February Newsletter
President’s Message
Building good relationships in the workplace is in many ways similar to building good relationships outside of work. Similar to making friends in your neighborhood or at church, you need to get a good feel for the culture, and then rely on some common sense. February is known as the month for love and relationships. I recently read some tips for building quality relationships in the office, with the neighbors, or in your family.
The February luncheon topic is “Going for Goals”. This is a perfect topic to rejuvenate our New Year’s resolutions. I hope to see many of you at the luncheon! Tammy Selley, President
*Do not try too hard. Anyone who comes across as too eager, whether at work or in another type of relationship, could turn people off. When you try too hard, you might come across as pushy. Take time to listen to others. *Earn people’s respect. One way to build your connections at work is through your attitude, quality of work and reliability. *Do not rely on email alone. Email is so popular these days, but it is somewhat impersonal. Make an extra effort to actually talk to a person. Pick up the phone or stop by to visit. Face to face interaction is key for solid relationships. *Seek to understand others. Try to be patient and seek to understand where they are coming from. *Do what you say you will do. One of the best ways to build a relationship with someone is to do the things you say you will do. Commitment and reliability will foster relationships. *Do not whine. Be as positive and friendly as you can and people will naturally be drawn to you.

John Boyd “Going For Goals”
Nullam ac ipsum gravida sem placerat suscipit.
“One of most universally applicable things I talk about, and the central theme to my book, relates to the key factors in achieving a goal, like business growth (or job search), etc. Specifically, every person on their way to a goal experiences the following: • Spark of inspiration • Formation an idea or hypothesis on a goal to achieve • Decision to act or not act • If we act, there will inevitably be obstacles • We sometimes get stuck - invalidated assumptions, real problems and hurdles • How do we get unstuck • Creative Problems Solving - how to use divergent and convergent thinking • Getting market feedback as we act and get unstuck • Synthesizing that information • Adjusting our hypothesis based on the new information • Continuing action

In Conjunction with our IT conference the student organization AIS (Association for Information Systems) is sponsoring a Women in Technology Luncheon. The date is Feb 7th, at noon. The event will be held in the OC Tanner Lounge in the Huntsman School of Business. I was wondering if anyone from our WIB would like to be involved with this event? The AIS club is looking for a local woman who is in the Technology field to participate on a panel discussion. They are also looking for a company or organization who might like to be a sponsor for this event. Thank you, Jamie Jamie Andrus: Associate Director, Partners in Business Jon M.

Cache Chamber of Commerce
Women in Business Scholarship
This is a thank you note we received from one of the scholarship recipients from last year. Ladies, In November I completed my Law Enforcement Officer certification at BATC, thanks to a generous WIB scholarship. It was quite a journey. The academy began in late May. On the first day it was clear that I was a bit older than the other 21 males in the class who had been attending the other sections since January. Being the only female and the matron was interesting. I held my own during the miles and miles of running, endless pushups and sit-ups. I was beat up and bruised during the baton and defensive tactics training, but I survived. Defensive tactics was the most challenging as it is a personal weakness. I was often paired with the biggest guy in the class (a mere 250 lbs) to prove that even the smallest person could fight their way out of a situation. And the classwork was as challenging as any college class, but twice as interesting. The completion of my last law enforcement certificate allows me to move anywhere in the Cache County Sheriff's Office, as Sheriff Nelson sees fit. It also provides me with a new knowledge base that helps me understand the entire law enforcement picture more clearly. I sincerely appreciate the opportunity that you have provided to me. It was a great experience, but I am glad I never have to do it again. Respectfully, Holly !-- Holly Dixon Sergeant, Cache County Jail

Did$you$know…$
Research published in the Journal of Pain & Symptom Management found that: terminally-ill patients who received hospice care lived on average 29 days longer than those who did not opt for hospice near the end of life.
Our Hospice Team offers specialized knowledge & support at the end of life just as obstetricians & midwives lend support & expertise at the start of life.
Hospice can reduce anxiety in both the terminally ill patient & their family by helping them make the most of the time remaining & achieve some level of acceptance.
When terminally ill patients make the decision to receive hospice care instead of continued curative treatment, they avoid the dangers of over-treatment.
In-home care from a hospice team often means the patient receives greater monitoring than he or she would in a hospital.
In addition to focusing on the physical health & comfort of a patient, our hospice team also focuses on the emotional needs & spiritual well-being of the terminally ill & their loved ones.
Since we offer substantial support & training for family caregivers, it also helps many patients feel less of a burden to their loved ones.
