Individuals dealing with catastrophic injuries and health problems often need an advocate to help them effectively deal with all the issues surrounding this type of serious situation. Life care planners bridge the gap between the medical and legal communities helping patients and their families cope with these issues and provide and maintain the best quality of life possible for the patient.Who Can Become A Life Care Planner?Life Care Planning requires a particular
1. Being late-Timing is everything, particularly when it comes to reviews. Even positive reviews that are delivered late can have a negative impact on an employee’s morale.
Late reviews tell employees “I have more important things to do than provide you with feedback.” You don’t want to send that message to employees who are meeting expectations, and you certainly don’t want to send that message to your star performers. Re-adjust your plans and deliver reviews on time.
2. Using reviews to provide feedback for the first time-Picture this scenario: an employee is sitting at the edge of her chair waiting to receive what she believes will be a glowing review. Then, boom. Her manager cites five areas where her performance has been substandard. The employee sits in disbelief. After the first two comments, all she hears is “blah, blah, blah!”
This scenario happens everyday. Why? Too many supervisors and managers wait until review time to provide employees with any feedback. Tell employees how they are doing on a continuous basis so they know where they stand.
3. Winging it-Too many supervisors and managers fail to prepare properly for the performance review. They check some boxes on the form; write a few comments and send it off to the boss or human resources for final approval. Then it’s time for lunch.
Delivering a performance review requires more than filling out a performance appraisal form. Conducting a good review requires careful preparation. Decide what you are going to say, and how you are going to say it. Take your time when delivering the news, and put aside ample time to respond to the employee’s questions regarding your assessment.
4. Telling white lies-It’s not uncommon to sugar coat bad reviews. Some supervisors and managers believe they are doing employees a favor by sparing their feelings.
Employees can’t be expected to improve their performance if they have no idea they are failing. Be truthful. In the end, the employee will thank you.
5. Talking at the employee-Reviews are a great time to open dialogue between employees and their managers. It should not be a one-way conversation where managers are viewed as talking heads.
Train supervisors and managers on how to draw employees into the conversation. The ultimate goal is to provide feedback, and feedback should be a two-way communication.
6. Failing to plan for the future-Often times, supervisors and managers tell employees that they will meet again to discuss the employee’s career development and future with the company. Unfortunately, this time rarely happens.
Assuming the review is a favorable one, begin discussing future opportunities and career direction right then.

The short answer is yes. No person is an island and no one has all of the specialized skills or answers needed to open or run a successful business. Your business represents one of the single biggest investments of time and money that you’ll ever make. Trying to go it alone is a penny wise, pound foolish decision. Try to go it alone and at best you’ll be leaving profit on the table. At worst, you’ll blunder your way to failure. I’m not saying you need to blow every spare cent hir

A couple of weeks ago I attended an event planners Christmas function. The turnout was decent, there was no shortage of skewered prawns or celebratory cocktails and a good amount of effort had gone into the costumes worn by circulating serving staff.A few minutes into it however, I noticed one lady propped on a bar stool, looking tired and unimpressed. An ex-planner, with a career lifetime in the industry, she commented "They always get it wrong with the music at the beginning of
