Note from Sue

It’s time to tie up the bows on 2007 and prepare ourselves for a fantastic 2008!

My wish for all of you during this holiday season is to take time to truly connect with clients, colleagues, suppliers and most importantly, family and friends. The feature article for this newsletter, ‘Tis the Season for Connecting, addresses this theme. It is drawn from the latest issue of Company magazine, a great vehicle for connecting women leaders with helpful resources.

From another vantage point on the power of “connections”, I encourage those of you making job offers to new employees for 2008 to visit my blog. I offer several ideas for fostering connectivity with your new hires…even BEFORE they join your organization. A job offer made in December for a position to start in January leaves the new recruit vulnerable to sharing a sentimental season with familiar folks. How will you create connection with their future employer?

May 2008 be full of opportunities for you to build strong relationships with others. And while you’re at it…don’t forget to plan time to connect with that especially important person in your life…YOU!

Feature Article -  'Tis the Season for Connecting

 

Despite our vast diversity as a country, the Christmas holidays seem to have a prevalent impact on shared festive spirits. Holiday lunches are expected and bosses rarely tap their watches when you return a bit late to the office.
