One of the 5 P’s of Life is “Profession” – your work, whether you work for someone or are self-employed. If you’re not satisfied with your work life, then take control and make changes. Set goals for this aspect of life by stretching your skills and expanding your network. Every Wednesday, we offer tips via Twitter to help you with your work life. Below are tips we tweeted in July.

Be effective on your team by showing up and taking responsibility for your actions.

Give co-workers advance notice if you have caregiving responsibilities for a sick or aging parent.
