History of Mother’s Day

May 10, 2015 By: admin Category: Consumer Education

Mothering Sunday

Celebrating Mothers and their day dates back to 1600s in England. Referred to as Mothering Sunday , this day was celebrated annually on the fourth Sunday of Lent to honor mothers. After a prayer service in church to honor Mary, children brought gifts and flowers to pay tribute to their own mothers.
On this occasion, servants, apprentices and other employees staying away from their homes were encouraged by their employers to visit their mothers and honor them. Traditionally children brought with them gifts and a special fruit cake or fruit-filled pastry.
Julia Ward Howe
The idea of official celebration of Mothers day in US was first suggested by Julia Ward Howe in 1872. An activist, writer and poet Julia shot to fame with her famous Civil War song, “Battle Hymn of the Republic”. Julia Ward Howe suggested that June 2 be annually celebrated as Mothers Day and should be dedicated to peace. She wrote a passionate appeal to women and urged them to rise against war in her famous Mothers Day Proclamation, written in Boston in 1870. She also initiated a Mothers’ Peace Day observance on the second Sunday in June in Boston and held the meeting for a number of years. Julia tirelessly championed the cause of official celebration of Mothers Day and declaration of official holiday on the day. Her idea spread but was later replaced by the Mother’s Day holiday now celebrated in May.
Anna Jarvis
Jarvis is recognized as the Founder of Mothers Day in US. Though Anna Jarvis never married and never had kids, she is also known as the Mother of Mothers Day, an apt title for the woman who worked hard to bestow honor on all mothers.
Anna Jarvis was inspired to celebrate Mother’s on a special day from her own mother Mrs Anna Marie Reeves Jarvis in her childhood. An activist and social worker, Mrs Jarvis used to express her desire that someday someone must honor all mothers, living and dead, and pay tribute to the contributions made by them.
A loving daughter, Anna never forgot her mothers word and when her mother died in 1905, she resolved to fulfill her mothers desire of having a mothers day. Growing negligent attitude of adult Americans towards their mothers and a desire to honor her mothers soared her ambitions.
Anna together with her supporters wrote letters to people in positions of power lobbying for the official declaration of Mothers Day holiday. The hard work paid off. By 1911, Mother’s Day was celebrated in almost every state in the Union and on May 8, 1914 President Woodrow Wilson signed a Joint Resolution designating the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.
Present Day Celebrations
Today Mothers Day is celebrated in several countries including US, UK, India, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, Mexico, Canada, China, Japan and Belgium. People take the day as an opportunity to pay tribute to their mothers and thank them for all their love and support. The day has become hugely popular and in several countries phone lines witness maximum traffic. There is also a tradition of gifting flowers, cards and others gift to mothers on the Mothers Day. The festival has become commercialized to a great extent. Florists, card manufacturers and gift sellers see huge business potential in the day and make good money through a rigorous advertising campaign.

It is unfortunate to note that Ms Anna Jarvis, who devoted her life for the declaration of Mothers Day holiday was deeply hurt to note the huge commercialization of the day.

Nureni

May 10, 2015 By: admin Category: Consumer Education

Nureni is a business owner, a wife and a mother. Through Water.org she has access to a safe water tap in her kitchen. Read more about how this tap has helped her earn an income to put her son through school.
Nureni runs a breakfast shop out of her home which is situated in the center of Lembangsari Village, a small village outside of Tangerange, Indonesia. Nureni’s husband farms the rice fields that grow a short distance from their thatched-roof house
Each morning when her husband leaves for work, Nureni heads to the kitchen where she now has a water tap. She is able to boil fresh water to prepare a traditional rice and coconut dish of which she sells to neighbors and passers-by. The money she makes from selling this breakfast food helps to put her son through school.
Nureni’s son Rhian, is sixteen years old and he is in school learning to be a motorcycle mechanic. Thanks to the support his parents have provided him, Rhian will graduate from trade school next year. He looks forward to interning, and hopefully working at the motorcycle manufacturing plant just up the road from his family’s home.
Nureni is so pleased that through access to safe water, she is able to cook and sell food from her home. Furthermore, she is excited Rhian will graduation soon, and eventually have a career in motorcycle manufacturing.

Lead Like a Girl

Speaker: Tacy M Byham, Ph.D., Senior Vice President of DDI

The business case for diversity has never been stronger.
Organizations with more women consistently perform better
financially, according to data from The Global Leadership
Forecast 2014/2015 from DDI and The Conference Board.
So, although more women graduate from college than men
and are earning entry-level jobs in fields previously
dominated by men, women are still outnumbered in the
ranks of leadership. Come and listen to Tacy talk about
finding your strength and the leader within you, exploring
the confidence gap, identifying your personal wake-up call,
and super power your network!

Deepening the Coaching Relationship: Gestalt!

Presented by Ann Begler and Joanne Martin

Coaches often focus on supporting clients to achieve specific
targets or goals. Coaching from a Gestalt stance is uniquely
present centered, and captures action choices existing in the
moment that will yield long term impact. Gestalt coaching is
integrative and emphasizes awareness building in the two
parallel processes of coach and client.

In this highly experiential program you will learn and practice
with foundational Gestalt tools that support this present-centered
approach: Gestalt awareness, contact boundaries, the cycle of
experience and the use of self as instrument.

This program will offer Coaches the opportunity to enhance their
coaching skills in three ICF core competency clusters:

1. Co-creating the relationship
2. Communicating effectively
3. Facilitating learning and results

Here are 10 ways to make your business more valuable:

May 10, 2015 By: admin Category: Consumer Education

1. Don’t let it be just you.
Many small businesses suffer from the all-controlling owner who not only knows how to do everything but also insists on being part of everything. But overreliance on a single individual – you or anyone else – can be a red flag to potential buyers if the shoes they have to fill appear too big, or it appears that the business model itself can’t stand on its own.
2. Avoid excessive customer concentration.
Buyers dislike seeing a small number of key customers accounting for the bulk of sales. Work to diversify your customer base – by size, numbers, geographically and other factors. You should also know that if you have a highly concentrated customer list when your business sells, you may be asked to include a so-called “erosion clause” in the deal that lowers the price if a top customer leaves.
3. Keep financial statements and tax returns in line.
It’s vital to have good accounting systems and financial safeguards in place, and to keep accurate records and statements. Any buyers will want to examine these records as part of a due diligence process. Also try to avoid adjustments or add-backs, which don’t look good.
4. Don’t be too dependent on a key employee.
It’s not unusual for a small company to encounter problems if a top salesperson leaves and takes along some key accounts. The problem can also arise with a technical expert, machine operator or “indispensable” office manager.
5. Negotiate the right kind of lease.
You might think a month-to-month lease is great because it offers flexibility. But buyers and banks think more about how expensive it is to move a business. In fact, for other than professional type businesses, banks are reluctant to lend for longer than the term of a lease, including options. No lease can mean no sale.
6. Keep your technology up to date.
Use the expertise you have in your industry to get technology up-to-speed, show increased efficiencies (and profits) and sell for a higher price. A business that seems stuck in the technological past will be a turnoff to potential buyers.
7. Avoid any “off the books” cash.
There isn’t a CPA around who will let a business buyer pay a price based on unreported cash. Don’t consider this part of the value of your business.

8. Grow your revenues.
This one’s rather obvious, but true. A business doing $500,000 in sales won’t sell for the same multiple of profits as a similar business doing $5 million. There are simply more risk factors associated with a smaller business. A minor hiccup to a larger operation can be a major disruption to a smaller one.
9. Keep business and personal matters separate.
Many small business owners have received lower prices or haven’t been able to sell a business at all because they’ve co-mingled their personal and business finances. Sure, it’s sometimes easier to pay for things out of your own pocket, or have your business cover expenses that are really personal in nature in order to get the tax write-off. But, the bottom line is that banks and buyers want to see profits. Show a lot of profit, pay some tax and it will come back to you in multiples when it comes time to sell.
10. Make it a business, not a 24/7 commitment.
Maybe you’re willing to work all the time, but most buyers aren’t. They may not have the same passion for your product or service; instead they have business skills to leverage what you’ve done. Hire employees and learn to delegate.

Debbie Constantin, is a LPGA Master Professional and Certified Titleist Performance Institute Golf Fitness Instructor.
Debbie philosophy is, “Each and every one of us is unique in physical build, age, flexibility, strength, athletic abilities and understanding of the golf swing. I do not believe there is just one way to swing a club and I do not believe in trying to mold everyone to swing the club the same way.
How you swing is going to depend on what your body can do. My goals are to help you learn to swing in the most efficient manner possible to the best of your abilities, while adding consistency to your golf game.”
