By David B. Bohl | May 31, 2007 | No Responses Yet
Employees and hiring managers were surveyed to better understand today’s workforce and the phenomenon of career sequencing and workplace flexibility. There has been an increase in professionals wanting to take a ‘detour’ from their career path for personal reasons (caring for elderly parent, etc) or even for entrepreneurial reasons.

Effectiveness and Authenticity - Give Yourself a Break
By David B. Bohl | May 30, 2007 | One Response
Do you feel like you are pretty efficient but yet there is this nagging feeling that you’re still missing something? The solution is simple - stop trying to be everything to everybody! You’ll never make everyone happy so stop trying. You’ll never know everything and more importantly you aren’t expected too. Just know what you know and say and do your best. Differentiate yourself.

Work-Life Balance Whiners Part 3
By David B. Bohl | May 24, 2007 | 2 Responses
I’m back with part 3 of whiners today. I have listed some of the definitions that the FDS International study attempted to define as work-life balance to individuals. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to discount any of these issues nor am I trying to tell you what your balanced life should look like. I’m simply making a point from a comparative perspective.
Work-Life Balance Whiners Part 2
By David B. Bohl | May 23, 2007 | One Response
I talked about workplace whining recently and felt that it was worth coming back to the topic again. I actually emailed FDS International directly and obtained a copy of the 28-page report What Workers Want: A Worldwide Study of Attitudes to Work and Work-Life Balance. Just as I suspected, the headlines didn’t do justice to the data contained in the survey.
