Work-Life Balance For Passionate Geeks - #OpenWestJoshua Warren
Work-life balance is touted in job postings everywhere - but what does it really mean? If you’re a passionate developer that’s excited about the technology you work with every day, you probably spend a fair bit of time outside of the office doing something that looks a lot like what you do at work. Even if you’re excited about your work, it’s important to find ways to rest, recharge and disconnect periodically. After spending 7 years building a team of passionate developers, I’ve learned that everyone approaches work-life balance differently, with vastly different results.
As an employee, its very important for you to be happy at your work for your professional and personal growth. If you are not happy at your workplace, then these tips might help you out.

How do good communication skills help organizations succeed?
Nonprofit and for-profit organizations need people with solid business skills. The most important of those skills are:
· the ability to set objectives
· lead or participate in teams

Your ability to convey your message successfully and your ability to maintain a passion for what you do will directly affect your success.
Learning Objective 2
Maintaining Passion for Your Work
How do you find and keep your passion for your work?
Passion and enthusiasm go a long way in the corporate and nonprofit world. People who like what they do are fun to be around, and they inspire others to do and be their best.
Employers prefer people who like what they do because they tend to perform their jobs well, are highly productive, and motivate others. Your passion may start with an interest but it needs to be nurtured and sustained.
Many people find their passion for their work is sustained by:
· the ability to pursue what they love
· the chance to stretch themselves
· the opportunity to help others
· the feeling of being valued and rewarded for a job well done
Answering the questions in the table at the bottom of the page can help you find out if you are pursuing your passion.
1. How do you feel about your current stage of life—do you like what you are doing?
2. Are energized by the path of study you have chosen? If not, what are you enthusiastic about? Are you gathering information and soliciting advice so as to change your study path?
3. What interests and excites you? How do you plan to integrate your interests into your career?
4. When you graduate, will your first full-time job be a step toward your dream career or simply a job to get you from point A to point B?
5. Are you looking forward to the challenges of the working world?
6. What is standing between good and great for you?

The way that technology has transformed the workplace does not only place a premium on the technical skills of employees, but it also puts to test their individual interpersonal skills. In contrast to what many expect, these interpersonal skills are more highlighted and showcased as the technology used in a company becomes more advanced.

How Important Is Career Planning?
Long term career planning is essential if you want to consistently make good decisions about your job and your professional life as a whole throughout your career.

Many people are becoming very interested in working as a career or life coach as they find it very fulfilling to help change other people’s lives. Very often, those who decide to become a life coach have also worked with their own coach who taught them how to lead their lives and careers in the right direction.
According to studies, more than half of the employees around the world would gladly change careers if they just have the chance to do it. Well, this is a very clear sign that a lot of workers are not happy with their careers and jobs.
There are times that we know just what direction we want to go with our lives, but sometimes we feel unhappy about certain things we aren’t even know about. Life coaching is a very important and helpful tool for us to be able to set our goals in life, and also to figure out what things we can, should and want to do.
When it comes to getting some valuable advice about career, we almost always think of professional career coaches to give us that. Of course, they are very reliable individuals who have the experience and the knowledge to share with ordinary people some strategies that they know in terms of achieving success in a career.
Is it necessary to have some sort of inspiration in the workplace? The answer is a big YES. People perform at their highest level when they are inspired and motivated.
Different individuals may have different and varying ideas about what coaching and mentoring are. What some people call mentoring could be considered by others as coaching.

As an employee, of
course it to your
delight to be given
raises and bonuses,
but still, you cannot
deny the fact that
the best way your
earnings can increase is by being promoted to a
higher position with a higher salary base. As a matter
of fact, a survey in 2011 revealed that an average
American worker receives a raise of around 2
percent annually. On the other hand, a job promotion
gives employees an average increase of 8 percent.
If you want to boost your paycheck, there is no better
way to do so than to strive to become a better
performer so you could deserve a promotion. Here is
how you could achieve career advancement
effectively.
Step #1
Do not hesitate to ask your boss or anyone from the
upper management about what it takes to be
considered for a promotion. Just like in any
organization or business, employees need to have
certain sets of skills to be able to be considered for a
higher level or position in the company. It will be to
your great advantage if you have built a great mentor
relationship with anyone with a higher position who
could also give you tips on what skills you need to
develop.
Step #2
Offer your help to work on a task or a particular
project even though it is not part of your own
responsibilities. You can consider this as an
opportunity for you to acquire some training. What’s
more, doing this will allow you to have an image of
someone who is willing to help and cooperate for the
success of the company.
Step #3
Consider taking a course where you can acquire some
extra skills. If your company is looking for someone
to fill in a more advanced position, you may as well
get a degree or additional certifications. See to it also
that your employer is aware of all your efforts to
advance your education and acquire more training.
Step #4
Get into a career coaching program. There is an
increasing number of companies now having the
willingness to invest in employee development and
improvement. So what they do is offer mentorship
programs to their employees who have great
potential. With the help of a mentor or a career coach,
you will realize things that you may not have thought
of before in terms of enriching your potentials and
advancing your career. Another great thing about
being coached by a seasoned professional is that
there will be no wasted time and effort on your part
because every decision you make and every move
you take will be a calculated one towards the
achievement of your career goals.

Regardless of your
position in your
company, it is
essential that you
possess great
leadership skills in
order for you to
move forward in your career and eventually hold a
leadership position. Leadership isn’t something you
learn in school or taught by any teacher or coach.
Being a good leader is a skill which can be developed
over time. In your entire career, there are various
leadership skills that you may learn, but what you
will see below are just a few things you can do to
start in the right direction.
Be Enthusiastic. A person’s energy can have a
huge effect on others’ energy as well. If you are
energetic enough, the people around you will
have the same level of enthusiasm, but if you lack
energy, this can affect them also. Thus, it is
important that in anything that you do, you do it
with the highest level of energy possible. Your
efforts will not be left unnoticed and you will be
surprised at how energetic the people around
you are as well.
Always Be Positive. There is nothing more
destructive in a workplace than negativity. Keep
in mind that your boss wouldn’t want to hear
what problems you are having with a certain
project. Instead, he is expecting you to tell him
how you could make things better in the
workplace. Your positivity can help build your
confidence as well as other people’s confidence in
your decisions and skills.
Welcome Change and be Flexible. There is just
no way you can survive the world of business
today if you don’t welcome change into your life.
Whenever there are changes that need to be
made to the structure of your company or to the
way you work, welcome such changes and even
offer to help others cope with these changes.
Be Cooperative. In most cases, companies are
required to produce more and do more than what
their resources would allow them. It is because of
this that creativity and cooperation are extremely
necessary. As a leader, you shouldn’t try to force
other people to accept your opinions and do
everything you say. Instead, ask for their opinions
and have everyone contribute to the decision
making process. This way, everyone will feel
valued and heard, and this is what will make it
easier for you to have control over your
subordinates.
Be Resourceful and Creative. Think of the
current processes in the company and assess
whether some changes need to be made for
improvement. Never settle for what is already
existent. Use your creative mind to come up with
better strategies, techniques, and processes to
make sure that you will stand out. This can be an
effective tool you can use even for career
advancement.

Being a workaholic
seems to be a trend
among us these days,
perhaps because of the
increasing cost of living
these days and the
competitiveness of the
current job market. This
isn’t something to
celebrate about,
however, because there actually are more cons than
pros in working way too much. In fact, according to
studies, the level of productivity of a person declines
considerably even before they call it a day at work. In
short, those who work for too many hours in a day
are likely to be less productive than those who work
just the right number of hours. If you want to remain
productive, follow these tips on how you could save
your life from getting overwhelmed with work.
1. Have a time limit for work. It would be of great
help if you could set a specific limit on the number of
hours you are working. For instance, you could aim to
be home by 6pm every day, or you could also allot a
particular number of hours doing a specific task. By
having a set schedule, it will be easier for you to focus
and be efficient.
2. Find a worthwhile hobby. Think of an activity that
you truly enjoy doing, and that is in no way
connected with whatever you do at work. Workaholic
people always think they are short of time to have
any hobby, but having a hobby that you love can
make you even more motivated to work. Plus, having
a pastime activity is an effective way of keeping the
balance between your life and your work.
3. Spend some quality time with the people you
love. One of the primary reasons you are working
hard is actually your family and to give them a better
life. Thus, it makes no sense at all to keep taking them
for granted just because you are so preoccupied with
your job. Especially if you’ve got kids, you should
treasure the time that they are still young and always
at home. For sure, it won’t be long enough before you
see them leave the house one by one.
4. Aim to keep yourself healthy. We all know that
overworking isn’t good for your health. Of course,
you will be stressed from work most of the time, you
won’t have much time to sleep, and perhaps you will
not be having nutritious meals because you are
always in a hurry to go to work. If you want to stay
competitive for a long time, then you should realize
that your greatest weapon is your health. Besides,
there is no way you could enjoy career
advancement if you are in the hospital bed already.
