		<description><![CDATA[Even if you currently have a 9-to-5 job, ask yourself if it's what you really want to be doing.  If not, why not consider giving some of your time to an organization within the field that is your true passion?  If you've always wanted to run a dinner theater, offer to do their books and learn the ins and outs of such an operation.]]></description>

Maybe there is an easier way to give the impression that what you do really matters and you are a professional worthy of respect -- just make it LOOK that way.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you say this to a client or customer and genuinely mean it, you are well on your way to developing a long-term professional relationship that is likely to be both profitable and meaningful.  I can't speak enough about how important I think it is to approach every day with gratitude and to look for opportunities to tell others about the positive difference they have made in your life.  It just might be a few kind words from you that remind a customer why they connected with your business in the first place or simply make another human's day a little brighter.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I receive requests at least weekly for advice from job seekers that would like to get involved in Healthcare IT consulting.  As I was reading the latest request the morning it hit me that my advice would be much more valuable if I received input from all of you in the HealthcareITToday.com community!  Twenty thousands heads are definitely better than one!   PLEASE offer your advice so those job seekers will benefit from all of the great minds in the HealthcareITToday.com community.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a career coach, I get asked this question all the time and if I had to give a one word response without any other context, it would generally be "No".  In general, I do not support voluntary unemployment even for just a short time.  However, I do believe that situations can arise where it is ok to quit your current job before securing a new one and I will describe some of those situations for you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You show up to work on time or early every day.  You are always dressed professionally, with necktie and socks coordination that no one could fault.  You offer a firm handshake and remember names better than anyone else in your office.  You offer great ideas to improve the company and make it more profitable.  But, have you thought about the fact that the way you talk could, you know, hold you back in your career?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Giving back to your community and the greater world around all of us is important for so many reasons.  First, it's simply the right thing to do.  And, it's OK to be honest in sharing that sometimes volunteering has the selfish benefit of helping us with networking opportunities and skill growth in our own careers.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the Healthcare IT Market is heating up, do your part to make sure that your company's hiring practices are not being compromised by the need to hire many people quickly.  I know that the pressure is high to get new talented people hired on board and productive in the "ARRA and ICD-10 Environment", but compromising your company's hiring process and standard is only a recipe for disaster.]]></description>
