Fall Trade Show Season and Back to School
|
Does anyone know where summer went? We are back in full swing with schools starting back up this month and Fall trade shows filling the calendars. All I can say is structure and planning is a good thing and something I definitely could use some more of!
We wrapped up our Idea Showcase & Client Expo last month at Jimmy’s Conference Center, where we had a full sellout of supplier booths and over 190 attendees for the event making it a success yet again for you, our membership!

Do you ever struggle to differentiate between your work life and home life? Maybe you find yourself thinking about work when you're at home and vice versa.

. . . more than half of Americans report being stressed out? About 55% of US adults polled said that they had experienced a lot of stress during the prior day, compared with a worldwide average of 35%.

. . . food doesn't taste as good if we eat it while standing, we hear from Dipayan Biswas, PhD? Recent finding: The physical strain of standing reduces the body's sensory sensitivity, making tasty foods seem less flavorful. On the other hand, standing helps people better tolerate unpleasant tastes, such as medicine. Dieters - take note: The study also found that eating on your feet led to less consumption, which might mean weight reduction.

Learn To Avoid Burnout And Enjoy Time Off
|
|
Reprinted with permission from Promotional Consultant Today
If you find it hard to step away from work, you're not alone. For many professionals and business owners, the work never stops. While you might think buckling down and working to get ahead is good for business, it can also lead to burnout. When you're burned out, you can't deliver 100 percent. You might see yourself making mistakes or working slower than usual. Beyond work, burnout can impact your overall health. You might lose sight of good habits such as eating right, exercising and getting enough rest.
