Like the seasons, the times are changing. View this email in your browser<\/a>\"\" September … Already?\u00a0 \"Apple We\u2019re not those kids in the school hallways nervously looking for our classroom, nor are we trying to remember a locker combination. However, we are probably feeling like it\u2019s time to get back to the reality of work and the goals that we set for ourselves for 2017. It\u2019s probably also a time to confront some lingering issues now that the distraction of summer is behind us. Since you\u2019ve had a chance to relax and catch your breath, it\u2019s a terrific time to focus on your career or make those improvements you\u2019ve had on your mind for a while. If you\u2019re sensing a shift within your current role or workplace, you\u2019re most likely contemplating your options. I encourage you to be mindful of what is likely to be happening within the next few years. In the May newsletter<\/a>, I told you that I\u2019d be attending the APEX conference for Public Service Executives and that I\u2019d share what I learned. I kept my word. In this blog post<\/a>, I explain some of the hidden HR and career-related implications of the technological changes that are anticipated in the next coming years. \u00a0 Read more about the hidden implications of tech<\/a>nology<\/a> on careers and HR matters.\u00a0 TIME TO TAKE STOCK\u00a0 \"Tractor I don\u2019t know about you, but when fall comes to mind, I think of the beautiful harvest of crisp local apples and the fresh autumn air paired with the changing colours all around us. It\u2019s also a season of transition and a time during which many of us want to reap what we\u2019ve already sown. In other words, it\u2019s the perfect moment to make sure that you benefit from the efforts you\u2019ve already made to acquire work experience, training, and possibly credentials, designations, or diplomas\/degrees. \u00a0 Part of this stock-taking includes your work environment and work role: Are you content in your workplace? Are there problems that you\u2019ve been avoiding at work? Do you feel ready to move on or take on different tasks or responsibilities? Are you feeling like things are changing somehow in ways that might not suit you? Choose the best possible opportunities for yourself. This article about Professional Derailment<\/a> may help you with your decisions. \u201cThe trees are about to show us how lovely it is to let the dead things go.\u201d – Anonymous \"\" Just like autumn leaves, sometimes we need to shed old work habits or take the time to rake in some extra income by improving our existing career or business. Workplaces are changing. Lately, I\u2019ve branched out and explored some new topics because of what I\u2019m seeing. \u00a0 For instance, many of us believe that it\u2019s considered impolite to discuss religion or politics at work. Our news feeds are dominated by stories that feel very political, so while it\u2019s often tempting, it is wise to avoid those topics. With that said, to say nothing about the elephant in the room can injure your corporate culture. In most workplaces, there\u2019s someone who is or is connected to an immigrant, a Jewish person, a Muslim person, someone from the LGBTQ community, a person with disabilities, a person of colour, or a First Nations person. These people may feel vulnerable and\/or under attack as a direct result of what\u2019s seen in the news. Here are some ideas about how to discuss values<\/a> without mentioning politics or religion at work. \u00a0 You\u2019ve probably heard the terms Coded Language and Dog Whistle Expressions being thrown around. Curious to know more? Here\u2019s a lesson<\/a>. NEWS AND UPDATES This fall, instead of participating in some of the same events that I attended last year, I\u2019m writing a magazine article about the desperate need to minimize the risks of cyber and other insider threats. This article will serve as a wakeup call about the importance of improving organizations\u2019 resilience to digital and analog insider threats. You\u2019ll also see that I\u2019m keeping busy with my volunteer efforts through the Zonta eClub of Canada<\/a>. \"\"<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a> Copyright \u00a9 *|LIST:COMPANY|*, All rights reserved. *|IFNOT:ARCHIVE_PAGE|* *|LIST:DESCRIPTION|* Our mailing address is: *|HTML:LIST_ADDRESS_HTML|* *|END:IF|* Want to change how you receive these emails?
