VIEWS FROM THE TOP
Views From the Top is a radio show that takes a look at the hard hitting issues affecting women in top corporate positions at the top of their game.
To succeed in the business world, you need to have advocates in your corner who will champion you with you or without you around. Women especially need to have a solid set of mentors they can turn to for professional guidance and moral support. We'll be talking about the power of having mentors in the rise up the corporate ladder (for career women), the benefits of having mentors, how to go about getting one (or several), guidelines for building a mentoring relationship and pitfalls to avoid.
THE POWER OF CORE VALUES
Let Your Employees and Your Customers Know What You Stand For
An Ignite White Paper
By Sandra Mader
As we continue to strive within our current economy, it occurred to me that this would be a great time to re-visit and re-commit to the values your organization has in place, or to make the time to establish your core guiding values. No matter what our current journey is as a company, the "way we are being on the journey" must never falter.

If you haven't experienced it yourself, you probably know people who are fearful about losing their job, worried their house may be foreclosed or not being able to pay their monthly bills or kid's college tuition. With all this tension and anxiety, conflict has become more prevalent than ever before, both at home and in the workplace.

LUGGAGE LOST, BUT KINDNESS DISCOVERED
The New York Times
By Grace Andrews and Joan Raymond
I DON'T mind traveling. I've been doing it for some 20 years, and I can take whatever the airlines throw at me.
Back in the day, I used to pack everything I owned. I had tons of suitcases. Nowadays, I pack so light, my bag weighs the same whether I'm on a one-day trip or a five-day trip. As long as I'm somewhat presentable, I figure that I'm O.K.
But being presentable takes on new meaning when your luggage is lost.
