2. NUTRITION NEWS YOU CAN USE
Eating Breakfast May Not Help Patients Lose Weight
In this study 309 overweight adults were randomly assigned to one of three groups. All three groups received a pamphlet about sound nutrition. Group one received nothing else, group two received instructions to eat breakfast before 10 a.m. daily; and the third group was told to consume nothing but water before 11 a.m. After four months there was little to no difference in weight loss between the three groups. The authors concluded: "A recommendation to eat or skip breakfast for weight loss was effective at changing self-reported breakfast eating habits, but contrary to widely espoused views this had no discernable effect on weight loss in free-living adults who were attempting to lose weight."
ACTION STEPS: Help your patients become more knowledgeable about safe and effective weight loss strategies. When you enter the keyword "weight control" in the search field at www.easyCPEcredits.com you will find 18 different CPE programs on this topic, including our latest Younger Next Week (C252).(See the previous paragraph.)

4. HOW TO Get PROMOTED FASTER--Part I
By Wolf J. Rinke, PhD, RDN, CSP
Now that the economy is improving it's time to think about getting promoted. Here are seven strategies to help you with that.
Be visible
Promotions go to people who are productive and visible. Seldom do they go to people "who are never around." So be visible which means that you show up early and leave late, attend critical meetings with important people, let the "powers-that-be" know what you are working on, and make every effort to get to know your boss really well including having lunch with her at least once a month. It also means that you avoid telecommuting even if it is offered to you, and if you are currently doing it, change it—because Woody Allen was correct: "80 percent of success is just showing up."
Don't be a "squeaky wheel"
Several of my clients' companies are doing very well and yet are selectively laying people off. Why? Because organizations have a need to renew themselves, and they do that by getting rid of people who are not contributing to the bottom line, who are "squeaky wheels", high maintenance, have persistent negative attitudes, are trouble makers, and/or whiners. (If you want to manage your squeaky wheels more effectively read my "Don't Oil the Squeaky Wheel" CPE program (C213) drastically reduced at http://www.wolfrinke.com/CEFILES/C213CPEcourse.htm). It is approved for 20 CPEUs and may even help you and your spouse manage your people more effectively. Here is how one dietitian has put it to really good use:
Wolf:
I purchased your leadership book "Don't Oil the Squeaky Wheel…" for my husband Lonnie at the nutrition Conference in Des Moines. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the book. My husband is a sales manager for a soft drink company, and he has been dealing with a handful of squeaky wheels in his sales operation that bring negativity to the whole department on a daily basis. Instead of solutions to problems, the squeaky wheels only bring complaints. They are a drain on his positive attitude and also his time. He posted a sign on his door, "I don't oil squeaky wheels anymore, I replace them." Thanks for the great book.

Solve problems
In this rebounding economy, you can no longer expect to be compensated for time, only for results and problems solved. So actively look for a problem, focus on one that impacts negatively on the bottom line, put a team together and solve it. Then, let others know (especially the powers-that-be) what a great job you and your team did, and how much your team improved the profitability of your organization. Yes, get in the habit of giving your credit away, and whatever you do, don't brag--your boss will figure out that you are the leader of the team and ultimately deserve the credit. BTW keeping your boss in the loop of your accomplishments is not bragging, it's a smart thing to do.
Do the things your boss does not like to do
Let's face it we all have strengths and weaknesses. The things we really like to do (our strengths) always get done. The things that represent our weaknesses somehow get pushed off to tomorrows "to-do list" or don't get done at all. To make yourself indispensable to your boss figure out what she does not like to do and do more of it. Consistently executing this strategy is one of your best to get promoted faster.
Make your boss feel good
Your boss, just like most people, likes to feel good. However people at the top have more challenges and more headaches. So make it a point to let your boss talk about herself—the more she does the more you can find out what is important to her, which makes it easy to exceed her expectation. Also be sure to catch your boss doing something right, or to find something positive to say to your boss whenever you accidentally, on purpose, run into her. (Don't know what to say? That just means you don't know her well enough.) And while you're at it, be sure to do the same for your team members and colleagues. Find it difficult to catch others doing something right and making that work for you? Devour my Winning Management CPE program, C188, 28 CPEUs, http://www.wolfrinke.com/CEFILES/cemgt.html#C188. If you prefer to learn in your car, this is also available in a 6CD album, C199, 10 CPEUs, http://www.wolfrinke.com/CEFILES/C199CPEcourse.htm.
Act as if you own the place
Any time you are confronted with a question, challenge or problem--for example you feel like going home early, buying a new piece of equipment, or responding to a troublesome patient--say to yourself: "What would I do if this were my company?" Then act accordingly.
Go beyond the expected
People who deliver more than expected typically get promoted faster. In other words:
Give 100% and you'll survive.
Give 110% and you'll thrive.
Give 111% and you will MAKE It a WINNING Life!!!
(My perpetual desk calendar reminds you of this, as well as 364 other powerful messages that will help you get promoted faster, http://www.wolfrinke.com/calendar.html).
For seven additional high impact strategies that will help you get promoted faster, read my next Read and Grow Rich eNL which will be released in early August.

6. HUMOR BREAK
Women's Revenge
"Cash, check or charge?", the sales clerk asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase.
As she fumbled for her wallet, the clerk noticed a TV remote control in the customer's purse.
"So, do you always carry your TV remote with you?", the clerk asked.
"No," replied the customer, "but my husband refused to come shopping with me, and I figured this is the most evil thing I could do to him legally."
