Corporate Wellness Consultant, Hayley Hines, Featured on Influencers Radio A twenty-year veteran in the industry, Hines, certified in many disciplines of health and nutrition, as well as having advanced degrees in health management, discussed the intricacies and benefits of having a welldesigned wellness program in a company. Hines shared, “Wellness programs have changed and evolved over the last several years. They have gotten more sophisticated and comprehensive, requiring that everyone be on board from the senior leadership all throughout an organization. All of the policies and decisions need to be in alignment, with a focus to create a healthy culture.
We help identify what those elements are within an organization and help them create sustainable behavior change, including offering screenings and assessments, weight and stress management programs, health coaching and activity tracking, all the way to changing the food that they order for meetings, as well.” Hines focuses on making healthy choices available, rather than imposing restrictions on the employees. Many of these choices could be simple ones, such as adding healthy foods in the cafeteria or making sure employees have access to a stairwell or fitness center. She pointed out that mental well-being can be as important, if not more important, as physical well-being. As an example, she shared data that indicated higher cost implications associated with stress related health issues, than weight control issues. Armed with years of data from insurance companies and industry research, as well as her professional experiences, Hines shares pertinent examples with companies of the negative impact on their financial bottom line when a good wellness program is not put in place, in addition to the potential lives that could be lost. According to Hines, “Now that there’s more research and data available, employers are getting a little more aggressive. They’re getting more interested in these types of programs, and are highly incentivizing their population to participate and stay engaged in them. We are able to show that even moderate exercise, moderate activity in a population can potentially save an employer up to 20% in annual healthcare costs on those employees, compared to employees that don’t exercise. It only takes 5,000 steps a day to see those kinds of savings. So it’s a very significant opportunity for employers to save not only on their healthcare spend, but also when it comes to increased productivity, reduced absenteeism, and increased morale. The healthcare cost is one part of it, but that’s only about 25% of the total opportunity for savings. And there are a lot of different things that are impacted when employees feel great and take care of themselves. So it’s a really exciting opportunity for employers to really dive in and be aggressive and create a comprehensive opportunity for their population to create a healthier lifestyle.” In this interview, Hayley Hines showed how her expertise in health management programs can impact not only the bottom line for companies, but can save lives, as well.

Why Spring Cleaning Is Important For Health By johnbraun Your house just doesn’t feel as good towards the end of the winter as it did at the beginning of the fall. You’ve been shut up inside for the better part of up to 5 months, the air in the house is stale, the carpets are hit and you’re just ready for some new life from the new change of seasons. One company in Columbus, Ohio has dedicated their services and have built their company around educating the public about the importance of cleaning for health. They even offer a FREE guide on “How To Allergy Proof Your Home” to area residents that request one. Why do most people clean in the spring? Spring is the time of year when most people go into somewhat of a “frenzy” to do some serious house cleaning or outdoor cleaning of the garage or the yard, etc. The reason why is, they’ve been shut up in the house for most of the winter and warmer weather is a key motivator that they need to get up and do something. What do most people expect from spring cleaning? Most people clean in the spring because it’s a tradition or habit they’ve developed because when their house has that clean feeling, it makes them feel better about themselves and their belongings. They get an opportunity to open up the windows and let some fresh air in, something they may not have been able to do
since the late fall season. Especially those who live in cold weather climates. Who should really do spring cleaning? Everyone! But especially those who suffer from allergies, asthma and other breathing disorders. All winter long the house has been shut and one’s carpet becomes a breeding ground for airborne bacteria, mold spores, dust mite feces, pet dander, cat saliva, pollen, pollutants from ice melt chemicals, mud, dirt, sand and grit that we and our pets bring in from the outside. All of these things get lodged in our carpets, furnishings, bedding and draperies and they need to be cleaned. By reducing these allergens, dust particles and pollutants, we make our homes far healthier than if we didn’t clean it. When and how often should you clean? You should be proactive and clean before the appearance of your belongings tell you they should be cleaned. If it already looks bad, you’ve probably waited too long. Environmental Protection Agency studies tells us that our carpets should be cleaned every 6 to 12 months, especially if you have young children, elderly parents or if anyone suffers from various breathing disorders. How should your carpets be cleaned? Shaw Industries, the world’s largest carpet manufacturer, recommends hot water extraction as their preferred method for cleaning the carpet that they produce. Hot water extraction from a truck-mounted unit can produce heat from 190 to 245 degrees, killing and flushing out any germs and bacteria that may be growing in your carpet. And with a professional truck-mounted system, the powerful vacuum is able to suck up many of the other sediments that may be lodged in your carpet.

From Real Nightmare Back To “American Dream,” DrawInCustomers.com Educates Business Owners By MatthewPeters Every year ambitious Americans take the plunge and start their own business, but what begins for many as an American Dream quickly becomes a nightmare. According to U.S. Census Bureau statistics, nearly half of all startup businesses do not make it through their 5th year and the outlook for those that do is grim—8 in 10 startups ultimately fail. So how does one make the move from budding entrepreneur to up-and-coming small business owners? Of course there is no single answer that fits every business, but a common problem is an underdeveloped marketing strategy.

Thankfully, there are experts that can help remedy small business owners’ marketing headaches. James Kademan, CEO of DrawInCustomers.com, is one of those experts. Kademan and his colleagues help small businesses improve their marketing strategies by examining shortcomings and identifying areas for improvement in their business models.

Melissa Wenenn Uses Internationally Proven System To Fight Bullying By AlexChangho A recent bullying incident in Liberty, Missouri has emboldened a local business owner to step up her efforts to protect children from an all-too-familiar problem in schools: Bullying. “Don’t worry about it,” just doesn’t work, says Melissa Wenenn. Wenenn runs Pride Martial Arts with her husband, Senior Master Jack Wenenn. Martial arts has been known for building confidence and respect in children, as well as teaching self-defense skills. These skills are even more relevant today with the changing face of bullying. “Today there are more ways to bully,” says Wenenn. A generation ago, bullying usually involved gossip or physical confrontation that was limited to school or the playground. Today, the effects of bullying follow children home as social media platforms such as Snap Chat, Facebook, and Twitter make targeting victims available from anywhere. Bullying isn’t a new problem, but has attracted the media spotlight with several recent events. In Liberty, Missouri, a middle school sixth grader was severely beaten and hospitalized by another boy in the school cafeteria. The boys’ parents had informed the school, even by certified letter, over a month prior to the incident. While much attention has been placed on tightening school policies, and the school administration’s response to the beating, bullying is a much more complex issue, which requires a more comprehensive response. Wenenn has introduced local schools to the OLWEUS Bullying Prevention Program, a system designed to teach teachers and students how to prevent incidents like in Liberty. “One of the problems is that not all schools have a definition of bullying,” says Wenenn. Without a clear definition, it is difficult for teachers and administrators to prevent or respond to bullying. The OLWEUS system defines bullying as having three important components: Bullying is aggressive behavior that involves unwanted, negative actions Bullying involves a pattern of behavior repeated over time Bullying involves an imbalance of power or strength This clear definition will make it easier for teachers to separate bullying from the times that “boys will be boys.” “It’s harder and harder for teachers and even school counselors to know how to handle this issue without knowing what to do and having set procedures all the way down to the classroom. Having something districtwide will be beneficial to protect not just the children, but the teachers as well.”
While having these procedures will be essential to school systems, Wenenn makes it clear that bullying will not be solved simply by enacting policies. Ultimately, bullying can be prevented by focusing on the targets themselves: the children. “’Just look away’ works for a little bit, but doesn’t work long term, and when someone is saying degrading things to you, you can only ignore it for so long.” The OLWEUS training that Wenenn has implemented in her own business has already shown results. Children who have taken her martial arts training, along with the Bullying Prevention, have already developed more confidence, and have been better able to handle bullying at school. Wenenn’s goal is to share the OLWEUS Bullying Prevention Program with all local schools, to reduce the effects of bullying for all children.

Financial Planners’ Reputations More Important Than Ever With New Obama Rule By lcwwealth@yahoo.com A recent New York Times article highlighted the growing debate around “fiduciary responsibility.” That is, financial institutions’ obligations to their customers (or the lack thereof). At the center of this debate is a conflict of interest. There are businesses that are designed to make money by giving you advice but what happens when what’s best for your financial future isn’t the same as what’s best for their financial future? Carl Richards, the author of the article, offers three pieces of advice for finding a respectable financial advisor: “A quick prescription without a diagnosis describes too many investors. People need advice that fits their
financial situation, not someone else’s.” Ask about conflicts of interest. “The professionals who don’t hesitate to pull back the curtain are more likely to put your interests first.” “Ask financial professionals two questions: How much do I pay you? And who else is paying you?” Richards goes on to say that, “many of us have learned that we should never judge a book by its cover. In that same vein, we really shouldn’t care about titles, job descriptions, or even where someone works. What we should focus on is what someone actually does.” “One way to deal with this new level of accountability is to address it head on,” says authority-positioning consultant Lisa Williams. “Before your clients start asking, ‘how much do I pay you?’ or ‘who else is paying you?,’ start building your authority as a trusted advisor and address the hard questions.” In the eyes of experts like Williams, the general public’s heightened sensitivity is an opportunity for any financial planner ready to seize it. “Your articles, videos, and blog posts should be educating and advocating on behalf of your customers,” she explains. “You can establish a stronger reputation and credibility by being featured in the media or by writing a book addressing questions such as the ones Richards raises.” It’s an important time to be a financial planner who is willing to put the investor’s interests first. Then any potential losses you incur (from recommending the best investment strategy for them) will be more than recuperated from the higher level of credibility you will establish. This credibility can result in media exposure that creates more trust, which means more subsequent business. The bottom line is this: You’ve been put on alert, financial planners. Your reputations are on the line, now more than ever before. Consider viewing quotes from President Obama differently, like the following: “You want to give financial advice, you’ve got to put your client’s interests first. You can’t have a conflict of interest.” Instead of running away with your tails between your legs, view this as an opportunity. Lisa Williams is an authority positioning consultant for professionals who make a living charging for their advice, experience, and expertise.

Your Cluttered Home And Office May Be Costing You Thousands Of Dollars Per Year By AlexChangho “People don’t realize the impact clutter has on their lives,” says Summer Rose, founder of Star Organizers in New York City. “The extra fifteen minutes a day they spend looking for something they’ve misplaced or just threw somewhere because they didn’t have a home for it in the first place – those fifteen minutes add up quickly. What could you do with almost two extra hours every week? Imagine how often you say, ‘I wish I had more time,’ ‘I’m too busy,’ or ‘I have too many things to do.’” Rose has found that living in an unorganized home or working in a mess also impacts people’s mindsets and energy. “When your space is cluttered, it often causes your mind to be cluttered, as well.” While there is a common perception that “being messy” has no impact on someone’s professional performance, Rose sees the exact opposite. Working in a cluttered office can make it more difficult to make decisions and think clearly. “When your mind is focused on all the little tasks at home that you need to conquer, you’re not focusing on your business.” Organizational tasks that can clutter your mind include putting away laundry, going through piles of paper cluttering up the counters, and tidying up before guests arrive. The solution is not always custom closets or organizational systems. Much like home gym equipment oftentimes becomes a family’s most expensive coat rack, closet systems can become fancy shelves to hide a mess. “A custom closet, while it may be beautiful, isn’t going to hang up your designer denims that you tried on before making a decision on what to wear,” says Rose. Celebrity organizer Geralin Thomas of A&E’s Hoarders agrees. “There are many wonderful products available to help you get organized and stay organized, and although I don’t recommend running out and buying an expensive closet system, there are a few basic items that might be helpful.” These basics include things like hanging rods, shoeboxes, hangers, and a light fixture. Here are 5 Tips to Eliminate Clutter and Be More Productive, courtesy of Summer Rose: 1) Pick out your clothes the night before. It may seem juvenile (hearken back your elementary school days), but many women try on at least three items before deciding what to wear. And if you’re rushing out to a meeting, imagine how much less stress you would have if you already knew what you were going to wear. “You will be able to focus on your upcoming meeting or project instead of your sartorial choices.” 2) Organize your computer files. Instead of saving everything onto your desktop or documents folder, use a consistent naming convention and a system for all of your files, especially photos. It makes it so much easier if you know your folder path to your files instead of saving everything to your desktop. You will also feel less cluttered each time you open up your computer. You’ll actually get to enjoy your background photo. 3) Store items in pretty containers. “I have aesthetically pleasing boxes stacked Click here to read more…
