Who’s Ready to Start a Garden?

24th February 202124th February 2021 Saralee Rhoads Leave a comment

Get better at what you do. It’s a pretty straightforward concept, isn’t it? As we get better, we get faster and we earn kudos from our employer. We earn raises and bonuses. These are not new concepts…but when we work in absentia from the home office, we operate on our own. It’s easy to become […]

How to Get the Most from your Position

16th February 202116th February 2021 Saralee Rhoads Leave a comment

When we look at the pleasure of a job that isn’t a nine to five cubicle, we find a lot to appreciate! That appreciation is a tool, a way to interject a more positive attitude and growing happiness into your life. Let’s look at gratitude. A recent Harvard study correlated feelings of gratitude with a […]

Find Value In What It Isn’t

10th February 202110th February 2021 Saralee Rhoads Leave a comment

Our work is NOT a lot of things, and it’s time to be thankful for that! I’ll start us off with a small list of things your work isn’t, and see how many you can add to this list! This isn’t a 9-5 job. We don’t waste time trying to look busy to keep a […]

Learn top Speak a New Language: Posispeak

2nd February 20212nd February 2021 Saralee Rhoads Leave a comment

               None of us love everything we do, but should we? Who loves folding laundry or doing dishes or washing the car? In our daily jobs there is also the minutiae of tasks which we may come to dread, but focusing on what we don’t like robs us of the joy of what we do […]

Reading To Be a Better Employee

26th January 202126th January 2021 Saralee Rhoads Leave a comment

Retail Merchandising 2021 As we close out this month of self-improvement, let’s look at an industry standard. Let’s look at two issues: First, the process of putting merchandise on shelves, and second, the shrinking number of shelves. At first glance, our work is pretty much a no-brainer. We follow instructions. A company contacts Teresa and […]

Read and Create!

20th January 202120th January 2021 Saralee Rhoads Leave a comment

Even in my elementary brain, reading and writing have gone together like peas and carrots or coffee and cream. I wanted to grow up to be the next Erma Bombeck, but discovered I just wasn’t that funny. It’s not that I can’t elicit grins during conversation, but crafting my writing to be funny feels like […]

Out of This World

13th January 202113th January 2021 Saralee Rhoads Leave a comment

This week’s book is a page turner…because we can’t always be focused on self-improvement. As a person who loves words, I have been an avid reader all my life. In my younger years I held to a reading program that included four types of books: one on self-improvement, a biography or autobiography, a non-fiction on […]

A Perfect Read for Wintery Weather

6th January 20216th January 2021 Saralee Rhoads Leave a comment

Something about cold weather sends me for a soft, warm comforter and a good book. I know we all have page turners we love, but I’d like to encourage you to adopt a little 2021 plan of self-improvement. Read some books this January aimed at making you a better employee, a better person. To that […]

Words Versus Actions

30th December 202030th December 2020 Saralee Rhoads Leave a comment

This is the big week for all of us tricksters, isn’t it? We think of grandiose resolutions, ones we have never kept and probably will abdicate on short order early in January, but which make us feel wonderful when we say them. Who are we fooling? Some changes need to be made. It is true […]

Keep the Home Fires Burning

22nd December 202022nd December 2020 Saralee Rhoads Leave a comment

It’s this week! Eeek!! I love Christmas. Because of the pandemic I have more entertaining, not less. Let me explain. To minimize risk for some family members, our large family is celebrating with us at three different times. That’s three different meals. Three different house cleanings. Tripling my work load. And I love it! In […]
