Why Its OK to Break New Years Resolutions, Life Goals

Why It's OK to Break New Year’s Resolutions, Life Goals If you’re one of the 50% of Americans who made a New Year’s resolution this year, chances are you’ve already failed. It’s OK. So have I. In fact, I broke my resolution (to pack a lunch at home, rather than buy a turkey sandwich from the Time Inc. cafeteria everyday) on the very first work day of the year. I initially felt sort of bad about this less-than-auspicious start to 2017, especially considering all of my coworkers were well aware of my #money2017 resolution and gleefully pointed out that the sandwich I was eating was not, in fact, homemade. But I won’t yet deem myself a failure and 2017 a lost cause for personal growth. Here’s why you shouldn’t, either. If you think I’m just another lazy millennial eschewing responsibility, consider this from researchers at the University of Toronto: People are very quick to blame themselves for the deterioration of the diet. People often say to themselves, ‘well, I ran out of willpower, my effort declined, and that explains why my weight took the trajectory that it did.’ Our own belief is that that is not the case, that the reason that your weight loss slows down and stops is more a physiological matter than a matter of willpower. In other words, if you’ve already stopped going to the gym or making your morning coffee at home, it’s not a personal failing or a sign of weakness. And you’re certainly not alone. “People do tend to overestimate other people’s success and what’s possible,” the researchers wrote. A 2009 Harvard Business School working paper (“Goals Gone Wild”), which reviewed well-known research about goals set by managers in the workplace, posits that “the beneficial effects of goal setting have been overstated and that systematic harm caused by goal setting has been largely ignored.” (For a very recent example of the terrible ways goal setting can go astray at work, look at the Wells Fargo fraud fiasco.) Not everything about resolutions is bad, of course. They can help focus us, and giving up smoking, for example, for even a few weeks is a net positive. Studies have advocated for making hyper-specific goals, writing them down, and telling others about them as ways to more easily accomplish things. But as the HBS researchers wrote, “(w)ith goals, people narrow their focus. This intense focus can blind people to important issues that appear unrelated to their goal.” In other words, latching onto a single goal can come at the expense of larger, more comprehensive approach to work. Motivation can decrease as well, as people become narrowly, stubbornly focused on reaching some specific accomplishment. Dr. Karen Lawson, director of the Integrative Health Coaching program at the Center for Spirituality Healing at the University of Minnesota, told CBS News that often people fail because the goals they’re setting aren’t about things that are important to them, but rather to other people. “So the motivation doesn’t come from within but comes from the outside and that doesn’t tend to lead to success,” Lawson said. Considering I resolved to bring my lunch to work because my editor asked for volunteers and not because I had any real desire to do so, I stand by this explanation. Plus, there truly is no such thing as a fresh start. A new wall calendar or the first day of school will not magically transform us into different, more responsible people. Waiting for the arbitrary date of Jan. 1 to do something is just procrastinating. I’m still the same person I was on December 31; you likely are, too. Instead of confining yourself to a certain set of 365 days, focus on working on your goal whenever you can, whether that’s in January or the third week in July. There’s no wrong time to start making yourself a better, healthier person. And besides, I really like our cafeteria’s turkey sandwiches.

Office Fashion How To Stop Confusing Dressy Inappropriate - Work It Daily Do you (or someone you know) have a hard time judging what's appropriate office fashion? You're not alone. Ashley Poulin of SharpHeels.com clears up the confusion as to what's dressy and what's inappropriate for the office. Fashion Challenge: Professionals who confuse “dressy” and “inappropriate.” Not thinking through the business-appropriate nature of what you are wearing (for example, thinking a dress you wore out to a club is acceptable to wear to an interview, or wearing a top that shows too much cleavage). Office Prohibited Knowing what’s appropriate for the office can be difficult and will take some time and investment to learn, but knowing what should never cross the threshold of your office lobby is imperative. SharpHeels Style Guideline Learn what is never appropriate at the office. Check out the quick tips below or watch the video! Cleavage tops â€" It is never appropriate to show too much cleavage at the office. Fortunately, adding a camisole and a blazer or black cardigan can make an “evening” blouse workplace appropriate, but don’t force an evening look for the day. If the top has too much cleavage or is see through, then keep it out of the office. Mini Skirts â€" The name says it all â€" “mini” is just too short for the office. Instead buy a pencil or an A-line skirt that hits just above the knee. Add a great pair of heels to add some sass, but keep those pumps under 4 inches in heel height. Platform Heels â€" also known as (a.k.a) - Hooker Shoes â€" Let’s be honest: 4-inches is as high as you should ever go at the office. Typically, most heels should be 3-4 inches, max. You can add some flair with color pumps â€" burgundy or cobalt blue pumps look great with an A-line black flare dress Too Clingy â€" Your office apparel should be flattering â€" form-fitting is fine, but too tight and you look like a stuffed sausage or a “woman of the night” â€" i.e. it’s definitely no longer appropriate or flattering. Instead wear a figure flattering A-line dress that you will look great in and still be appropriate for the office. Add some accessories to add some color and flare. Remember: Never, ever wear something too tight, too short, or show any cleavage tops.

200 Years Is Too Long My Takeaways from Galvanize 2019

200 Years Is Too Long My Takeaways from Galvanize 2019 Brace yurself a recent study found that women are 73% mora likely to passiv in a car accident than men, according to the University of Virginia.Why? Its because crash test dummies are modeled based on men. This tragic and seemingly easily correctable problem caught my attention because it was emblematic of the challenges that impede the progredienz of women in Corporate America. These real challenges were the primary topics of discussion at the third annual Galvanize Making Womens Resource Groups Powerful event from Fairygodboss last week.According to the World Economic Forum, at our current pace of progress, we are mucksmuschenstill mora than 200 years away from achieving gender equality in the workplace. One reason for this unacceptable statistic is that women as well as underrepresented minorities go to work every day in an environment that was built to address the needs and behaviors of white straight men. Workplaces have not yet been adjusted to be made safe or effective for people who do not fit that mold.Our annual Galvanize summit is designed to engage conversation among and make connections between womens employee resource groups at large U.S. corporations. The objective each year is to exchange actionable ideas and drive collaboration so that we can help make resource groups more effective and radically accelerate the pace of progress toward gender equality.This years event, which took place in New York City on October 29-30, featured some truly amazing speakers, which were particularly impressive due to their experience, knowledge and diversity in many ways Bozoma Saint John, CMO of William Morris Endeavor, Anne Chow, CEO of ATT Business, Joe Ucuzoglu, CEO of Deloitte, David Kenny, CEO and Chief Diversity Officer of Nielsen, Janeen Uzell, COO of Wikimedia, Ashley T Brundage, Vice President of Diversity Inclusion at PNC Bank, plus otzu sich gender diversity thought leaders including Annie J ean-Baptiste, Head of Product Inclusion at Google, Will Post, Industry Manager of U.S. Marketing Solutions and Jacqui Canney, international Chief People Officer at WPP.The Galvanize 2019 event focused on the theme Engaging Men as Allies, with the understanding that men still dominate the upper ranks of U.S. corporations. According to research conducted by Fairygodboss, 88% of men in the workplace say they want to be male allies, but a full 56% of them say they dont know what to do to be a male ally.The geschftsleben case for workplace gender equality has been decisively proven. According to McKinsey Company, diverse workplaces can result in 35% better wertmiger zuwachs. Other experts including Morgan Stanley have connected gender diverse management teams with higher stock price performance over time.Recently, Melinda Gates published an OpEd in Time committing $1 billion to promoting gender equality. She implores us to act now, while gender diversity is highly topical. A window of o pportunity has opened, she said. Even so, there is no reason to believe this moment will last forever or that this window will stay open as long as we need it to. If were going to act, we have to act now.So, what actions can corporations take in 2020 to rapidly advance gender equality while this window is open? Here are my five biggest takeaways from the Galvanize 2019 event1. Build a new neutral.I was deeply impacted by words from Daisy Auger-Dominguez, who said, We have employees who are walking into organizations that havent been created with them in mind. As we think about building workplaces that enable people from all backgrounds and experiences and yes, genders to flourish, we have to be hyper-aware of the fact that fruchtwein U.S. corporations were built to accommodate predominantly white men.Will Post, Industry Manager of US Marketing Solutions, FacebookSo what would change look like? Well, for one thing, we have to find a new neutral. Will Post, the Industry Manager of U.S. Marketing Solutions at Facebook, gave a show-stopping presentation about his own journey as a male ally. He completed his presentation with a quote from comedian Hannah Gadsby who said, This is the first time that white straight cis-gender men have been forced to think of themselves as anything other than human neutral. In order to radically advance diversity in the workplace, we must redefine neutral to consider us all.Alison Vorsatz, Senior Sales Director of Fairygodboss (left) with David Kenny, CEO and Chief Diversity Officer at Nielsen (right)David Kenny, CEO of Nielsen, has planted a firm stake in the ground to address this issue by also taking on the title of Chief Diversity Officer. Kenny said that understanding diversity and inclusion is essential to driving performance and innovation for his corporation, which is why he has made this a top priority. Kenny has taken radical action within his walls to ensure that all executive compensation considers how managers are work ing to advance diversity, and also requires all executives to serve as sponsors for employee resource groups.If were not thinking about processes, systemic institutional issues and the way we think about people, our inclusion efforts will fail, said Shuchi Sharma, the Global Head and VP Gender Equality Intelligence at SAP. The clear takeaway from Galvanize was that companies that successfully recalibrate neutral will be the ones to thrive and succeed in the future.2. Improve communications in both directions.Sadly, the biggest challenge to the advancement of women and underrepresented minorities at work is likely a lack of understanding of the experiences of people who are not like us.And yet, the more we open ourselves up and be willing to have authentic or maybe even awkward conversations, the more context we can gather about where others are coming from.Georgene Huang, Co-Founder of Fairygodboss (left) with Ashley T Brundage, VP of Diversity Inclusion at PNC Bank (right)At Gal vanize, Ashley T Brundage, VP of Diversity and Inclusion at PNC Bank, recounted her story of interviewing for a job after a recent gender transition to become a woman. I was greeted with doors slammed in my face and people telling me that they would never hire anyone like me. Hearing a story like hers firsthand can help hiring managers build empathy and a broader sense of understanding for candidates of all backgrounds.With regard to hiring, Brigid McMahon from IBM reiterated how important it is for hiring managers to assess complete person. If someone is qualified for a position, but not technically off the charts, they can often be better for your team because they bring a diversity of backgrounds and ideas, says Brigid McMahon, the Global Talent Acquisition Director at IBM.Similarly, Matthew Richards from Cognizant urges us to challenge the norms when we think about candidates, and ask hard questions like why do we think that this person is the best fit? or why was this candidate excluded?Leaders from Robert Half, Honeywell, IBM, Salesforce and Cognizant discuss talent attraction, and employer brandThe takeaway Allyship depends on two-way conversations. As Celeste Warren, VP of HR and Global Diversity and Inclusion at Merck said, If we dont involve allies into the conversation, we dont create a culture of inclusion where everyone can be heard.And Jimmy Etheredge, Accenture Chief Executive of North America reminded that we all need to be seen, safe, connected and confident. We all need to think about how to accomplish this for all of our colleagues at work each and every day.3. We are all in charge of diversity.A consistent themes throughout Galvanize was that we must all be deliberate and consistent in our advocacy of diversity and inclusion. Sharing her personal journey from an immigrant family to a corporate executive, CEO of ATT Business Anne Chow implored us all to be the change, and when we achieve status, we must pay it forward.Award-winning marketing executive Bozoma Saint John, who is CMO at William Morris Endeavor, spoke about her experience becoming the Chief Brand Officer of Uber shortly after the company faced a major scandal about its treatment of female employees. Saint John said that despite the fact that it had nothing to do with her job, she was constantly assumed to be head of diversity for the company -- simply because she was a black woman.And yet, she reminds us - we all have to be in charge of diversity in every room, every day if we are ever to make meaningful structural changes.Colleen Finnegan, Senior Manager of Employer Brand at Instacart and LGBTQ+ advocate, reminds us that we have to always ask the question, whose voices are missing here?And, with all the endless talk and lack of progress on the diversity front, Janeen Uzell, COO of Wikimedia puts it bluntly, Our SayDo ratio has to go up.4. The measure of success is equality for everyone.Bozoma Saint John poignantly reminded the audience at Galvanize that g ender equality is not complete once white women have achieved it. Latina Equal Pay Day is in November -- thats almost a whole extra year she admonished the crowd.For every 100 men, only 72 women are promoted. For black women, its even worse. And for Latina women, its worse than that, said Mekala Krishna a senior fellow at the McKinsey Global Institute when discussing their 2019 Women in the Workplace report.As champions for equality, we have to always consider and represent the least equal among us. We cant just make this about checking a box, said David Kenny of Nielsen. True equality must take the experience of all employees into account, and be led prominently from the top.5. Use data to fight fatigue.Lastly, speakers including Chow and Krishnan acknowledged that per Gates fears, some degree of fatigue with the topic of gender equality may be taking hold.And yet, there is more data than ever available to help guide our advocacy of diversity. To start, data proves unequivocally th e business case for gender equality, as shared by Krishnan. She emphasized that diversity is not just the right thing to do, its the smart thing to do.Ana Recio, EVP Global Recruiting for Salesforce, talked about the ways in which todays data collection capabilities can support diversity efforts more than ever before. To attract female talent, you have to start with the data, she said. Understand what your goals are around hiring and promoting women and then look at those metrics each month.Experts from Fast Company, HPE, the Wikimedia Foundation, Google and Grubhub discuss the state of women in technology todayDiversity cant come off the table when times get hard, warned Annie Jean-Baptiste, Head of Product Inclusion at Google. We have to remember that diversity initiatives will set us up for success in the future, and are never a nice-to-have.We must all emphatically and regularly assert the business case for diversity to drive ongoing buy-in and action from leadership.Despite cha llenges, Jaqui Canney, the Chief Human Resources Officer at WPP is encouraged about where were headed. Im optimistic about the conversations that are happening, she said. CEOs are engaging and are holding themselves accountable in a way that didnt happen 20 years ago.Melinda Gates has presented us with a burning platform. The window is open now and we have to act quickly if we are to make meaningful change. We have to consider context, open up the dialogue, and advocate for diversity in every room and under every circumstance. And we must all work together as human beings.Only with the most collaborative, smart and deliberate efforts can we radically accelerate the 200-year timeline to achieving diversity.About FairygodbossFairygodboss co-founders Georgene Huang (left) and Romy Newman (right)Fairygodboss is the largest career community for women.

How School Districts Can Use Video Interviewing to Recruit Outstanding Teachers - Spark Hire

How School Districts Can Use Video Interviewing to Recruit Outstanding Teachers - Spark HireThough video interviewing was first associated with high-tech businesses, its actually becoming a widely accepted way to recruit new talent, while saving money and time. For school districts, its an especially useful method for finding new teachers. Here are some reasons why school districts can benefit from utilizing video interviewing technology in their hiring processIt prevents teachers who are currently employed from having to take time off during the year to come interview A teacher whos currently employed but looking to move to a new district in another city or state no longer has to request time off and find a substitute in buchen to travel for an interview. They can now do a video interview at their convenience. It allows them to apply for the desired job, without inconveniencing their current district or students.It saves the district money Instead of having to pay to fly teachers in from all over for a short conversation, the district can simply conduct a video interview. Over time, this can save them a tremendous amount of money.It allows those who are still in school to interview Young teachers who are still in school often have a hard time because theyre juggling class and student teaching as they travel for interviews. This allows them to do the necessary interviews without disrupting work or their studies.It prevents administrators from having to stay late In many instances, teacher interviews have to take place after hours, as those who need to sit in on these interviews are working with students during the day. This can become a major scheduling inconvenience and can delay the hiring process. Video interviews (particularly one-ways) dont require both parties to be present at the same time, so juggling of schedules is no longer an issue. If the candidate records their answers to interview questions in the afternoon, an administrator can review their one- way video interview later in the day when its convenient for them.In some cases, a school district may opt to do phone interviews to save resources. While effective, phone interviews dont give as accurate a picture into who the candidate really is. With a video interview, you can see a candidates face and body language as they talk. Opting to use this software gives those involved with hiring a more three-dimensional look at the potential hire before they make a final decision.Image Wavebreak Media Ltd/BigStock.com

How to Handle Being More Ambitious Than Everyone Else - The Muse

How to Handle Being More Ambitious Than Everyone Else - The MuseHow to Handle Being More Ambitious Than Everyone Else Dont you think youre taking on way too much? Its a question that Ive heard often over the last few years- and it only gets increasingly aggravating each time its asked. Whats wrong with being ambitious and wanting mora? Doesnt anyone else feel the way I do?Luckily, yes. Marie Forleo, a life coach and generally awesome person, recently published a great article (and subsequent video) about why people say that youre taking on too much. Her reasons were straightforward Theyre either not as motivated as you are, or theyre trying to show concern for your well-being. If the problem isnt the latter, whats an ambitious professional to do? Unfortunately, the answer is not to magically transform the people around you and turn them all into go-getters. Instead, its to find a new tribe of people who are just like you. 1. Find a (Small) Networking GroupTheres a trick to finding a useful networking group that many people dont know- the more specific it is, the better. For example, when I first started looking into networking groups geared toward entrepreneurship, it was really intimidating- the sheer number of people at these shindigs overwhelmed me. I went to one event with well over 100 people, and I walked away with a stack of business cards, but approximately zero promising connections.Once I gave more thought to what I was really looking for, I hit two jackpots The Lady Project and bSmart Guide. Both connected me to (a much smaller group of) smart, driven, and successful women who are just as motivated as I am. Theyve given me a lot enthusiastic peers, amazing mentors, and a number of awesome experiences- like getting to speak at The Lady Projects summit last year Its an ambitious professionals dream.2. Get Active on Social MediaIntimidated by in-person networking? Thats OK. Social media is a great go-to if youre looking for people who share your passion and excitement. Like finding a networking group, the trick is to get specific. After all, there are over 360 million users on LinkedIn and over 230 million people on Twitter, so the more youre able to whittle those numbers down, the easier it gets.Need a little help finding your perfect online networking spot? There are plenty of places to get started. On Twitter, this detailed chat list is your best friend. Oh, and this post from Sprout Social can help you narrow down your hashtag choices. For LinkedIn, two great places to begin are industry and alumni groups (Lily Zhang has a helpful post about finding LinkedIn communities worth your time here).A note to keep in mind Some of the best social media networking opportunities are those that are a little exclusive (i.e., not letting in every single person who requests to join). So, dont be discouraged if youre not invited in- instead, take it as a sign that you need to get more niche. 3. Be Open to Helping OthersAmbitious people often get so wrapped up in their own goals that they forget that others are also trying to accomplish big things. In doing so, they miss important opportunities to connect with like-minded people. Which is a shame, because people will always want to help people who helped them. Its a clich, but its also true. Regardless of the industry someone is working in, if you find a fellow ambitious professional who wants to do things, offer to help that person. Never underestimate the power of small favors when building relationships, especially with motivated and enthusiastic people. For example, I once helped a PR contact get in touch with a magazine editor for her client, and several days later, she offered to help with my websites PR for free. Pretty sweet deal, right?Being ambitious and motivated is an awesome thing, so dont let anyone tell you otherwise. Instead, find the people who are going to inspire you to do even more.Photo of hiker courtesy of Shutterstock.
