotels on Shoreline Drive. Even though I had reservations for $129 per night, the guest relations representative, Linda, made it clear that because of supply and demand my room rate was now $240. It didn't make any sense, and it took a little reflection before I had a response to the supply and demand conversation.
In this article, TMI: The Holiday Inn Experience, Dr. Flores explains how to keep things simple for the customer.

Here are a few reasons counting calories isn't the way to go. In this article, Three Reasons You Shouldn't Count Calories, Eric Flores simplifies your approach to looking great.

JMBOK Launches Web-based PMP / CAPM Program

Over the past several years, I have taught many project management courses. These courses are taught in organizations and universities. In essence, I have become a project management sponge, learning as much as I can to help my students apply the principles in the workplace. In fact, my approach to teaching is to bridge the gap between theory and practice.
For those of you interested in earning the Project Management Professional (PMP) or Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM), here is a solution that is both effective and affordable. For more information,

Lima, Peru: Taxis are Popular
|
Lima, Peru: The taxis are popular in Lima because the city has no subway system. Therefore, the people use either taxis or the bus system, both of which are reasonable. The point here is that taxis are prevalent, and thereby reducing the cost for the consumer - a basic supply and demand lesson.
