Strategy for Success: Advancing - Achieving Your Goal
I Didn't See it Coming: The Only Book You'll Ever Need to Avoid Being Blindsided in Business by Nancy C. Widmann (Author), Elaine J. Eisenman (Author), Amy Dorn Kopelan (Author) - I Didn't See It Coming provides savvy advice and strategic insights for recognizing and dealing with the situations that can threaten your career. This book will help you develop the skills you need to read the room, correctly assess what is happening around you, and control your career destiny. It shows you why you need an exit strategy, how to navigate the political terrain, how (and why) to differentiate between colleagues, and why it's important to follow the money. Everyone can benefit from understanding how office politics works and what you can do to enhance your position. For anyone in a dicey situation—even if you don't know it yet—this is the ultimate guidebook for office survival. When it comes to your career, don't take chances! Take charge and make sure you see it coming. Our goal in this book is not to place you in a constant state of anxiety and paranoia, but rather to give you the tools you need to step up, charge forward, and reach the top without getting blindsided. Learning to see those red flags will guide and inform every decision you make. It will also give you the power to be a confident and creative leader.

Career Tips:
Health Tip: Avoiding Co-Worker Conflict
- by Amanda Bach Co-worker conflict isn't always avoidable. From time to time you'll have to deal with someone who is rude, a bully, or someone who tries to sabotage your work.

What is mentoring & why do we need a mentor? - by Amanda Bach - It seems perfectly clear that, although it is not fatal to lack a mentor, it certainly helps one a great deal to have one, both in technical and conceptual knowledge, learning from a broad base of experience and rapidly gaining a wealth of contacts.

Quick check list - by Amanda Bach - Choosing a career is a big decision. A decision that should involve more than thumbing through a book or newspaper and picking a job that sounds kind of interesting. While your next job will probably not be your last job, you will be spending many hours each week at the office. If you're working full-time you will be spending more time with your co-workers than with your family.

Being prepared is the key to stress-free mornings - by Diana Pemberton-Sikes - "
There ought to be a law against looking that good this early in the morning with three little kids in tow," another mother told me recently at our preschool. "Stop it! You're making the rest of us look bad!"
