Digg it UP - Managing Change; Make Conscious Decisions
With all the cutbacks, right-sizing and outplacement occurring in today’s corporate world, career change is very difficult. Many blindlessly list their resumes on Monster or Career Builder hoping for a quick interview and job offer. However, my best advice, provided during career training sessions in my role as a career coach, is to seek out budding career fields with a dearth of highly qualified candidates. One such field is SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and SEM (Search Engine Marketing). Though distinct, they cross over into one exploding industry that provides vast opportunities for those transitionin

We might be in the electronic gaming era, but it’s more like a fun game of Monopoly this business for pleasure of sport franchise ownership. The stakes are high, spending free, and visible worries few.Despite the escalating fees for entry into the game, personal franchise ownership hasn’t been replaced by corporations. Of 121 big league professional sports franchises, only 15 have found their way into corporate hands. Most owners claim to be losing money which would explain takeover shyness of shareholder controlled companies. It’s nicer to think sole owners don’t want to sell because sports ownershi
Conscious decisions are made with the data at hand the risks understood and the implications of the risk known with possible contingencies built into the decision. Conscious decisions are made despite the risk or at times because of the potential reward that goes with the risk.
Taking conscious decisions does not always require courage but undoubtedly at times it does. Taking a conscious decision to go against the trend, to go against advice because you know that it is right and the consequences will be personal takes courage.
Too often the courage is missing. Instead of deciding what to do having understood the risk, conscious "Decisions" are made to defer a decision. These decisions have a flip side, the unconscious decision. It is the unconscious decision that people see and follow.
The committee chairman who habitually refers even the most minor matters to review by a sub committee even when all the data is present, makes an unconscious decision to be completely risk averse and delays potential benefits of the decision.

Rehoboth Beach Delaware is called the Nation’s Summer Capital because we are such a common second home and entertainment location for the powerful and influential people of Washington D.C. There are few people making over $75,000 a year in the DC professions who do not frequent this area when they need privacy, space, fresh ocean air and relaxation. It’s not just summer that draws them anymore, they come year ‘round. And it’s not just Rehoboth Beach anymore, they populate Lewes, Dewey Beach, Bethany Beach, Fenwick Island and all the little towns near the Delaware Beaches.During the past several ye

Two years ago Jeff was a discontented software developer. His work left him frustrated and mentally drained each day. His performance reviews were generally positive, but always noted a lack of genuine interest or motivation. He agreed completely with these reviews. Following a specific aptitude test and some coaching, Jeff understood the reason and set his sights on becoming a systems administrator…and he’s never looked back.Jeff’s feeling that there was something missing in his career is all too common. Despite the money, the telecommuting—and even the sandals—a growing number of IT profession

At every talk I give, I ask the audience to tell me the reasons why people don't change careers. The most common answer given each time is "lack of money." So many people have such an exaggerated fear about money that they will not even take the time to determine how much they will need to do work they love in the first place!Does this sound like you? Do you feel stuck where you are, trapped by your own perceptions?It's time to pull your head out of the sand and get a handle on your finances! There are five things you can do starting right now to financially prepare yourself for
In addition, the organisation is prevented from gathering data about the impact of the decision to refine it with experience. If failure is possible, I would rather fail quickly and knowingly than slowly and obliviously.
If the committee chairman is someone senior as is the case in most circumstances, the other members of the committee will also learn to be risk averse.
The leader who does not complete the performance appraisal on time is making an unconscious decision that performance appraisals are not important. Given that there is between a month and a year to plan appraisal and feedback sessions, postponing them or missing them all together is a signal of their lack of importance.
Missing them twice is a red flashing light that may be interpreted not only as a lack of importance of the process but what the leader thinks about the individual. The unconscious decision appears so clear it may be seen as an conscious decision. Worse still, the leader is unlikely to be told what the staff thinks. The leader will be oblivious of the impact of their unc
