Uprooting Life. On Why Im Leaving - Workology

Uprooting Life. On Why Im Leaving Lifes Too Short to Wait on Living Earlier this week I enjoyed a wonderful quiet goodbye cocktail hour here in Oklahoma City. I cried to myself both before I entered the party as well as after too. I will be leaving behind great friends and close family, but these tears werent all tears of sadness. They were tears of excitement, anticipation and uncertainty. My family and I are relocating half way across the country. During the cocktail hour last week and since our announcement to friends and family that were were moving, many people have asked about why Im moving to California specifically the Bay area and what is different that Ill specifically be doing. My answer to them is nothing. Absolutely nothing. Ill still be writing here and on Workology, working with HR technology as well as consulting with HR and Recruiting teams. Lifes Too Short to Wait on Living Oklahoma has been our home for the last seven years and weve enjoyed the time spent. Theres no job specifically to drive us to California although there are companies I work with in Silicon Valley, and yet when Im in the Bay Ive never felt more at home with our decision to sell our home in Moore, Oklahoma, move, uproot and relocate our life to a place with no family, just friends that live in the vicinity. Ill be closer to the technology center of the universe and our family will be taking part in a great new adventure because lifes too short to wait for living. Ryleigh whos 4 is excited about things like the ocean, her new swimming pool, less mosquitos and bug bites, and San Francisco which she pronounces San-FRAN-CICSO, accent on the Francisco and emphasis on the last two syllables usually said with her eyes and arms wide open like shes on a Broadway stage. Not everyone has been excited, supportive or happy about our change of location but Ive never been involved in any major life change or decision where there was not at least one naysayer touting negativity. There will always be someone who is not supportive of yours and my life decisions especially those decisions that are hard ones and tug at the heart strings. Because if it was easy, its something everyone would be doing. Lifes also too short to worry about things we cant control like tornados, earthquakes and when we even leave this earth. But what I can control is opening myself up to opportunities, experiences and following adventure wherever it may lead. Life Without Risk Is Only Hopes Dreams Am I terrified? Hell yes! Thinking that I might fail. Of course, but in my heart of hearts Greg and I know its the best decision for my business and our family. Life is too short to wait for living. Im a survivor, a domestic abuse survivor and someone who has been underestimated, misunderstood and through it all kept fighting, living and seeing possibility. Ive triumphed and experienced things I never would have believed. And theres so much more left to be seen, live and do. Without risk there is no reward and without risk there is also no living only dreaming. So goodbye Oklahoma and hello California. Im excited at the adventures you have in store for my family and me.

Negotiate With Confidence

Haggle With Confidence Haggle With Confidence Don't simply know your value, realize how to sell it. iVillage Chief Correspondent Kelly Wallace and I talked with Kathie Lee and Hoda on the TODAY show about a survey iVillage released on ladies in the working environment. As per the overview, just 35 percent of the 1,500 ladies surveyed online have ever requested a raise, and under 20 percent have ever requested a promotion.The truth is, on the off chance that you don't request what you need, you won't get it â€" you need to arrange. We see this all the time in the work environment. Men anticipate the raise and request it; ladies stay focused, trusting their difficult work will be perceived and, ideally, rewarded.By not arranging, you are setting yourself up to lose a huge number of dollars over the lifetime of your profession. To Sheryl Sandberg's point, we need to lean in in the event that we need more. Here are a few different ways you can set yourself up for effective negotiations. Do your homework.If you will haggle unhesit atingly, you should be readied. Regardless of whether you're requesting a raise or arranging another agreement, first assemble the real factors. Use assets like Salary.com and Ladders' serious investigation instrument, Scout to decide the normal remuneration extend for the job you're competing for, considering the area, industry, and friends size.Know your worth.What do you bring to the table? Make a rundown of your significant commitments and achievements, measuring them at whatever point conceivable. How have you (or will you have the option to) reduced expenses, increment income, make things run all the more effectively, improve consumer loyalty, and so forth.? Utilize this rundown to help you to remember your esteem and plan for negotiations.Leave feeling at the door.Negotiation isn't around one individual winning and the other losing. Rather, it is about each gathering giving a little to keep or get what they need most. It's business, not personal. If you feel your feelings ris ing, hold off on haggling until you can remain cool, quiet, and gathered. These will raise the fourth C â€" confidence!Fake it till you make it.Most officials concur that certainty is basic to being a decent pioneer and solid arbitrator. You need to ooze confidence, in any event, when you feel lost and powerless. Never apologize for arranging â€" own it. Very regularly ladies apologize when they've done nothing incorrectly and, thus, they are seen by men as being feeble or lacking conviction. Try not to let yourself fall into that trap. Empower yourself.Negotiation can be educated, yet it takes practice. Pretend with your accomplice or a companion, and remember, you haggle more than you know it. Regardless of whether you're discussing who will wash the dishes after supper or haggling with your five-year old over sleep time, you're rehearsing those skills.If you'd like more data on exchange, I suggest getting a duplicate of A Women's Guide to Successful Negotiation , by Lee E. Mill o perator and Jessica Miller, and Negotiating Your Salary: How to Make $1000 per Minute , by Jack Chapman.

Seeking after a reasonable answer, Sarah gets the telephone and calls you for advice.Read my post and the exhortation of others in the professions field.

Postgrad life vs. Undergrad life

Postgrad life vs. Undergrad life by Amber Rolfe Considering going back to uni? Things might have changed a little…Whether you’re currently studying for an undergraduate degree, you’ve just graduated, or you’ve been out of uni for a while â€" gaining a postgraduate degree is a great way to advance your knowledge, progress in your career, and even stand out to recruiters.If you’re not sure how further education differs from your undergrad experiences, here are a few things you might see differently as a postgrad:Nights outWhat undergrads think: ‘Where can I get a pirate costume at short notice?’What postgrads think: ‘Enjoy queuing for overrated clubs, Captain Hook.’Postgraduate degrees usually involve more research, studying, and additional life-admin duties you didn’t have when you were 18. And, because of this, nights out might be less frequent than when you were an undergrad â€" not to mention less appealing.After all, you’ve already enjoyed three years of uni life â€" and have undoubt edly outgrown partying until 5am every night, especially at a sticky-floored club with no concept of volume control.You’re not completely over nights out â€" you’re just wiser (and have better taste in drinks).CleaningWhat undergrads think: ‘I should go and start my essay â€" just as soon as I’ve done the dishes’    What postgrads think: ‘I should really take a break from procrastinating…’Although many years of cleaning the house once a month in a desperate attempt to avoid essays was great, you might not be able to save your work till the night before when you’re studying for a Masters.That means less time for procrastination, and more time for a clean-as-you-go and-study-more method. And/or learning to live in a constant state of ‘organised mess’.Hello, tediously organised cleaning rotas (and yes, there’ll be at least one person who ignores it).AccommodationWhat undergrads think: ‘Ah, free heating and electricity? Better get all of the fairy lights…’ What postgrads think: ‘I still can’t believe I have to pay for water…’If you’re a fresher, you’ll get to benefit from the possibility of living in halls â€" at least for your first year. This equals unlimited heating and electricity, which is all included in your rent.The latter part of your undergrad life will probably involve learning to budget in a house (see also: sitting in duvets because you can’t afford heating), meaning you might do a better job at making your living situation more comfortable as a postgrad.StudyingWhat undergrads think: ‘I’ll just do the essay the night before. 40% is enough to pass, right?’What postgrads think: ‘Study now, sleep later’Studying for a degree involves a lot of work â€" whether you’re an undergrad or a postgrad.However, chances are your first three years of being a student were a little easier than studying for a Masters or a PhD. The work becomes more specialist and advanced, and involves a lot more self-motivation t han it did in your undergrad days.On the flip side, you’ll be doing something you’re really interested in, and you’ll have a lot more choice on what you’re writing. No more hurriedly picking modules, no more dull lectures.#livingthedreamFriendsWhat undergrads think: ‘Must make friends with everyone I see’What postgrads think: ‘Netflix is my friend’Your first three years as a uni student often involve enthusiastically seeking friendship with everyone you meet, whether it’s on a drunken night out, in a lecture, or in halls.Unfortunately, the people you end up making friends with might not always be your favourite humans on the planet â€" which becomes obvious when you graduate and never speak to them again.Postgrad life allows you to be more selective with who you hang out with, especially because what you do for fun might have changed.  NappingWhat undergrads think: ‘I need at least two naps per day’What postgrads think: ‘Napping is for the weak’So, uni work is tiring. We get it.But although napping seems like a great way to recharge after pulling an all-nighter â€" it isn’t always viable. Especially when you’re putting all your effort into getting a good grade, which is probably a likely situation if you’re studying for a Masters.But although your napping days might be behind you as a postgrad student, at least you’ll have a decent enough routine to actually sleep at night. Naps just make you groggy anyway…EatingWhat undergrads think: ‘My diet basically consists of chicken nuggets and spaghetti hoops’What postgrads think: ‘Finally, all the Come Dine with Me repeats are paying off’As much as it seems totally fine to eat the bare minimum when you’re an undergrad, the novelty of 7p packets of pasta eventually wears off.And, as you start to enjoy eating more than going on big nights out, your money veers towards better food â€" food that will help your body recover from slumming it in undergrad life.Additionally, many postgraduate students may have had the opportunity to work before returning to uni, and might also be settled in a full-time or part-time job.In other words, name brands are back.
