Empowerment in Your Hands
By Joni Daniels

You can take on a new client, project or service and manage the impact it has on the rest of the business by taking some time to plan for the shift of work. Create a timeline over which you will phase in the new and reallocate the existing work. Delegate the things that people can be trained to do and follow up with them until you are confident that they can handle the new task or workload and things won’t fall between the cracks.

As the temperature drops and we start experiencing the first tinges of the end of summer, warm yourself up from the inside out with wine!

Red wine should always be served at a warmer temperature than white wine – aim for around 15-16 degrees Celsius. The warmer temperature releases the fruity flavor of red wine nicely.

Allowing red wine to breathe is as important as the temperature at which it’s served. Open bottles of red wine several hours before you plan to serve it – this allows the wine to breathe before serving. Be sure to serve red wines in a glass with a wide mouth so that the wine continues to breathe. As with any wine, handle the glass by the stem to maintain the ideal temperature.

An In Box on your desk that never gets to “empty” can be a pothole on the road to peak productivity. Don’t stay stuck in the rut of leaving things undone and not making decisions. This means you are not processing things, and it can be monkey on your back whether you realize it or not. An empty In Box may be scary. Maybe you find a full In Box comforting. But either way, you’re hampering your productivity. Ask yourself why you procrastinate on making these decisions. Is it because you don’t know what to do with it or where to put it? Is it expired by now? Is it trash? Should someone else take action? Ask yourself these questions and then take action. Create places for things you need IN your office or get it OUT of your office. Get that In Box empty and get back on the road to peak productivity!
