Studies say drinking coffee can be good ... unless youre doing thisStudies say drinking coffee can be good ... unless youre doing thisIts that time of the week when you need to hear news about how your daily consumption of coffee is killing you or making you stronger, or a combination of both - leaving you in a constant state of fear, panic or immense confidence as well as hyperactive because you just drank coffee.Ladders has written about how the time of day you drink your first, second and third cup could have a major effect on your energy levels, but in addition to that, your choice of coffee additives may also be impacting your health.And you should probably pay attention, asa study commissioned by the National Coffee Association of 3,000 Americans found that64% of Americans drink a cup of coffee every day. This is a two-point increase from 2017 and the highest percentage in six years. In other words, we as a society are addicted to coffee.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladde rs magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moraCoffee can help fend off diseasesCoffee can have some disease-reducing effects. A HarvardNurses Health Studyfound that coffee has some preventative qualities against type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease and another study linked it to helping fight against the onset of Parkinsons.Geoffrey James,on Inc., suggests trying to get yourself to start drinking your coffee black, as the health benefits are immense. Black coffee can help boost memory, make you more intelligent, cleanses your gut, helps your heart, improves your workouts, etc., In other words, it is a miracle in a cup.But you may only be reaping these positive benefits if you are drinking your coffee a certain way, as in not adding in bags and bags of sugar and pouring in the creamer.But your additives can cause troubleBy adding two teaspoons of sugar to each cup and you have two to four cups each day, you are quickly surpa ssing the suggested amount of sugar by health associations. And dont think youre in the safe zone if you are just adding non-dairy creamer. Thats even worse. Most non-dairy creamer brands are full of sugar positiv oils and trans fats on top of that and then artificial flavoring and you have one unhealthy drink in front of you. But thats just a normal cup of coffee you are making.What about all the sugar utopias that are coffee drinks from Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks? Dunkin rolled out the Girl Scout-cookie flavored coffee (because we needed Thin Mints in liquid form) in February and Starbucks has managed to top the Willy Wonka go-to Unicorn Frappucino with something called theCrystal Ball. Its a frozen drink with peach flavoring, whipped cream, and crushed rock candy topping and we assume some caffeine is in there.All these additives wont negate all the disease-reducing benefits of coffee, but they produce an onslaught of other things to worry about.

How to be as graceful as Michelle Obama when you leave your job

How to be as graceful as Michelle Obama when you leave your jobHow to be as graceful as Michelle Obama when you leave your jobTrue Leadership in Times of DespairTaylor Antrim, a Vogue contributor, wrote a fascinating comparison between the Obamas Christmas party in 2015 and the same celebration one year later, in 2016. He talked about how much of a difference twelve months had made for the first family. How subdued their smiles and positivism seemed to be. At the close of 2016, there was little to celebrate. Antrim described a certain sadness heavy in the air within the White House.The grace under pressure leadershipSome weeks later, at Donald Trumps inauguration, the Obamas, Michelle in particular, displayed the same kind of leadership. Grace under pressure. The former first lady tried hard to be reassuring. She spread comfort. Mrs. Obama made it clear that her confidence in Americas prospering future remained unchanged. Judging from her facial expressions during the ceremony, it to ok quite the effort to display leadership through courage in the most surprising of times. We are not talking the nice kind of surprises here.Starting with the blue Tiffany box gaffe, Mrs. Obama endured a lot last Sunday. First, it was the young lady who sounded as if she was weeping for America while singing the US national anthem. Quite the stark contrast from Beyonces powerful performance of the same song four years ago, albeit admittedly lip-sung.Then it was the dreariest presidential speech in history. Trump described Obamas America as a crime-infested, starved and jobless autocracy, where the people had no power. In reality, unemployment was down to 5%, relations with Iran and Cuba had been re-opened, and a historic climate-change accord had been signed in Paris. A worthy legacy, no doubt. Yet, Trumps portrayal of modern-day America was a slap in Obamas face. A humiliation, which Michelle handled like a true leader gracefully climbing up, while others were sinking down.Relate d articlesInspiring resume tips from 2017 Oscars nominationsHow I decide when to leave or stay in a jobThe ultimate guide to building professional reputationSo if there is one lesson you can learn from Michelle, its how to keep your head up as you walk out the office door for the last time.

However bad the end of your time at an organization you will nonetheless feel nostalgic. Perhaps even grateful for the lessons learned. Expect to be filled with doubt about leaving your job.There may be weeks in which you give yourself the I-will-quit-today-I-am-so-much-better-than-this pep-talk while in the elevator up to yo ur office. Yet, every time your reach your floor you decide that tomorrow is a better day to leave.When you do finally muster the courage, look to Michelle for inspiration. Dont leave mayhem behind be cooperative and help your team verstndigung im strafverfahren with the change. She did, after all, hug the Trumps on the steps of the White House.2. Take a breakDont throw yourself into something new immediately If you can afford it, take a week off. Go on vacation. Reflect. Plan ahead. Restructure your vision for the future. Follow in Michelles footsteps she announced on January 20th that she will be taking a leave of absence from public engagements. Only to return to her work reinvigorated.You will need to do the same when you leave a job. It can be tempting to immerse yourself into the next big thing. Try to think long-term. Allow yourself the time to decompose the experiences, lessons, hardships and good times you had at your last job. This will allow you to leave your emotional baggage where it belongs in the past.3. Power dressMaking the announcement that you are leaving an organization is a big deal. You are likely to feel scrutinized. There may even be a pinch of guilt, a clenching fist holding onto your stomach. This is the last time that you will be considered part of the team for the remainder of your time at the company you will be an outsider.Be prepared and try to dress the part. Power-dressing will give you an extra confidence boost, allowing you to breeze through this complex time. If you are lacking inspiration, look no further than Michelle Obama Throughout her time as the first lady, she chose to wear relatively unknown designers, who benefited from the attention. Her attire was fun, colorful, feminine, but fitting for the leader she is. Its no wonder she wore red at Trumps inauguration the color of the republican party. Mrs. Obama chose to signify (yet again) her ability to lead by showing respect and acknowledging interpersonal differenc es. She wore red to signify unity, compromise, and a smooth transition between the two administrations.For her smarts, style, courage and composure, we applaud Michelle Obama. See you in 2020, Mrs. President

3 Reasons You Should Open Up to Your New Boss - The Muse

3 Reasons You Should Open Up to Your New Boss - The Muse3 Reasons You Should Open Up to Your New BossUnless youre one of the lucky few, youve probably had at least one bad boss who was so awful, he or she made you question all of humanity. Maybe he was clearly unqualified for the job. Or maybe it felt like she made it herbei job to send you home crying every day. Or, maybe he just smelled. No, really.In any case, weve all been there. The good berichterstattung is that doesnt mean that all your future managers will be just like that person. However, after going through this experience, youre probably skeptical of anyone put in charge of you. So skeptical, that you put up all kinds of mental barriers. But, heres why you need to drop those thoughts before you damage your own career. 1. Youre Setting Yourself Up for a Disastrous RelationshipThink about any relationship youve had with someone whos made assumptions about how things will go down. No matter how much of an effort you make to convince that person that youre not crazy, your relationship will suffer as long as he or she is sure that you are, in fact, a crazy person. The same is true of your relationship with your manager. If youre convinced that he or she is a terrible person, it will be hard for this person to overcome that. And thats no good, since he or she should be your number one advocate at the company.OK, So Youve Adjusted Your Attitude. Now What?Its up to you to feel things out to see if this is appropriate, but in my experience, Ive actually found that its helpful to tell your boss about how youve been treated in the past. If he or she has made it clear things will be run differently, take advantage of that and open up a bit about the kind of management styles that you thrive under (and those you do not). Odds are, youll find that he or shes sympathetic to those times your former supervisor hollered at you in front of the entire company- and often, will even be able to relate. 2. Youre Making it Difficult to Enjoy Your WorkConsider this Youve wanted to design shoes for as long as you can remember, and you finally get a job with your favorite designer. The only problem is that the person youll be reporting to reminds you of an old boss, who reminded you of that annoying kid down the street who used to make you feel terrible about yourself. Except youve barely started. And youre making some really unfair assumptions about a person you just dont know very well. Even worse, youll probably really hate that job just because of those really bad assumptions.OK, So Youre Open to Getting to Know Your Boss. How Do You Do That?Fortunately, the solution here is simple Get to know him or her. Invite him or her to lunch. Ask for a few extra minutes during your next meeting to find out more about what he or shes like outside of work. Feel free to be creative about how you get to know your new supervisor, but do yourself a favor and find a way to do it before you start making some unfair co nnections to a terrible manager you had in a previous life. 3. Youre Keeping Yourself From Moving on With Your LifeTrust me, I get it. I understand what its like to work for someone who uses meetings to come down on you about all the things he or she dislikes about you. I know how bad of a feeling it is to have to do weekly SWOT analyses about your own work to justify the fact that youre still employed. But I also know that as bad as those things are, even the most supportive bosses cant help you get over those previous experiences all by themselves. That part, as hard as it is, is totally up to you. OK, So Thats Starting to Sink in- How Do You Move On?The solution really isnt straightforward. If youre anything like me, you might have a couple really bad supervisors in a row before you find one who actually does his or her best to support you. So, in the meantime, make more time for the things that make you feel good about yourself. In my case, I started writing more. For you, that might look different. Maybe youve been hoping to join a kickball league. Or maybe youve gotten a hundred invitations to a book club that you havent had time for. Make time for activities thatll give you the immediate confidence booster you so badly need (and deserve).Theres nothing fun about working for someone who makes you miserable. However, youre also not making it easy on future bosses if you assume theyll all be just as terrible. Its perfectly normal to need some time to get over previous scoldings at the hand of a miserable supervisor. But, if you want to get up and running at a new job quickly, dont take those previous experiences out on your current boss.

How to Send the Perfect Meeting Follow-Up Email - The Muse

How to Send the Perfect Meeting Follow-Up Email - The MuseHow to Send the Perfect Meeting Follow-Up Email Theres a special kind of exasperation that comes with leaving a meeting feeling even less sure what the point of it was than when you walked in (in which case, maybe someone needs this guide to running effective meetings, this meeting agenda template, or this article outlining when you really should reschedule that meeting). Even if matters arent so extreme- maybe you had a stimulating and engaging conversation- its still disappointing if nothing landseems to come out of it. But theres a simple solution the post-meeting email. The overarching purpose is that it holds everybody accountable to the same expectations. So you have a kollektiv on the same page working toward the same goals, which keeps things efficient and productive and also keeps frustrations down, says Heather Yurovsky, a Muse career coach and the founder of Shatter Shine. Nobody likes feeling like they sat in a me eting that had good momentum and then nothing happens afterwards. Read on for everything you need to know about sending the perfect post-meeting email- so that youre never responsible for thwarting progress on whatever it is you were meeting about. Who Should Send the Post-Meeting Email?Okay, maybe youre all in on the idea of a follow-up email. But how do you know if youre the one who should be sending it? Often its obvious. If you organized the meeting, created the agenda, and ran the thing, then chances are you should be the one closing the loop with a post-meeting missive. Usually its clear at the end of the meeting whos responsible, but sometimes its not, especially if its maybe a new project that no one department technically owns yet, Yurovsky says. You just want to make sure you dont come off like youre barking orders at other people and that it really comes from the right person that people are going to listen to and respect the ownership and deadline.If its a more ambiguous situation, think about whether it makes sense for you to step up to the task. At the end of the meeting, if its not abundantly clear whos responsible for it and you feel equipped to send that email afterward, then raise your hand and say, Hey, happy to send out the post-meeting email, unless theres anyone else that feels like its more appropriate to come from them, Yurovsky says. So youre volunteering. Youre not calling anyone out to put it on them, but youre also giving other people the opportunity to say, Oh no, I think it actually needs to come from Joe.Who Should Be Included?Once the from field is settled, its time to think about the to and cc fields. Make sure youre sending your note to all the meeting participants, including anyone who was on the invite list but perhaps wasnt able to attend. Then think about whether theres anyone you realized should have been in on the meeting as well as any other stakeholders who need to take action or have visibility on the topic. Finally, if youre dealing with more senior colleagues, consider copying their assistants. When Should It Go Out?Its best to send the recap as close to coming out of the meeting as possible, Yurovsky says. If the meetings at the end of the day and you want to wait until first thing the next morning, thats fine, but the closer you are to the meeting, the more momentum is created and it doesnt departure to fall to the bottom of peoples piles.In other words, consider the recap an extension of the meeting and send it off while the discussion is still fresh in your mind and everyone elses. If you know in advance that youll be the one tackling this item, you can even plan ahead by blocking off time on your calendar right after the meeting to get it done. What Should It Include?The purpose of the email is getting everyone on the same page, says Muse career coach Kristina Leonardi. But what exactly goes into it to make that happen depends on the nature of the meeting and what is the intention, what i s the goal? Leonardi says. If there was an issue or a challenge that was being dealt with and the meeting resolved that issue or challenge, it can be kind of like a thank you and self congratulatory, she explains. Or it can be clarifying roles and direction in a particular project or the subsequent action steps that need to be taken and whos supposed to take them. As a general guideline, think about doing some or all of the following Thanking people for their time and effortSummarizing any key points covered or discussed during the meetingOutlining action items and owners as well as deadlines for these next steps Attaching or linking to any relevant resources and documentsInviting people to ask questions or reconveneLeonardi urges you to keep it short and sweet. But even the scope of the email depends on the meeting. If youre coming out of a voreingestellt monthly team meeting or a relatively quick and routine project update meeting, your email can reflect that in its length. If you re sending a follow-up note after a two-hour board meeting or a deep-dive strategy session, itll look a little different. The same goes for your tone. You always want to be polite, even if its a quick email that youre sending out, Yurovsky says. You also want to write in not only the tone of the organization, but of the meeting itself. In short, dont sum up a casual meeting with your teammates in an overly formal tone and dont send out a recap to executives that sounds like youre talking to your buddies at happy hour. As Yurovsky puts it, knowing your audience makes a big difference there. Is There a Template I Can Use?All sound good so far? Cool, now youre probably ready to get down to it. Heres a template you can use in part or in whole, depending on the particular situation. Hi all,Thanks so much for taking the time to meet about topic of meeting today/yesterday. The purpose of the meeting was to succinct articulation of the meeting goal/purpose.As a quick recap, we discussed A s entence or two about topic or point 1A sentence or two about topic or point 2A sentence or two about topic or point 3We came to the conclusion thatA sentence or two about conclusion or insight 1A sentence or two about conclusion or insight 2In order to make this happen, our next steps will beNext step 1 - Name of Owner will complete by dateNext step 2 - Name of Owner will complete by dateNext step 3 - Name of Owner will complete by dateNext step 4 - Name of Owner will complete by dateFor reference, see attached document 1 for a few words about whats in document 1 and why its relevant and attached document 2 for a few words about whats in document 2 and why its relevant.Well plan to meet again in amount of time, but please feel free to reach out with any questions, concerns, or relevant updates in the meantime.Thanks, Your NameWhat About an Example?Heres what that might look like in practice Hi all,Thanks so much for taking the time to meet about our Q3 sales goals earlier.
