Write You - Corporate Stress or Boardroom Burnout
India has recently disclosed its plans to spend around $1 billion in a new global trade deal with Africa. Indian Ambassador Amarendra Khatua said that the agreement would consist of the improvement of the mining and oil facilities in Africa's Ivory Coast during the next 5 years. According to the official, his nation has sought to avail of the vast and abundant oil resources of the region through the Gulf of Guinea. Moreover, the Indian government has also considered about building new mining and energy facilities in the area. The new global trade deal would also serve to further fortify the alliance between India and Africa.According to analysts, the global trade deal is vital in India's search for more energy resources outside its territory. Currently, the nation has embarked on looking for more energy and raw materials in order to fuel its rapidly growing economy. India is among the Asian countries that have shown a fas

TOP TEN TIPS TO BEAT CORPORATE STRESS
1. Learn to delegate: you can only do so much in a day. Spread the workload and spread the responsibility.
2. Learn to say 'no'. Often in a busy work environment you are called upon to do work that you are not experienced in, or in an area where you lack training. Learn to say 'no' and keep your stress levels low.
3. If you are in a poor physical working environment, perhaps the office is too hot or cold, it will make you stressed (as you either freeze or swelter). Either turn the air con on or turn the heating up. You will work better and be more productive if you are comfortable.
4. Plan your day; nothing causes more stress than unexpected events. Plan each day with prioritised tasks and stick to them.
5. Learn to switch off for a 15-minute power break each day. Just a 15-minute break will refresh you and lower your stress levels.
6. Avoid caffeine. Although coffee, tea, and other caffeinated drinks taste great, caffeine raises your heart rate and anxiety levels. Drink water instead. Dehydration can lead to migraines and headaches and an inability to concentrate
7. Take regular exercise. If you live within 15 minute
There are four components to every web business. Until you understand them, you’ll never be able to make any money online. Once you understand them, they need be put into practice, if you wish to be successful.The four strategic components that make up every web business are:ProductTechnologyTrafficConversionEvery web business starts with a PRODUCT. If there’s no PRODUCT then there’s no reason for the business to exist. There are two kinds of products that can be sold, physical products and information products. Web businesses focus on informational products because they can be digitized and delivered over the Internet…at almost no cost. In addition, information product businesses can become totally automated…”money machines”.The there are two forms of informational PRODUCTS, other peoples PRODUCTS and your own PRODUCTS. Most web businesses start out selling other people’s
Whether it's the pressure of dealing with tight budgets or preparing for the next board meeting, executive stress can have a negative impact on your performance, decisions and focus.
In today's competitive marketplace, stress suffered by key executives and CEOs can lead to underperformance, lack of motivation, procrastination and lack of stamina and concentration. Worse still, this pressure will affect much more than personal achievement; ultimately the efficiency and development of the whole company can be compromised.
"Common stress inducers are excessive workloads, unrealistic deadlines and targets and 'blame cultures'."
WHAT CAUSES STRESS?
Stress is a reaction to a perceived threat that is either real or imagined. 75%-90% of employee visits to hospitals are stress related. In fact, stress has been strongly linked with many ailments such as hypertension, heart attacks, allergies, backache, skin disorders, anxiety, high blood pressure, headaches and migraines.
Commonly accepted stress inducers within the workplace are excessive workloads, unrealistic deadlines and targets and a 'blame culture' within the company. Stress that is allowed to build within a corporate environment can lead to 'executive burnout', a condition that is primarily caused by how an individual perceives a situation.
Today's society dictates that many of us need to work longer hours in order to keep up with ever-increasing performance targets, but society also needs to remember that the body can only take so much before stress before burnout sets in. Early signs of impending burnout include:
• Anger at those making demands
• Cynicism, negativity and irritability
• Exploding easily at inconsequential things
• Frequent headaches or migraines
• Weight loss or gain
• Insomnia and depression
• Shortness of breath
• Extreme tiredness and fatigue
• Heart palpitations
• Butterflies in the stomach
• Inability to focus
By giving staff the skills they need to perform effectively under pressure, you can help them deal with stress and anxiety, be more positive and committed, and transform their personal beliefs and values to enable your business to grow to its fullest potential.
Unfortunately, however, it is often difficult for a business to run an in-house training programme for key staff whose role does not allow them the time to attend.
INVESTING IN YOUR EMPLOYEES
Most companies understand the need to invest in their employees' welfare, since this approach has tangible benefits in terms of staff retention.
"75%-90% of employee visits to hospitals are stress related."
However, an individual may not suit a group environment, either due to his or her position within the company or because of the perceived stigma of being singled out for special attention. Such a delicate process can often involve office politics, as well, which means that the individual's reaction may be one of being victimised rather than being helped, which will only escalate the feelings of stress.
A personal coaching intervention with a stress management specialist, however, overcomes these difficulties by making the individual feel valued.
STAFF COACHING AND STRESS MANAGEMENT
A session can begin with an informal one-on-one assessment of the needs of the individual, taking the needs of the organisation into account. The individual's goals can be achieved through a carefully designed series of questions in order to fully understand any issues that he or she is experiencing.
Only then can an initial assessment be made as to what form the stress management help will take.
Stressed executives can be taught the essential theory of stress management and shown techniques that will enable them to deal will stress, making it manageable and thereby increasing performance and value to the company.
The most obvious tangible benefit is an enhancement in personal productivity, since employees can focus their minds where they want to go, to achieve results more quickly and effectively.
BOTTOM LINE BENEFITS
Companies that invest in the psychological health and wellbeing of their staff will see the benefits on the bottom line in terms of both increased productivity and long-term employee retention.
Staff that are stress-free (or have manageable stress levels) perform better, work harder and are happier in their work environment and have a long-term commitment to the business.
"When we learn to manage stress we can teach our brains to react with intent rather than through instinct."
Undervalued, overworked personnel won't help your business to be more cost effective. Employers offering an 'Employee Assistance Programme' (EAP) are valued by their staff.
This commitment to staff development can also be an important part of the recruitment process offered as an inducement in the individual's health and wellbeing as a valued member of the team.
When we are highly stressed, we act and react instinctively. Anger often surfaces because we feel threatened or just plain worn out.

There are two Post Offices that I routinely visit. One is the office that delivers my mail and the other is frequently on the path of some daily errands. Many times, I will actually detour to visit that particular Post Office ... why?The Postmistress there is an exceptional human being. Her name is Karyn, but she spells it ... and has a name badge ... as Care’n!!! I hardly need to relate the remainder of this story. But here are some observations. Care’n is warm, friendly, professional, open, honest and, as is so frequently the case with those give to Right Action, excellent at what she does! When there is a line waiting for service, no one complains ... because the atmosphere there is so warm and giving. And when it is your turn for service, you are greeted with a sincere welcome, prompt and efficient service and a glowing, beautiful smile. She loves to be helpful and will go to extremes to accommodate patrons.

So, how do you take your talent and turn it to gold? First, you need to do what a person with a good business talent would do. Research. Instead of just wanting to do things that you want to do, use your creativity to make things that people want buy. This is the most important thing that you can do to be successful at making money with your artistic ability.The truth of the matter is that you do not have to be the best designer in the world to make a lot of money with your designs. You just have to make items that people want to buy. Sometimes things sell that just have a little different twist to them. Sometimes they are common items made into jewelry or furniture or usable art of any kind that people find interesting and buy. We once exhibited at an artistic wholesale show in Philadelphia. The man in the booth across from us was being very successful at selling sterling silver pendants t

Even though there is no formal education for being a medical biller, medical billing itself can be quite complicated. There are enough rules and regulations to turn a sane man into a raving lunatic. The GU0 record does nothing to make the job any easier as it is probably the most complex CMN in the system. In this installment, we cover the GU0 record, picking up with field number 18.GU0 field 18, positions 63 - 70, is the date of last medical exam. This field tells the carrier when the last date it was that the patient saw the doctor who prescribed this CMN. If the last date seen is before the date of the CMN, in some cases the carrier will not pay on the claim. This is why this date is required.GU0 field 19, positions 71 - 78, is the initial date field. This field tells the carrier what the initial date of the CMN is. This is required because if the CMN is a recertification or a revised CMN, the carrier ne

An S corporation is a type of corporation that the IRS recognizes. S corporations follow taxation rules that differ from those that regular corporations follow. A main difference is that S corporations are exempt from double taxation. This is because the owner declares the income a corporation receives in individual tax returns. Corporations are not subjected to taxation of the income. The taxation rules follow those of sole proprietorship and partnership businesses. However, they enjoy the limited liability (protection) corporations receive.To apply for an S corporation status, you need to incorporate your business. To do this, you need to file formal paperwork called the “articles of incorporation” and pay the appropriate fees. Once you have done the necessary steps to incorporate, you will be able to apply for an S corporation tax status. You do so with the IRS by filling out the necessary forms in your state, as well

7. Take regular exercise. If you live within 15 minutes of work try walking or cycling instead of driving. If you live further away go to the gym at least once a week or walk at least 30minutes a day. You will get fit, increase the oxygen in your blood, and be more alert.
8. Keep your sense of humour. Smile. At the end of the day no problem is so great it's worth risking a heart attack over.
9. Introduce monthly stress buster meetings. Sit down with each employee and discuss how things are going. This approach will help cut stress because people will not bottle things up and will feel valued if you lend a sympathetic ear.
10. Remember, your staff are your best asset. Treat them with the respect – the same that you would expect in return – in order to ensure a happy, stress-free working environment.
