Brilliant Career Lessons From David Bowie

Brilliant Career Lessons From David BowieBrilliant Career Lessons From David BowieDavid Bowie radiated style, passion and wisdom over the course of a career that spanned nearly half a century. Bowie reveled in his own truth and fearlessly cultivated his eccentricity. His example, in turn, emboldened scores of Bowies fans to take pride in their differences, because he made them feel understood, worthy and represented. In his work life, David Bowie mastered a host of artistic disciplines. A seasoned musician, writer, visual artist and actor, he binnenseemed to have a compulsion to re-orchestrate reality, and present it in a new and stylish way, inviting audiences to see themselves and their world differently. David Bowie did so much more than make us dance. These are some of the career lessons he left us. Live up to your abilityBowie welches making music right up until the final days of his life. His most recent album welches released on his final birthday, January 8, 2016. Bowie had a lready planned a follow-up to the project and did a preliminary recording of five songs he hoped to include. Bowie clearly loved his work, and he continued to approach it with enthusiasm, even after he achieved the highest level of success. Michael Farrellbriefly toured with Bowie in 2003. Farrell, who at the time was the bandleader for Macy Grays band, was also part of the support band for Bowies A Reality Tour. Farrell saidAt that point, Bowie was almost 40 years into his career, and I was kind of expecting autopilot. Instead he was full of boundless enthusiasm about music. He was constantly challenging himself and his band with different songs, revised set lists, and new material. The shows were epic and full of power.Fearlessly evolve Bowie created his own genre of cool and its hard to imagine our world without his influence. Part of his identity as a songwriter, performer and artist was his perpetual inclination to grow and invent. Bowie was always evolving towards a new look, idea, way of creating or avenue for connecting with his audiences. Few performers are as enterprising, multidisciplinary or prolific as David Bowie. Bowie was quick to use technology to expand his reach for example, he was among the first artists to digitize his music. In the late 1990s he also started BowieNet, both an internet service provider and an online community where his fans could interact, sometimes directly with Bowie who frequented the site under the name Sailor.Bowie was also an entrepreneur on Wall Street, and his Bowie Bonds gave him and his fellow performers a financial instrument to which they could tie their musical catalogues.Be good to your team Farrell said that Bowies affection for the band and crew was apparent, and that he personally checked in on them to make sure they felt taken care of. Farrell remembers Bowie the coworker as someone with a simple life and work philosophy that existed beneath the public persona that Bowie showed the world. Farrell said, Of course I will remember decades of musical brilliance, those are well documented and recorded. But I took away two simple things that even a rock star like Ziggy Stardust would not overlook Work hard and be kind.

How to fit mindfulness meditation into a busy work day

How to fit mindfulness meditation into a busy work dayHow to fit mindfulness meditation into a busy work dayEver feel like youre just going through the motions at a million miles an hour, all day, every day? Wake up, go to work, go home, rinse and repeat.Using mindfulness meditation can help you slow down in a variety of ways - youll physically sit still while easing your racing mind. Here are four ways to fit this practice into a packed work day.Find a quiet space to sit in the officeAlthough it might be difficult, youll want to find a place where you cant be interrupted by others for a few minutes. So do what you can to get away from your nagging boss and/or obnoxiouscoworkers who get under your skin.Otherwise, youll probably be bombarded by a wave of the usual requests as you try to get clarity at the moment. So give yourself the space you need instead.Use your headphones and set phone remindersHeadphones can really come in handy, especially when using a program with instructions during a guided meditation. This way, you wont have to turn on the program in a quiet space, where others can hear what youre up to.In terms of setting reminders, make sure you pick a time that you know youll have access to your phone so youll see the meditation notification(s) you set.But whether youre using the Calm app, Headspace or something similar, youll be happy with the way it breaks up your daily, hectic routine.Be mindful on your daily commuteThere are a bunch of different ways to do this, like taking everything that you see in without casting it in a negative or positive light, listening to some tunes, being nice to the people around you and using social media in a specific way.Your commute may be long, but that doesnt mean it cant be both productive and healthy for you. You deserve to give back to yourself, whether its before or after the workday has come and gone.Meditate quietly when you get homeIf you cant fit in any meditation during a crazy work day, wait until you get home and can get some time to yourself. When you get there, go into a quiet space alone and zero in on your breathing.Just dont expect to be a mindfulness whiz right off the bat. This practice takes repetition. Also keep in mind that the mora you practice, the more centered youre bound to feel over time.

3 Tips to Avoid a Boring, Self-Absorbed Cover Letter

3 Tips to Avoid a Boring, Self-Absorbed Cover Letter 3 Tips to Avoid a Boring, Self-Absorbed Cover Letter 3 Tips to Avoid a Boring, Self-Absorbed Cover Letter When you meet someone new, it's not always easy to strike up a conversation, especially if you focus only on yourself. Self-absorption is a big turn-off. The trick is to find something of mutual interest and see how far it takes you. If your knowledge matches their interests, and vice versa, it could be the start of a great friendship. The same theory applies to writing your cover letter, which acts as a conversation starter for the really deep topic that follows: your resume. Karen Burns aka Working Girl drove this point home last month in an article, A Good Cover Letter Starts with You. It reminded me of a night waaaaayyy back in my single days when I was talking sort of with a young woman in a bar. The problem was I couldn't get her to stop talking about what was apparently her favorite subject: herself. About 30 mind-numbing minutes later, she handed me her phone number, which I tossed in a trash can on my way home. The point? When you write a cover letter, take the focus off yourself and place it on the person and company you're writing to. You should have already taken a good, close look at the job description, highlighted keywords and phrases, and mirrored them in your resume. Use those to start building your case in your cover letter for how you can help them. Then: 1)Do your homework. Scour the company's web site and other resources for information and news to gather a complete picture of what they do, what their markets are, how the job you're applying for fits in, and how your background can help contribute to their success. Then, work that knowledge into your cover letter. Bad Example: I have 10 years of experience in domestic and foreign procurement in the consumer products sector. Good Example: My 10 years of procurement experience in the consumer products sector, especially in sourcing goods from foreign counties, can be of immense help with your expansion into Asian markets. 2)Keep I and my under control. Yes, you'll need to say I or my to describe your skills and how they fit with the company and the position; emphasize your interest in the job; and sometimes address salary expectations. But there are some instances where you can go without it. For instance, a statement like I believe my skills match the job's requirements is more powerful without the I believe. Ever have an English teacher take off points if you used I believe or In my opinion in an assignment? It's no secret that what you write is coming from you, so these phrases are unnecessary. 3)Let someone else speak for you with a written recommendation. Consider including an endorsement from an ex-boss or colleague. Social networking sites like LinkedIn are making written recommendations the new references. Another option is to quote remarks from a past performance review. An example: In 2007, our CEO John Smith said my dedication, attention to detail, and strong communications skills with our Asian suppliers were instrumental in helping us gain 15% in market share in that region. Your cover letter serves as the opening act for your resume. In today's economy, a well-written cover letter targeting the employer's specific needs can help vault you above a larger-than-normal field of competitors. To grab the hiring manager's attention, keep your cover letter focused on the company.

Although it is easy to think that you are the only person who is super stressed all the time, we have all been there.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!On my commute to work, I often wonder if other people stuck doing the same commute as I am day-in and day-out are thinking about moving someplace where they didn’t have to waste hours stuck in traffic, working endless hours to live in a city where they can’t afford to buy a home.Yes, where you live can totally impact your stress level. This got us thinking: What are the most stressed cities in each state? So we decided to find out.Image by Zippia.comYou can find each state’s most stressed city below, but first, let’s check out the top 10.These are some of the ten mo st stressed cities in the United States:HERE ARE THE 10 MOST STRESSED CITY IN EACH STATE FOR 2019: West New York, NJ Huron, CA South Miami, FL Glassmanor, MD Edgewater, CO Manorhaven, NY Woodlawn CDP (Fairfax County), VA Justice, IL Fair Oaks, GA Terrytown, LA Not that surprising, right? At least most of them.  Florida  and  Colorado  are the surprise elements.You might be curious about how we came up with this list. Well, let me explain.HOW WE CALCULATED THE MOST STRESSED CITY IN EACH STATEUsing the most recent data from the  U.S. Census American Community Survey for 2013-2017  and  BLS, we ranked each city in America in the following criteria: Unemployment Hours Worked Commute Times Population Density Home Price to Income Ratio Percent of Uninsured Population The higher a city ranked in any of these areas, the more stressed it was. We then took a  closer  look at each of the 50 states, and ranked the cities in each state from most stressed to least stressed.This helped us determine the most stressed city in each of the 50 states.Before we get to the full list of the most stressed city in each state, let us look at the top 10 most stressed cities:THE 10 MOST STRESSED CITY IN EACH STATE FOR 20191. West New York, NJPopulation:  53,345 Commute Length:  37.2 Hours Worked:  39.1West  New York, NJ is the most stressed city in America. West New York is one of the most densely populated cities not just in the United States but worldwide. That along with super long commute and high unemployment rates make this city the most stressed in America.2. Huron, CAPopulation:  6,926 Commute Length:  28.7 Hours Worked:  45.7Huron,  California  either has really dedicated workers who all love their jobs, or it has the worst employers in the country because people in Huron work incredibly long hours.It also has the lowest average income of the 50 most stressed cities on our list. One reason could be the fact that this part of California has a large number of migrant farm workers.3. South Miami, FLPopulation:  12,255 Commute Length:  28.1 Hours Worked:  40.6South Miami, Florida? This is a surprising one, we agree. All the beautiful beaches, abundant sunshine, and exciting nightlife wasn’t enough of a stress relief for South Miamians. Long commutes, high unemployment rate, exorbitant home prices, and a large number of uninsured people put South Miami number 3 on our most stressed city.4. Glassmanor, MDSource: Wikipedia Population:  18,158 Commute Length:  40.9 Hours Worked:  39.2Glassmanor,  Maryland  has one of the worst unemployment rates in the nation. Plus, it is a suburb of  Washington, D.C. Now, who wouldn’t be stressed living that close to the nation’s capital?5. Edgewater, COPopulation:  5,299 Commute Length:  23.6 Hours Worked:  41.6Edgewater, Colorado is right next to Denver, and it is another one of the cities on our list that is a bit baffling. Edgewater’s close proximity nature and scenery don’t help the fact that the city has a high unemployment rate of almost 10% and a large number of people in the city don’t have access to proper healthcare.6. Manorhaven, NYPopulation:  6,627 Commute Length:  45.4 Hours Worked:  39.9People living in Manorhaven, New York have one of the worst commutes in the country.With the average home price in this city being over a half a million dollars, it is no surprise it is number 6 on our most stressed list.7. Woodlawn CDP (Fairfax County), VASource: Public Domain Population:  23,041 Commute Length:  37.6 Hours Worked:  39.0Number 7 on our most list is Woodlawn,  Virginia. Bad commute and lack of health  insurance  is enough to stress out the most chill person, and people of Woodlawn are no exception.8. Justice, ILPopulation:  12,973 Commute Length:  31.9 Hours Worked:  39.9“Peaceful, pretty, and proud” might be the motto of Justice,  Illinois, but data shows that it is the most stressed city in Illinoisâ€"more so than even Chicago. Turns out super long commutes, high unemployment rate, and lack of proper health care options are enough things to cause high amounts of stress.9. Fair Oaks, GAPopulation:  9,159 Commute Length:  36.2 Hours Worked:  38.9With almost half of the population having no health insurance, Fair Oaks,  Georgia  is next on our list. With the median household income of just under $31,000, People of Fair Oaks have plenty on their plates to be stressed about.10. Terrytown, LAPopulation:  24,216 Commute Length:  25.6 Hours Worked:  40.4Terrytown,  Louisiana  has a combination of factors that work against it including high unemployment rate, a sizable number of uninsured people, and long work hours for relatively low median income.This article first appeared on Zippia.  You might also enjoy… New neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happy Strangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds 10 lessons from Benjamin Franklin’s daily schedule that will double your productivity The worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs 10 habits of mentally strong people The most stressed city in each state Is wanting a low stress life completely unreasonable?Sometimes it might seem like it.Like modern life is just a series of one stressful thing after another.

Huron, CA Population:  6,926 Commute Length:  28.7 Hours Worked:  45.7 Huron,  California  either has really dedicated workers who all love their jobs, or it has the worst employers in the country, because people in Huron work incredibly long hours. It also has the lowest average income of the 50 most stressed cities on our list. One reason could be the fact that this part of California has a large number of migrant farm workers. 3. South Miami, FL Population:  12,255 Commute Length:  28.1 Hours Worked:  40.6 South Miami, Florida? This is a surprising one, we agree. All the beautiful beaches, abundant sunshine, and exciting nightlife wasn’t enough of a stress relief for South Miamians. Long commutes, high unemployment rate, exorbitant home prices, and large number of uninsured people put South Miami number 3 on our most stressed city. 4. Glassmanor, MD Population:  18,158 Commute Length:  40.9 Hours Worked:  39.2 Glassmanor,  Maryland  has one of the worst unemployment rates in the nation. Plus, it is a suburb of  Washington, D.C. Now, who wouldn’t be stressed living that close to the nation’s capital? 5. Edgewater, CO Population:  5,299 Commute Length:  23.6 Hours Worked:  41.6 Edgewater, Colorado is right next to Denver, and it is another one of the cities on our list that is a bit baffling. Edgewater’s close proximity nature and scenery doens’t help the fact that the city has a high unemployment rate of almost 10% and a large number of people in the city don’t have access to proper healthcare. 6. Manorhaven, NY Population:  6,627 Commute Length:  45.4 Hours Worked:  39.9 People living in Manorhaven, New York have one of the worst commutes in the country. With the average home price in this city being over a half a million dollars, it is no surprise it is number 6 on our most stressed list. 7. Woodlawn Cdp (Fairfax County), VA Population:  23,041 Commute Length:  37.6 Hours Worked:  39.0 Number 7 on our most list is Woodlawn,  Virginia. Bad commute and lack of health  insurance  is enough to stress out the most chill person, and people of Woodlawn are no exception. 8. Justice, IL Population:  12,973 Commute Length:  31.9 Hours Worked:  39.9 “Peaceful, pretty, and proud” might be the motto of Justice,  Illinois, but data shows that it is the most stressed city in Illinoisâ€"more so than even Chicago. Turns out super long commutes, high unemployment rate, and lack of proper health care options are enough things to cause high amounts of stress. 9. Fair Oaks, GA Population:  9,159 Commute Length:  36.2 Hours Worked:  38.9 With almost half of the population having no health insurance, Fair Oaks,  Georgia  is next on our list. With the median household income of just under $31,000, People of Fair Oaks have plenty on their plates to be stressed about. 10. Terrytown, LA Population:  24,216 Commute Length:  25.6 Hours Worked:  40.4 Terrytown,  Louisiana  has a combination of factors that works against it including high unemployment rate, sizable number of uninsured people, and long work hours for relatively low median income.
