Apartment Variations

You may be familiar with the term apartment, but did you know that there are different kinds of apartments? Not only were you deciding on where you wanted to live, the cost of rent you’re willing to spend, what kind of amenities you want included, and the living situation (roommate, significant other, by yourself, etc.) but now you have to decide on the style of apartment. Maybe you’re familiar with loft and studio, but what about an alcove studio, a convertible, or a garden apartment? Wha

Invest in Employee Engagement

Company turnover is inevitable. In fact, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median number of years a person stays with a company is 4.2. Now, to be fair, there are a multitude of factors (industry, age, education, etc.) that play a role in an employee’s tenure. Whether the turnover is voluntary (quit) or involuntary (let go), it’s an element of change that affects the bottom line. Rather than accepting it for what it is, identifying what those reasons are for people to leave, o

Impactful Neighbors

Our neighbors at home have their own space. Their own property; whether that be an apartment, townhouse, or house. They have their own things to attend to.

Achieve the Impossible

Settling into a new job isn’t easy. Moving to a new location, isn’t easy. Every successful person out there has failed, tried, and been tested. If actors/actresses, artists, entrepreneurs, musicians, and billionaires didn’t stop, why should I? Why should you? It’s okay to recognize things as hard, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that we should give up. “It’s going to be hard, but hard is not impossible.” The dictionary is the only source where you’ll see success come before wor

Ready Set Action

Regardless of our best intentions and efforts, it can be difficult to stay on track. Life sometimes interrupts and the goals we had planned for ourselves, get postponed. This is when those “goals” turn into wishes. Except, it doesn’t have to be like that. In fact, action has everything to do with goals. Without it, things aren’t going to change. Things aren’t going to get accomplished. Needless to say, goals, and wishes, encompass all our plans, hopes, dreams and visions for what we

The Energy of a Leader

When defining what a leader is, many resort to the roles of a manager. Leaders give direction. Leaders build a vision. Leaders inspire others. These definitions are based on the behaviors and activities of what leaders do, rather than who they are. Leaders are grateful. Leaders are understanding. Leaders carry positive energy. Energy, like attitude, is a balanced equation. What gets put in, is what comes out. "The leader's attitude is like a thermostat for the workplace. If the

Downsizing From a House to an Apartment

Downsizing from a house to an apartment might mean downsizing your living space. By doing this, many people feel scared or frustrated as they have to make a lot of sacrifices. But, there are good reasons for that - people are either trying to save their money or to make their lives a bit more simplified. Both reasons are more than legitimate; however, how does one start this process of downsizing? Moreover, how does one adjust to having less space all of a sudden? Well, it is not going to be e
