How Do I Get Paid For My Gifts?

How do you get paid for spiritual, creative, emotional gifts?

Here’s the full question that arrived in my inbox: “I came from a background that doesn’t value the gifts that I have developed.

Will We Be Working Till We're 80?

Retiring or working through 70s, even 80s?

With so many people still struggling to find work in this slow moving economy, those with jobs being quite frugal even during the holidays, and many losing much of their retirement funds... are we all going to be working just like today till we're 80? I saw a tv news story of a woman who had always hoped she's retire in her 60s or even 70s, but now realizes she may have to continue working into her 80s. How many people can imagine this?

Everything You Need To Know About Stress [EXPERT]

Are you easily overwhelmed? Find out how to cope with stress in your everyday life.

A couple of years ago, I began a very busy and fulfilling job. I was excited about the opportunities it presented to me. The more I immersed myself in the work, the more I was inspired by ideas about how the position could grow and evolve over time. I used my creativity and determination to try to bring about all that I believed was possible. When I started, I was naive about the inner-workings of the organization and the power imbalances that existed. It quickly became clear to me that trying to create any kind of meaningful change in the organization was going to be incredibly difficult. As I embraced the challenge, I worked hard, did my best and felt like I was living true to my values of honesty, hard work, connection and responsibility.

Can You Really Use Sex Appeal To Get Ahead In Your Career?

Apparently using "erotic capital" can help you get ahead in the workplace.

Go ahead, be sexy at work. Be flirtatious. It may seem like it sets feminism back 1,000 years to say it, but the fact is, in a male-dominated industry, one of the smartest things a woman can do is use her feminine wiles to rise to the top.
