Good afternoon, I know that everyone is thinking what should I do this year?  What should I be?  What is the path I should be on this new year?  These are great questions and I often ask myself the same things.   The thing is we are who we are right now.  I am Denise, you are __________(your name here), so what do you aspire to be?  That is the question.  Look at the things that give you happiness,joy, inspiration, or just a great feeling inside, from there you can begin to evaluate what you would like to be or do that will be a better life for you.   I know that the majority of people will never read another book once they leave high school, yet the things that you can learn, the experience you can gain from someone else's story are huge.  Decide that this year you will take small steps towards the life you desire.   You will use your imagination to create the reality you want.  You will committ to your personal growth every day.  Know in your heart that all is well, and gett

HAPPY 2012 EVERYONE!!  DS Woodard Consulting family has been on vacation since last month, however we are super excited about what the year 2012 has to offer for us here and your families and businesses.  This is a new year and it is always a new you.  I am always looking for the next thing.  I love change, most people don't like change, not even a little.  The challange is that things are always changing.  If we can learn to embrace the change in all aspects of our lives it will make our lives easier .  I admit that it is not the norm so most of us have been taught to fight change or complain about change, or disagree with the change.  When we realize that we don't need to be right, a major part of change is that we think things are better if they stay the same(our way the way it has always been is the right way).  If this were the case then why do we progress in age?  why do we mark time and celebrate the new day, the new month, the new year?  Why because we realize that

We've heard this all of our lives and we believe what is repeated to us over and over again, "practice makes what?" Well I have news for you, practice does not make perfect. However,practice does make us better. I heard Les Brown say this and I found it to be true. What do the pro's do? They practice all week to win the big game on Sunday. They stretch,they run, they complete drills, they practice making 3-point shots, they practice catching the ball while running full speed towards the end-zone, they practice blocking and guarding against the opponent scoring points. They practice for the big game with one goal in mind,they want to win. As a professional what aspects of what you do are you willing to practice everyday? Do you practice ahead of time how you will greet your customer? Do you practice what specific words you say based on what you know works or do you just say the first thing that comes to your mind? Most businesses you call have practiced a

When was the last time you updated your resume'? Does it still look like the one you created when you graduated from high school or college? Have you acquired any new skills that need to be added? If you have served in the armed forces have you included that experience? These are questions you need to ask yourself. The purpose of your resume' is to sell yourself on paper and to out shine the hundreds or thousands of other applicants applying for the same position. This seems easy enough, yet many do not take the steps necessary to be successful. Your resume' does not get you the job or opportunity, you do that, but your resume' allows the potential employer to consider you worth their time over other applicants based on what they see on paper. If you are looking to transition into a better paying job, a new or more challenging position,moving to another state, or completing military service and want to begin civilian employment you have a better chance if
