Focus on the Positive
I subscribe to a newsletter on marketing. The current issue is the 47th of Sell Yourself Without Selling
Your Soul (tm): 60 Second Secrets.
Author Susan Harrow, Media Coach and Marketing Expert, says in the recent issue:
"I like the advice Gary Austin, the founder of the improv
comedy group, The Groundlings, gives to his aspiring actors.
*One thing I say to students at the end of an improv is,
~What did you do that you liked?~ And when they start to
tell me what they didn't like I say, ~I don't want to hear
that. Let's hear what you liked that you did. Because the
more you focus on what you did that you liked, the more
you'll do what you like."

The Guardian: One in four seek to quit job in new year
YouGov survey for software company Zynap discloses that the holiday season offers reflective time which leads one in four to consider a job change.
"The kneejerk reaction to the threat of losing talented people is often to pay more," said Chris Macklin of Zynap. "The survey shows that career development and work/life balance are highly significant factors. This is yet more compelling evidence that firms need to focus still more on nurturing talent so that employees are convinced their next opportunity lies within the firm, not elsewhere."
