Understanding Job Stress and How To Deal With It:
Copyright 2005 Trevor DumbletonAmong the most common types of stress is good old-fashioned job stress and it is easy to understand why. With the economic slow-down of the last few years, employers are trying to squeeze more and more work out of their employees in order to keep their costs low and their production high. As well, with the concerns over lay-offs and downsizing, it seems that overwork is no cure for concerns about job security. Thus, the long hours, low pay, and tenuous nature of employment combine to create a situation where there is nothing you can count on except stress i. . .

Coaching Generation X:
It has been said that Generation X is the most ignored, misunderstood, and disheartened generation our country has seen in a long time. No one can define who belongs to Generation X. While most agree that there is a generation after the Boomers, no one agrees on who it is. In a September 23, 1996, article in USA Today, six experts defined Generation X, each with a different answer. They ranged anywhere from those born between 1961 to 1981 (78 to 85 million) to those born between 1965 to 1976 (46 million). Although Generation X appears to be the accepted term, other labels have been applied.. . .

Thinking of applying for DIB Benefits?:
As the publisher of a website devoted to issues for the disabled, and as one who receives occasional mail from claimants, one thing stands out amazingly loud and clear: too many disability claimants are waiting way too long to get their applications going.In fact, it's almost stunning how many people are out there in their forties, fifties, even in their late fifties, with significant physical and/or mental impairments and yet have not filed for help.I don't use the word stunning lightly, either. In the last few years, I've been, in varying capacties, in daily contact with claimants (severa. . .

Everyone knows the importance of having a positive attitude, especially in the health insurance industry. Even negative people say that they have a positive attitude.All agents have seen it one time or another.

Finally one agent says, "calling your husband, huh?" to which she quickly responds, "No! Setting appointments." She’s obviously protecting or insuring her ‘good attitude’. She’s making sure that the outside influence of a m. . .

Does Your Government Really Care if You Become Disabled:
Does your government really care if you are disabled? That's a question that is becoming more and worthy of the public's consideration.Recently, I was on the phone with a claimant who needs to have his recon filed and I asked him if he had been seen by any doctors recently. He gave the all too common answer: "No, I haven't been able to go. My insurance ran out a long time ago".This is a very common situation. And I've heard it so much that I've become somewhat desensitived to it. But...if you really think about it, these situations (which ARE extremely common) are horrendous.Let me put on m. . .

How An Executive Can Spot Creative Potential in Others:
