After all, you don’t want the one with the broken heart to try to torpedo your career by bad mouthing you, making scenes in the office or trying to block you from getting assignments. While many times ending a relationship is one sided, that doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to minimize the damage it can have at work.

No, we're not just talking about the chocolate and gift shops that are swamped with last-minute Valentine's Day shoppers. We're talking about all the small businesses where the co-owners co-habitate. They're the real mom and pops of American business. Almost half of small businesses that are members of the National Federation of Independent Businesses have a second family member involved, whether they're married or fathers and daughters and sisters. Small business, those with fewer than 50 workers, account for half - and sometimes more - of total hiring most months, according to the ADP National Employment Report. They represent 43 percent of total U.S. payrolls, the Small Business Administration reports, using 500 workers as its cutoff for small.

If I had one wish that could be fulfilled by every job candidate I see, it’s that he or she would want to earn a million dollars a year, plus bonuses. I’ve asked lots of other business owners and they seem to agree that there’s one quality sorely missing from job seekers. That quality is ambition.

The Giants and the Patriots were well prepared and well coached. For instance, when was the last time you saw a team allow the other team to score to get their hands on the ball with some time while the other team considered not scoring in order to run the clock out. The game is fluid and coaching decisions must reflect the ebbs and flows. That’s why Coughlin and Belechek make the big bucks, the decision stops with them. Couldn’t help thinking about the number of executive coaches there are in the market today to help executives with their personal and staff development. It is not a new profession, just one that has expanded out of need. And why is the number growing? There are a number of reasons including the fact that companies of all sizes do business in a complex global environment and a number of executives have not been well trained to manage growth in this environment - they need coaching.

We live in an ‘Occupy Everything’ world where 24/7 transparency is occasionally clipped by anonymity and the Anonymous movement to disrupt supposed social injustices while complaints of retaliation by employers trumped race for the second consecutive year, according to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Now breathe and let’s start again… In the world of work, whether you’re looking for a new job or looking for advancement within, you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

That co-worker of yours has been driving you nuts all day with constant chatting. Or perhaps it's a subordinate who can never get it right. Or maybe that last demand from an unreasonable boss. So one day, you lose it. You explode in anger and frustration because things just aren't going right. Tension is running high in workplaces these days as fewer people take on more work, often for less pay. Whether or not you handle that tension gracefully, however, can make or break your career.

This group is comprised of individuals who have been jobless for 27 weeks or more, and makes up 42.5 percent of the total unemployed. The commonly flawed hiring process—lack of an acknowledgement of resume receipt, hiring managers who do not know what they want, inept interviewers, and little follow up by companies—is particularly frustrating for this group of individuals and the reasons are understandable.
