The Forum is designed to visit with each other about changes, as well as to learn from one another. Each month, a $25 Starbucks gift card will be given to a randomly-selected Forum participant (or $25 will be donated to the charity of your choice).
Categories reflect not only my research interests as an educator and scientist, but also things that I have found are important to understand about oneself. This is your opportunity to share with others, to learn from others, and to help others learn about themselves.
Send your e-mail address (via Contact) for inclusion change-related research. Please include a summary of your changes, and/or direct me to your Forum entries. Research will commence when we have enough participants for valid study results. At that time, participants will be entered in random drawings for gift cards to Amazon, Starbucks, and other retailers (or an equal amount will be donated to the charity of choice). Other paid studies on social research will be available over time.

Hurrah for creative thinking!!!

4. Don’t be irreplaceable. If you can’t be replaced, you can’t be promoted. [Read more →]

Oh Those Dismal Job Searches!!Sorry about that ‘doom and gloom’ title, but I dislike job-hunting!! On the other hand, the upside is it can be a great time to learn about your Self. In other words, turn this ‘threat’ into an ‘opportunity’ (using Strategic Planning jargon). During the process you will want to do things such as:

Mind & ReadingI read voraciously. I read for pleasure; I read for motivation and understanding; I read for lots of reasons. Today I ordered several books from www.Amazon.com that will challenge my mind. I will provide reviews as I get through them. But the reviews other readers have given are already quite high. If the titles intrigue you, go for it:
