“Life is not a straight line — there will always be ups and downs along the way.

“We cannot always sail on the crest of a wave. Situations do not always work out; our vision does not always become a reality and too often, we don’t come home with the gold, or even the bronze!” says Carol Spiers in Managing Pressure at Work: the Crying Games.

She goes on to offer six suggestions for finding ways to move on when the feelings are getting in the way at work. But what if you are the manager in this situation and you need to provide guidance to a member of your team? This webinar can help.

A challenging economic cycle, increased expectations, and an accelerated pace are all combining to create an environment where managers need to be at their absolute best to successfully deal with the different issues that people bring to work. Providing feedback, dealing with conflict, and addressing performance issues are just some of the situations that can challenge even the most experienced managers.

When I remodeled my bathroom a few years ago, my initial plan included only a few things: I wanted it to feel bigger (it’s a small space), and everything needed to be replaced – the utilities, furniture, walls, floors, and window.

I know what I like, and I know what I want, but I don’t know the first thing about designing a new bathroom.  Add to that a full-time job and three children under the age of 10, I knew I needed to hire someone who could take complete control of the project while still delivering everything I wanted.

I hired a contractor who could not only do the physical labor, but one who had the expertise to plan and design the whole thing. He asked me questions about which members of the family use the bathroom, and how often, in order to deliver the most relevant plan that fit our lifestyle. Through his consultation, he discovered that this bathroom was the main bathroom in the house, heavily used by our family and visitors alike.  Based on that fact, he recommended a redesign that provided the optimum privacy for our family of 5 – something I hadn’t even considered when initially launching the project.

Many businesses need to spend any excess budget on business items as the calendar year comes to a close. The Small Business Administration (SBA) is actually holding an online webinar to help businesses determine which choices to make before the end of the month.

Business owners face decisions in the next two weeks that could impact their 2011 income tax bill and their choices may depend on their outlook for the year ahead.

In the final weeks of the year, business owners frequently move to lower their tax burden by taking on debt — buying equipment, vehicles or office supplies — and delaying income until the next tax year. This year, those decisions may be a little more complicated depending on how much of an economic recovery the business owner expects in 2012, said Randy Wright, tax partner with Markham Norton Mosteller Wright & Co. in Fort Myers.

Even though the SBA is using our competitor for their online meeting, they make the point: online meetings are a valuable business tool especially if you are looking to do business in new ways in 2012.
