Get Noticed by Your Boss
Author: Hospitality Biz  | Posted: 05-05-2008 | Comments: 0 | Views: 9 | Rating: (131)  (?) 
The first step towards getting noticed by your boss is to increase your value. You get compensated not just by hard work, but also by the value you add to the world around you. Hence strive towards becoming a more valuable person to your work environment.
It is essential to acquire skills that others in the organisation do not possess. For this, you have to read the books missed by others and come up with ‘out of the box’ concepts. In other words, you need to be more in life to get more from life.
Take decisions
Your life is a sum total of all the decisions that you have taken in your life. Hence you should develop strong decision making skills to sustain your career in the new economy.
By making a decision, you will come to know whether you have taken a right decision or not. With this approach, even if you err, you will correct the wrong decision taken. In other words, you will help your boss take the right decisions.
Communicate well
Communication means not just talking to others, but also the ability to properly write and listen. Communicate to your boss and subordinates to ensure that the receiver or the listener understands it the way you meant it to be.
Cultivate the ability to listen to people. Through attentive listening you can obtain information which you might miss if you were doing all the talking.
Always provide solutions
Be solution-oriented as opposed to being problem-oriented. You must be able to think in terms of solutions when faced with a crisis. Do not get perturbed with impediments which come in the way.
You should not just identify a problem, but design the best solution to solve it. For this you need to be intelligent, experienced and up to date with the latest developments. In other words, I’m referring to problem solving skills.
Develop administrative abilities
Be a great planner and thinker to help your boss frame plans or policies. Simple as it might sound, it is not very easy.
It requires tremendous acumen in oneself to sharpen administrative skills. Further, you also need to work within organisational limits. Policies and plans drawn have to be necessarily implemented so that the organization consistently gains in terms of productivity.
Accept responsibility
Responsibility begins when you take full and complete control over your conscious mind’s content. The interesting thing about responsibility is that the more you start to take responsibility, the more responsible you feel.
As you start to feel increasingly responsible, you move more rapidly towards accomplishment of things that are important to you. Alongside this, you will also see yourself moving on the fast track. This definitely makes your boss take note.
Strive for excellence
Today’s job market pays excellent returns for excellence in performance, products and services. Hence commit to excellence in your work, especially in your key areas and core competencies.
Resolve commitments to achieve nothing less than top performance. This will not only make others notice you (your boss included), but also move you into the career fast lane.
Care for your customers
The present role that you play in the work environs determines how your internal and external customers treat you. Take excellent care of your customers and once you start to touch their emotions, you will surge ahead.
Your customers at the work place are your subordinates, colleagues and bosses. with whom you have not only to vibe but touch their emotions. Human beings move when their emotions are moved.
Connect
Career success is all about selling and your expertise on this front. You may be qualified and experienced, but to move ahead in your career you need to distinctly display your attributes.
It is essential to start connecting yourself emotionally--with your boss, subordinates at work and devoted customers in the market. This helps you carve a unique place for yourself and inspire clients. It also moves the hearts of internal customers (boss, subordinates and colleagues at the work place), whom you work with.
Human beings are bundle of emotions and your boss is no exception. Hence you can capture the hearts of both these internal and external customers with these strategies.

I am 17 and when I was 13 I was molested...
By: Miss_Me | 13-07-2008
I am 17 and when I was 13 I was molested by a teacher over the period of a year. I have seen counselors and whatnot but I still don't know the extent of what happened as I (apparently) blocked out memories (eg. only remembering walking into a classroom and then the next thing I know I'll be leaving ten minutes after the bell). I would have panic attacks and nightmares and it would only be then I've get snippets of what happened but I'm doubting my own memory and don't wish to make false claims, if my mind is filling in the blanks incorrectly.Is what he did punishable by law? My school pretty much swept it under the rug because they're seen as an "up there" school and the only thing they did was change my classes and berate him and my parents didn't want me to change schools because of what happened because then "he would have won". I also know that a similar thing happened to a lesser extent to my friend but she was too scared to come forward. Does anyone have any advice? Please? Also, I don't know how to respond properly to sexual contact and have been unable to maintain relationships if the guy moves anywhere past a kiss. I know, in my head, nothing will happen and I'm meant to enjoy it or something but all I can remember is foreign, unwanted hands and feeling absolutely petrified. I know what I'm feeling isn't normal. Help?Also, I don't know how to shake off the stigma that's been attached to me as I told one of my "friends" in confidence why I had changed classes and she told a skewed version of it and now people think I am "an attention seeking, manipulative slut" (their words) and the idea has stuck since then. Any idea how I can set them straight without spilling my personal life? Any advice appreciated.I know this is long - I'm really sorry, but I've never been able to ask anonymously for help before and this isn't even the half of it :(Thanks for any advice, in advance :)

Dependent Personality Disorder?
By: wendi | 09-07-2008
My ten year old stepdaughter was adopted. Her adoptive mother died when the child was 3 years old. Now she can't do anything on her own. She can't make even minor decisions like what to wear. When she is asked a question or is asked to do something she will just stand there and stare like you are speaking another language. She constantly wants to be near her dad. I understand that it was hard losing a mother at three years old, but how do i get her to become more independent with minor decisions?
