For Some Bosses, the Job Suffers When Work-Life Balance Gets Out of Whack - The Juggle ... - 0 views

  •  
    "We've written before about bosses who have gotten fed up with the demands of the juggle and have made changes to their workplaces to relieve some of the pressures. But is it possible to have a boss who takes work-life balance to such an extreme that "life" outweighs "work"?"

Stressed Out? Slack Off - The Juggle - WSJ - 0 views

  •  
    "Are slackers more adept at handling work-life stress than type-A go-getters? A new study finds that may be the case. Those who cope with work-family conflict by becoming busier and looking for more resources to solve problems - type-A multitaskers - actually experience more stress and strain, says the study in the Journal of Applied Psychology. The researchers studied 193 people who were all combining work and college studies with family duties."

Is the 'Mommy Track' Still Taboo? - The Juggle - WSJ - 0 views

  •  
    "In Saturday's WSJ, writer Virginia Postrel has a retrospective on the "Mommy Track." She takes us back to a controversial 1989 Harvard Business Review article by Felice N. Schwartz called "Management Women and the New Facts of Life." Schwartz started with the fact that not all working women want the same things. Some are chiefly career-focused, making "the same trade-offs traditionally made by the men who seek leadership positions." However, most women want children, Schwartz wrote, and "are willing to trade some career growth and compensation for freedom from the constant pressure to work long hours and weekends.""

When Negativity Infects Your Office - The Juggle - WSJ - 0 views

  •  
    "In my experience, few factors have a bigger impact on the juggle than the emotional climate where you work. At a previous employer years ago, the prevailing employee attitude was ceaseless, simmering resentment and cynicism over ever-rising workloads and a lack of recognition to us for shouldering the burden. I tried to keep an optimistic attitude there, but a fierce desire to get out drove me to work weekends and holidays to land a better job at a better place to work. When I did, my energy for family and personal life soared."

The Last Days of Cubicle Life - The Future of Work - TIME - 0 views

  •  
    When Frank Lloyd Wright unveiled the Johnson Wax Building in 1939, it showcased a new way of looking at work. One room, covering half an acre (0.2 hectare), was filled with women, lined up in rows, typing. Work didn't necessarily mean loud, dirty factories, but it still involved sitting in orderly rows, doing orderly work for a finicky boss.

The National Career Development Association - 0 views

  •  
    Traditionally, career counseling has focused on career exploration, career redirection, assessment, education/ training, job search skills and placement. Little consideration has been given to the complex emotional dynamics of grief associated with job loss. Understanding grief in the context of job loss and lifestyle adjustment is particularly important when clients are confronting a major life change. Oftentimes, an overwhelming sense of loss distracts or impedes a person's readiness to conduct a job search or effectively move forward with a positive career-life change. Career Counselors working with clients who are experiencing a job or career loss compounded by the need to adjust lifestyle expectations need to comprehend the grief process if they are to empower their clients to succeed.

The Dalai Lama and Career Transition - NCDA - 0 views

  •  
    "I was privileged to hear His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama speak as he accepted the International Freedom Conductor Award in Cincinnati, Ohio in October 2010. As a career coach, I reflected on his words to see how these might apply to life and work, especially for those in a life or career transition. These ideas are applicable to both career coaches and clients alike."

Women Will Rule Business - The Future of Work - TIME - 0 views

    Work-life balance. In most corporate circles, it's the sort of phrase that gives hard-charging managers the hives, bringing to mind yoga-infused, candlelit meditation sessions and - more frustratingly - rows of empty office cubicles.

  •  
    One of my favorite Millennials is graduating from college next month, and it occurs to me that he, like millions of others from the so-called Godless Generation, could benefit from some sage counsel before entering the workforce.So while the world may view us crusty Gen-Xers as all but done, holding on for dear life while awaiting our sure and inevitable Millennial takedown (or is it shakedown?), I say "Bah! You've still got lots to learn from us, kids."For example…Follow Instructions. Getting ahead at work is nearly impossible if you can't follow instructi

Workplace Bullying: New York Bill Targets Abusive Bosses - TIME - 0 views

  •  
    "There are some very important things they don't tell you on career day. Chief among them is that there is a good chance that at some point during your working adult life you will have an abusive boss - the kind who uses his or her authority to torment subordinates. Bullying bosses scream, often with the goal of humiliating. They write up false evaluations to put good workers' jobs at risk. Some are serial bullies, targeting one worker and, when he or she is gone, moving on to their next victim. "

If You Never Leave Your Network You Never Have To "Comeback"--NCDA - 0 views

  •  
    Our careers and our lives are constantly changing. With so many twists and turns it is almost guaranteed that our career plans will not be stagnant. There are many different types of individuals who are moving in/out of a traditional career. Recently the term "comeback parent" has been coined for the parent who has left a paid position outside the home to raise a family, and is now returning to paid external employment. Another example is the graduate student who alternates full time employment with full or part time education. Some leave to take care of an aging relative, start a private practice or a business, attend to personal health issues, or even work part-time from home. While juggling various roles in life, it is important to manage our careers even if it is not currently the highest priority. Networking is an important way to effectively and efficiently tend to your career at all times.
