Trying to juggle Olympic training with the demands of running a small business can be grueling. For some of the athletes, training during the peak winter months is so intense and time-consuming that the business often gets pushed to the sidelines. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703630404575053551039 http://www.thecorporateplaybook.com/huddle/index.php?tid=614 614 Tue, 9 Feb 2010 06:57:19 MST One of the most important interview MISTAKES a candidate does when choosing a potential Employer is not to ASK the right questions in an interview. You must value your own worth as the interview is a two way street, thus neglecting to understand the Company culture and how your skill set and talent fit, is a potential mindfield.

But we ended up doing really well as a team, and we made it to the state quarterfinals, and it was http://www.thecorporateplaybook.com/huddle/index.php?tid=610 610 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 20:43:22 MST Employment Future: The Decade Ahead In Jobs -Interactive Graph http://bit.ly/8qWufO http://www.thecorporateplaybook.com/huddle/index.php?tid=609 609 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 10:45:53 MST by Jodi Glickman Brown Last week, more evidence emerged in the Securities and Exchange Commission's debacle over the mishandling of the Bernie Madoff über-fraud.

Yet after he finished first this month at a World Cup race here, reporters swarming around him didn't ask about his kicker, his twister or his daffy, as moguls tricks are known. They asked about his high-tech business. "Guys, sorry," Steve Devosich, Mr. Begg-Smith's coach, told them.

I operated out of my home, and when I wasn't traveling I had a fair amount of downtime that nee http://www.thecorporateplaybook.com/huddle/index.php?tid=602 602 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 21:28:32 MST The past 12 months will be remembered by many investors and executives as some of the most dismal.

So to your point, by staying focused on the actual task at hand we can minimize the need to prioritize. http://www.thecorporateplaybook.com/huddle/index.php?tid=590 590 Tue, 19 Jan 2010 08:11:14 MST Many workers who lost jobs in the hardest-hit sectors of the economy are now looking to change careers.
