Teacher’s Pet…or Class Clown?

Kids are settled back in school…

…and adults are settled back at work. We’ve traded in flip-flops for boots and are hunkering down in our offices and getting stuff accomplished.

What else have you done in the past three weeks to get a solid start on the new “semester?” I’ve been catching up on reading (both for business and pleasure) and teaching myself some new tech skills. I launched a fresh weekly e-blast, lined up a couple of speaking gigs and wrote new business proposals. I made some new “after-school” friends and made plans for cocktails and dinner (which sure beats milk and cookies). I’ve even made a point of not cutting gym class, working out at least three times a week.

Even if you’ve started to slack-off and flunk out, you have time to get back on track before the year ends. Just set a few simple goals and stick to them. Avoid the delinquent crowd and adopt better study habits.

After all, who wants to be the business dunce?

	Habits of productive people
	How to (and not to) make friends at work
	Make new contacts, but don’t be a conference crasher!
	How after-work activities can help you at work.
