			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Seven Ways to Take Your Career to the Next Level</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Bret Dudl Methods to Accommodate The New Goals By Lynn Bradley</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Following are seven ways to take your career to next level. It is common knowledge that after you discover all there is to know about the routine of your comfort level, you become stagnated and cannot grow. It is dangerous to suddenly start operating out of your comfort level which is like a different world. There has to be an intermediate step that permits you to emerge from your shell without fear of destruction.</p>
<p>1. The more familiar you are with your surroundings, the better you will feel.Therefore, spend some time in an area you would like to move to, where you are not at ease. Simply observe how others proceed in this area. After a few short ventures to the outside you will begin to get your bearings and see how you can adapt your routine to be successful here.</p>
<p>2. Do not attempt to move to a new environment until you have researched it thoroughly and your plans are solid. It would be wise to get advice from friends you can trust who have experience there. Learning new ways of expanding your abilities and business, will require exploring new methods and making new acquaintances. You will have to adjust your methods to accommodate the new goals.</p>
<p>3. Before you can fulfill your dreams you must make room in your thinking for them. Enlarge your vision. Expand your expectations. If you are going to do bigger things, you have to learn to think bigger thoughts. People often fail to reach their dreams because the thought of it scares them to death. You have to get used to the idea and muster the courage to tackle it.</p>
<p>4. People are ignoring many opportunities. Few are learning a trade. There are thousands of welders now at retirement age with no trained welders to take their place. These companies will either have to train welders or go out of business. Few males are going to barber school or learning to work on watches and clocks. Mechanics, plumbers, carpenters and construction workers make good money.</p>
<p>5. In this information age it is easier than ever to become an entrepreneur. It could be relatively inexpensive and may not even require an office building. You might be able to work out of your home. Those with expertise in technical fields often become consultants for businesses. Some experts charge large fees for telling companies how to improve or save their failing business.</p>
<p>6. Most experienced workers have developed expertise that businesses are in need of. When you have a passion for something, you naturally become an expert. Learn to take advantage of it. You might be able to hire onto a company to train others in your field or be a consultant. Keep this in mind as you develop your talents.</p>
<p>7. There are many opportunities for those who can develop their imagination as they become experts in their field. Do not permit yourself to be taken advantage of. Keep your eyes and ears open for better opportunities with other companies. Keep up to date by learning skills that will be needed in the future.The sky is the limit for those who are willing to believe they can make it at the next level.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>7 Successful Stress Management Techniques</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">7 Successful Reputation Professor Techniques By Lyndsay Swinton.</p>
<p>Everyone needs successful stress management techniques. Easy to learn and easy to implement, you can use them for your own stress management or teach them to help others manage theirs.<br />
Manage your stress and be a healthier, happier and more pleasant person to be around. Let’s cut to the chase&#8230;</p>
<p>1. Make stress your friend</p>
<p>Acknowledge that stress is good and make stress your friend! Based on the body’s natural “fight or flight” response, that burst of energy will enhance your performance at the right moment. I’ve yet to see a top sportsman totally relaxed before a big competition. Use stress wisely to push yourself that little bit harder when it counts most.</p>
<p>2. Stress is contagious</p>
<p>Stressed people sneeze stress germs indiscriminately and before you know it, you are infected with stress germs too!</p>
<p>Protect yourself from stress germs by recognising stress in others and limiting your contact with them. Or if you’ve got the inclination, play stress doctor and teach them how to better manage their stress.</p>
<p>3. Copy good stress managers</p>
<p>When people around are losing their head, which keeps calm? What are they doing differently? What is their attitude? What language do they use? Are they trained and experienced?<br />
Figure it out from afar or sit them down for a chat. Learn from the best stress managers and copy what they do.</p>
<p>4. Use heavy breathing.</p>
<p>You can trick your body into relaxing by using heavy breathing. Breathe in slowly for a count of 7 then breathe out for a count of 11. Repeat the 7-11 breathing until your heart rate slows down, your sweaty palms dry off and things start to feel more normal.</p>
<p>5. Stop stress thought trains</p>
<p>It is possible to tangle yourself up in a stress knot all by yourself. “If this happens, then that might happen and then we’re all up the creek!” Most of these things never happen, so why waste all that energy worrying needlessly?</p>
<p>Give stress thought-trains the red light and stop them in their tracks. Okay so it might go wrong – how likely is that, and what can you do to prevent it?</p>
<p>6. Know your stress hot spots and trigger points</p>
<p>Presentations, interviews, meetings, giving difficult feedback, tight deadlines&#8230;My heart rate is cranking up just writing these down!</p>
<p>Make your own list of stress trigger points or hot spots. Be specific. Is it only presentations to a certain audience that get you worked up? Does one project cause more stress than another? Did you drink too much coffee?</p>
<p>Knowing what causes you stress is powerful information, as you can take action to make it less stressful. Do you need to learn some new skills? Do you need extra resources? Do you need to switch to de-caffeinated coffee?</p>
<p>7. Eat, drink, sleep and be merry!</p>
<p>Lack of sleep, poor diet and no exercise wreaks havoc on our body and mind. Kind of obvious, but worth mentioning as it’s often ignored as a stress management technique. Listen to your mother and don’t burn the candle at both ends!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Recession Was Avoidable</strong></p>
<p>Reputation Professor Complaints Was Avoidable By Leonard C Tekaat.</p>
<p>Basically what has happened to our economy, the means of exchange has decreased significantly.</p>
<p>The Committee For Economic Reform and a Better Economic Future has developed an Alternative Economic Stimulus plan to restart our economy. It does not require the Federal government to create a huge deficit, to return consumer&#8217;s deposable income.</p>
<p>CSUB Professor of Economics Mark Evans was quoted as saying, we are going to have to live with large deficits for a long time, and there is no other way. We disagree with that statement. The Committee believes that there is another way. President Obama is relying on Keynesian Economics. John Maynard Keynes policies put governments into massive debt, to stimulate the economy and return people&#8217;s disposable income. Over time more government programs are created, increasing the size of government, as our economy cycles through periodic periods of recession and inflation.</p>
<p>Consumption and home creation represents 75% of the economic activity in our economy. The economy will not fully recover until the consumer&#8217;s financial condition and confidence improves. Investor confidence, in making long-term investments, needs to improve also. This will happen as the economy improves and when we enact the Zero Inflation Taxation Policy.</p>
<p>When the Federal Reserve lowered the Fed rate and the banks and other financial institutions could not follow the Fed&#8217; lead, of lowering the cost of the means of exchange, the collapse of employment and the stock market occurred. If lower interest rates had been available, for credit worthy borrowers, the money supply would have quickly expanded, creating enough of the means of exchange for our economy to continue to work.</p>
<p>The recession would not have gotten out of control, causing the massive layoffs, decreasing people&#8217;s disposable income, there-by causing the economy to continue its downward spiral. Consumer and investor confidence was thus lost.</p>
<p>The enterprise economic system cannot operate efficiently, without the correct amount of the means of exchange (money) being in balance with available supply.</p>
<p>They are asking you for your endorsement and support of the Alternative Economic Stimulus Plan. They are asking you to please review it at their web site. They also want you to read the other economic policy papers first, so you will obtain a complete picture of why we are repeating the mistakes of the Great Depression. Without the changes we need to improve our economy, we will continue to repeat the mistakes of the past.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>A Unique Way to Go Green</strong></p>
<p>Reputation Professor Complaints to Go Green By Acline Wyle.</p>
<p>Renting college textbooks or recycling old books is a unique way to go green because the manufacturing and delivery process of new books is energy inefficient and wasteful. Not to mention, by renting books instead of buying brand new ones every semester, you can really save a lot of money. Renting instead of buying also has a tremendously positive effect on the environment.</p>
<p>Go Green, Rent Textbooks</p>
<p>Each year, 20 million trees are cut down for books, and 4 million of those trees are for textbooks alone. This statistic is staggering when you consider the amount of old and unused books that we all have lying around our homes. Recycling the books would be a good eco-friendly solution, as would donating them to some sort of thrift store or library.</p>
<p>Perhaps the best way to fix the problem from the onset would be to rent the books because that way when you are done with them, somebody else will be able to use them. This would end the cycle of waste because a rented book is one less unused book lying around your house.</p>
<p>With regards to college textbooks, every college student and parent is well aware of how ridiculously expensive they can be. The really frustrating thing is that when you try to sell them back at the end of the semester, you only get a fraction of what you paid in the first place. Buying university books is clearly a lose-lose proposition. Therefore, renting the books would not only help save the environment, it would help you save a lot of money.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Beating Your Fear of Public Speaking</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">By Dana Bristol-Smith</p>
<p>Knocking knees, butterflies (who came up with that word?) in your stomach, sweaty palms, quavering voice. We’ve all been there – some of us more than others. I’m going to share with you some of the tricks of the trade to help manage and reduce your anxiety before and during your presentation. These methods are tried and true and have helped many presenters.</p>
<p>The first time is always the worst and it gets better from there.</p>
<p>In 1991, I gave my first presentation to a large audience. My audience was 150 fifth and six grade students in an outside courtyard of an elementary school. I was scheduled to give a 35-minute student assembly that explained a collection of international artifacts (masks, musical instruments, hats, and other interesting items). It was a program designed to increase multicultural understanding. I was so fired up about the topic, and thought that it was such an important subject that I thought I could deliver the program.</p>
<p>Well, of course everything went wrong! The wind picked up and knocked some of the items off the display table (the kids thought this was funny, I didn’t). The microphone had that horrible screeching feedback. My knees shook the whole time, my voice quavered, my heart pounded – and I felt like it was going on forever. I got through my content somehow and looked at my watch. I gave a 35-minute presentation in 15-minutes! I think that I probably forgot to breathe.</p>
<p>After packing up my items and loading them in my car, I collapsed in the driver’s seat. When my heart starting beating normally, I had a realization. My realization was that I did deliver the program, yes–terribly, but I did finish it and it would probably never again be that bad. From that point on, I learned something from every program I gave; how to keep the audience engaged, how to test AV equipment BEFORE I started, how to breathe normally and speak at the same time. The list goes on and on. In three years, I delivered this program to more than 100,000 students and teachers.</p>
<p>Today, I help adults develop the skills of public speaking. It seems that everyone has some degree of nervousness or anxiety. What I know is that you can live through those feelings and that over time they get easier and easier to deal with. Give these strategies a try and see if they will help you too.</p>
<p>How about having a conversation?</p>
<p>Use your mental energy to think of your next presentation as a conversation. You have conversations all day, every day! Do you get nervous before a conversation? Most conversations are non-threatening experiences, just a way for two or more people to communicate something. How is a presentation different than that? Try to think of your presentation as a conversation, just with a few more people. See if that eases your mind and nerves.</p>
<p>Make some new friends in the audience.</p>
<p>Most people are nervous in front of an audience of strangers. What would happen if you had a friend in the audience, or a group of friends? Would you feel more comfortable? Next time you have to give a presentation to a group you don’t know – do something revolutionary! Introduce yourself, shake hands, and greet as many of the audience as possible before your talk begins. That way, when you’re standing in the front of the room looking out, it is no longer a sea of strangers, but a friendly group, because you met some of the people first. You’ll want to find them in the audience and make eye contact, and it won’t be too hard, because they’ll probably be smiling at you.</p>
<p>Put yourself in your audience’s shoes for a moment. Imagine that you are attending a special seminar at work. How would you feel if before the seminar, the speaker took a moment to introduce herself to you? Would you be a more receptive listener to what she had to say? I bet your answer is yes!</p>
<p>How about smiling?</p>
<p>Smiling has a physiological affect on us – it helps to calm our nerves and make us feel better. It also has the added bonus of making us appear more pleasant, comfortable and happy – definite positive characteristics of a presenter. Often times, the audience will mirror the expression of the presenter. So guess what happens when you smile? You got it; your audience will be more likely to smile back at you.</p>
