		<description><![CDATA[If you don't feel connected at work you are less likely to receive a promotion and more likely to leave the organization within one year. As a result, developing relationship skills - the ability to work with a variety of personalities, active listening, and openness to other's ideas - can yield great results on the job. The same elements you use to develop relationships off the clock are the same that relationship management, networking, and social interaction skills you use to develop your career relationships.

		<description><![CDATA[Reach for the stars is a common phrase we have all heard before. As an adult you use the phrase to encourage others to pursue their goals and to aim high. If you say the same encouraging words to a child with a scientific mind she may tell you that her arms aren’t long enough or that stars are gaseous and that if she can some how find a yet to be discovered means to grab one it will vaporize her. Her perspective and accurate explanation quashes your creative wish for her to excel and your encouraging words become meaningless. She has missed your message. So many of us face this in our career.
