Our PREMIER Issue

September is here, and while many companies are busy crunching numbers for next year’s budgets and goals, most of us are just trying not to feel crunched ourselves. The office coffee pot is working overtime, deadlines are multiplying like rabbits, and yes—it’s officially the season of pressure...

If you aren't careful, pressure can sneak up and overwhelm you. Before you know it, you're a mess. Sitting in your chair, sweating, heart racing, and dreading the thought of doing any work. Fortunately there are some tricks to dealing with pressure. With a little practice, you can turn nerve-wracking stress into pure motivation...

There’s no doubt that we live in a world that is chock full of both stress and pressure. There are so many things that we feel we have to accomplish that it feels like there aren’t enough hours in that day to do what needs to get done. We have responsibilities at work. We have responsibilities to our loved ones. We have responsibilities to ourselves. All these various responsibilities can carry a heavy emotional and physical weight.

In business, numbers speak loudly—but we don’t always want to speak in exact numbers. Sometimes, we just need to describe whether we have a lot or a little of something. That’s where quantifiers come in. These small but powerful words help us describe how much or how many we have of something without needing to be exact.
