It may make you feel good to give someone compliments, or vindicated to tell them what they did wrong, but constructive criticism often requires pulling yourself out of the situation and engaging compassionately in finding solutions. Or is the only solution to find another job with another manager who does care? Much harder.

I never believed it would be easy, but like Seth Godin says.You have to put in the time, stay creative and keep looking for that break. You motivated me to get moving on social networking, jump in and learn to swim. Of course I'm stressing out and thinning on top, but it's a part of my process.

Write about how to find autonomy at work, about the farmer, about how to network and build a community. Because for some reason, a feasible solution is usually included with the "why," a bit like getting that second ShamWow for free. Write more. Write about how people drive you nuts and about how you drive in circles.

One flaw I railed at for years was the lack of creative, spontaneous unfettered time. Now I schedule time to find connections, be creative, listen and daydream during each day, even if it is only for 15 minutes. The whole "shiny object syndrome" that you describe seems to be a common character trait of creative people.

When I'm fried creatively, I go exercise or run errands. I find I'm at my most creative from 7 – 11:30 am. After that I'm not creative and have to work on grunt work. I get to socialize with my colleagues and get creative mixing ideas as well as time alone to concentrate and focus while working from home.

I am looking for solutions. "So deep is the creative spirit that you will discover its limits, even if you search every trail." My "farmer" is a barefooted beauty who works at a desk across from me, all day, and she's gorgeous and kind and creative and everybody loves her. (At I am not crying, though.

I guess there’s no real solution besides maybe trying to understand other people’s priorities. Put up some curtains or something if you want to be creative. That’s why crying is so important, it’s a visual signal of just how much the other person wants to get their way. Men should cry more. What would that look like?

EEG neurofeedback training is the best solution because it trains the brain out of that pattern. You can read about that adventure and how Yoga was part of the solution by searching for "Fender Bender" on my [link] blog.) Mindfulness makes you also much more creative. How can you ever let-go and just be? their jobs.

This can inevitably grow your network/career. And I love your solution in your #4 point. So I wonder, does anyone have other solutions? But I love your creative excuse for not doing it. The bid process -itemized- educates you as to the range of options and possible solutions available. You are so right, Melanie!

Your brand lives in everyday interactions your company has with its prospects and customers, including the images you share, the messages you post on your website, the content of your marketing materials, your presentations and booths at conferences, and your posts on social networks. Importantly, your brand is not what you say it is.
