Appreciative Coaching: A Positive Process for Change

Written by Sara Orem, PhD, Jacqueline Binkert, PhD, and Ann Clancy, PhD, this book is designed meant to be for anyone that does one-on-one work with the people that can create change in their organizations, but I would really love to check it out some time to see if the principles that they demonstrate for creating change in the workplace might apply to creating change as a caregiver.

All three of this book's authors are involved in business coaching: Sara Orem is a faculty member and coach in the online learning School of Business and Technology at Capella University, and is the principal of her own coaching firm. Capella University, where Orem is faculty member and coach in the School of Business and Technology, offers graduate degree programs in business, including an online mba program. Jacqueline Binkert is an executive coach who specializes in working with leaders and teams during times of change. Ann Clancy is president of Clancy Consultants and has worked with community organizations, large corporations, and federal agencies.

The three have drawn on their experience and written a book that teaches the reader how to tap into, or rediscover, their excitement about their present life and future possibilities. Building on a sense of wonder it guides them through four stages (Discovery, Dream, Design, and Destiny) that help them to feel inspired and gives them an empowering view of themselves and their future.

Payday Loan - paid post

It is important for family caregivers to be able to solve any problem that comes at them, and many times those problems are not inclined to wait until finances are just right. There are several options for getting the cash you need when you need it, but there are drawbacks.

Many banks don’t offer quick lending services which leaves many people going to hock shops to get the money they need. That often has the unfortunate side effect of the loss of valuable property for far less than it is worth.

Payday loan companies offer payday loan services to people who often don’t qualify for other forms of credit. It is important to note, however, that payday loans are not intended to be long term options, nor are they for large amounts of money. Common loans are low enough to easily be paid back from the borrower's paycheck.

Research your options and make sure that you are getting the best deal available.
