Dear <$firstname$>,

(Note: if you see "subscriber" above, you need to update your info with us - just go here: http://www.OptimizeInstitute.com/update.htm)

Each time I sit to write this ezine, I imagine you sitting in front of your computer reading it. What can I say that will answer a question or help with an issue you currently have in your workplace world? You can help me with this by sending me questions or suggestions… RS@OptimizeInstitute.com and then I’ll be sure you are getting what you most need and want.

Last week in one class at the Optimize! Institute, we had a big discussion about why we tend to communicate differently at home than at work. Have you noticed that to be true? Many people speak to the folks at home in ways that they know would be completely unacceptable in the workplace. AND, they don’t do it in the workplace! So, what makes it OK to do it at home? Do you have the same patience for the people closest to you that you have for a new person on the job? It’s a great question, isn’t it? Got ideas? I’ve started a conversation in our member’s forum under ‘What You Pay Attention to Expands”…. join in. I’m very interested in your ideas & insights on this.

If you would like to make your name a household word, we have a teleclinic that will give you the strategies to position yourself as an expert. Media maven, Dawn Holman, and I are teaming up to bring you this four-hour seminar--one a week—so that you can increase your visibility and build your reputation. Learn these clear steps and save yourself time and money. Check that out at People, Publicity & Profits! Wow! So much good stuff for you this week.

San Diego has had big rains this week. The earth is delighted and the colors of green that have sprung up are amazing. This is a beautiful place to live. I hope you are appreciating where you live this week, too. Be sure to stop and smell the flowers…even if they are under that snow bank.

Make it an optimized day.

Rhoberta

Speaking About Work:
IS A NUDGE MORE EFFECTIVE THAN A SHOVE?
by Rhoberta Shaler, PhD

Are you more motivated by a nudge or a shove? Probably we’ve all been motivated by both. One is easier to hear and accept. By definition, to nudge someone is “to seek the attention of; to prod lightly; to urge into action”. That sounds gentle…and positive. READ MORE >>>

HAVE YOU CROSSED THE LINE?
© Tim Fulton

What I had perceived as creative financing the bank had perceived as a felony. I had crossed the line and didn’t know it. Under different circumstances and larger dollar amounts, I too could have possibly been exposed to our Federal judiciary and penal system.

Post-it Notes

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.

Smarter Working Tips

It was the strangest thing. It must have been the sunshine (yes, we get sunshine in Canada in winter). For some wacky reason I had the urge to purge. I know I should have been working on client projects but the bulging bookshelf across from my desk was just calling out for order. (*note... about then I should have been signing up for Rhoberta's "Overcoming Procrastination" Teleseminar!!)READ MORE>>

A GIGGLE FOR YOU

The supervisor for the Union Of Road Construction Workers called the meeting to order.
"Men -- we've agreed on a new deal with the state. We'll no longer have to work FOUR days a week!" "HOOORAY!!!" the crowd cheered.
"We'll quit work at 4PM and not 5PM!"    "HOORAY!!!" the crowd roared.
"We don't have to be in until 11AM instead of 10AM!" "HOORAY!!!" the crowd thundered.
"And now, even though 99% of the roads in the country are blocked by orange barrels, we'll only have to work on Wednesdays!!"
Silence.
A voice from the back of the room asks, "You mean, EVERY Wednesday?"
