How are you going to get things done at work when it’s so sunny and summery outside?

It’s difficult to stay motivated at the office when you’re thinking of fun summer activities and wishing you were outside. Don’t let summer daydreams get in the way of your productivity. Stay focused and motivated at work this summer. Enjoy your weekends and free time knowing you are on track at the office!

Everyone knows that change will happen. I guess we just need to remember that, so we won’t be so shocked and upset when it happens.

It seems that everyone wants “things to change” at work. Many are all too happy to complain about issues, management, or projects assigned to them. Yet, once “change” is announced fear is the first reaction.

As a manager it is imperative that you are a good communicator. Often you are letting your team know what you need from them. Maybe you’re talking to clients and must convey what you can do for them. And, everyday you hear from colleagues, employees, even your own boss - and you must respond to them.

During this festive time of year our minds are often on parties, shopping, family visits, school vacations, and getting things done at home. It can be difficult to stay focused at the office, but of course, we need to get our jobs done! Here are a few ways to stay on top of things at work, plus they’ll help you feel more at ease about your work-life balance too.

It’s that time of year when we all take a few extra moments to reflect on things for which we are most thankful; our health, family, friends, that great vacation, a kind neighbor, and the little things we often take for granted.
