Did you know that your awareness of time has a direct impact on your social intelligence? It’s easy to spot someone with poor awareness of time. They talk longer than what seems necessary in a meeting, they’re difficult to get off the phone, and they don’t get anywhere quickly (be it to an appointment, the point of a conversation, etc.). They are your classic time wasters.

Guest post by Suzanne Weinstein (learn more about Suzanne at the end of this post).

Not only are we being under extreme pressure from the job, but we are also feeling the added pressure of not having support from our direct supervisors and bosses. In fact, the ones that we rely on the most to be our support system can be, in a very real way, responsible for making matters worse.

. Today I shake my finger at FedEx, because they should know better. Earlier this week, I was sending a laptop in for service and I needed to schedule a pick up. Everything was going great until I needed to change some information on the delivery bill. It turns out that I couldn’t make the changes on the website, so I called their customer service line.

View this video: NBC Nightly News Piece: Women Helping Economy by Kate Snow. The role of women in society is undergoing a continuous makeover. There are leadership lessons in every situation every day. Think about this: 60 percent of women work and we comprise 46 percent of the labor force, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Women now occupy 51, yes; you read correctly, 51 percent of managerial and professional jobs.
