Upon the completion of my 200-mile Ragnar Road Michigan race, I was awarded a medal. Every person who crossed the finish line received one as well. The cool thing about the Ragnar Road Michigan race is that the 12 medals the team receives contain a message. Individually, the messages may not make much sense. Combined, they tell a story. Yet, the medal I received contained a quote that I love to live by.

This isn’t ‘kissing up’ or playing the corporate game — these are simple techniques you can try to earn your boss’s trust and show them that you are a valuable team member. Remember, if you’re not doing them, your teammates probably are. Meet deadlines and deliver high-quality work. One of the most important ways to gain their trust is to consistently meet and produce work that meets or exceeds their expectations.

While data suggests that mobility is generally on the wane across the United States, there remain many that do move to a new location each year. Their reasons for doing so are varied, and include college, a new job, divorce, or even climate change and natural disasters. Research from San Diego State University highlights how the Covid pandemic was another factor in our decision to move or not.

Working as an independent contractor means that you’re not technically employed by a company. This makes injury cases very difficult to prosecute as negligence needs to be proven on their part for you to get compensation. If the circumstances around an injury are murky, proving who was the negligent party will be harder to prove. But it’s not impossible if you take the proper steps to document the incident, know who to hold responsible and work with the right people.

Ageism in the workplace is a reprehensible and unjust reality for many people over 50. They are often judged and dismissed based on their age, rather than their qualifications and abilities. Society tells us that with age comes wisdom, yet in the workplace, it seems to be a hindrance rather than an asset. It is disheartening that individuals who have spent their entire lives working and contributing to society, are now facing the unfair discrimination and marginalization.

I know about myself as a leader that I can be guilty of having a million “good” ideas. I also know that can be dangerous as a leader. I’m a self-proclaimed idea guy. I can see so much we could or should be doing and I want to do them all now.

We perform several routines each day without even thinking about them. In fact, I wake up approximately the same time each morning, grab a cup of coffee (like my life depends on it), and check my email every few minutes. The problem is that some of our routine activities are counterproductive. Clearly, poor habits lead to poor results. The upside of autopilot is that you don’t waste valuable time thinking about mundane activities — enabling you to focus on things that matter.
