It is Time to Tame Tense Times!

Tame tense times. You can by taking pro-active steps to reduce the tension and take care of business!

As we become aware of the fear that is quickly building in our economy, it is important to have tactics that will help you reduce stress and keep you calm and clear-headed. The number of folks trying to sell us things on the telephone is increasing. People are afraid of not being paid, so, they are quickly jumping on us at the first hint of lateness. The other evening I got a call from Blockbuster--across the street--telling me that I had a bill that was two weeks old. Two weeks old! That's just nuts. What was also nuts was that I did not have overdue movies and they had made a mistake. That's what anxiety produces.

In the workplace, fear creates anxiety which leads to lost time, talent, tempers and profits. Irritability rises, conflict flares and days away from work increase.
