Moving into Management

-
Have you received a promotion at your job? The promotion you've been dreaming of to become one of the managers at the facility you have been working in? Shifting into a management position requires a new level of responsibility that may cause you to be anxious or uncertain. But no worries, there are simple things to remember to help boost your confidence and self esteem when moving into management! It all begins with knowing your personality. Managers have an inclination of wanting to improve faulty processes and being able to deal with complex situations. Knowing your personality will help you notice what your strengths are and what skills you can improve on during your journey. All managers have a certain type of leadership skill, but by understanding your personality type, you can further learn your management style and its areas for growth. The second tip to a smooth transition is to focus on your leadership skills. Leadership skills aren't only personal skills, but interpersonal skills. This depends on how you will interact with your employees and how well they respond to you. Being involved outside of work will enhance your leadership roles. This could be anything with volunteering at a food bank and learning to work with people of different backgrounds or even developing different events within church groups.

White or brown sugar? Cane or raw? Should we just go with Stevia instead? Is it even okay to consume artificial sweeteners? Should we avoid foods with high amounts of natural sugar in them? Each answer only seems to lead to another question!  Let’s start off with distinguishing the purpose of sugar in the first place. Do our bodies even need it? The short answer is yes! Sugars are carbohydrates (what we commonly call “carbs”), one of the three main macronutrients that our bodies need for fuel to function and survive. One of the major ways to categorize sugar is by separating the “natural” sugars from the “added” sugars. Natural sugars are, well, naturally found in foods. They give us the energy th

Just like with any nutrition topic, the facts about milk can become convoluted pretty quickly. Whether you drink milk for the protein, the nutrients, the flavor, or just like to switch it up, there are pros and cons to every kind. Here are some quick nutritional facts about each type to help you decide which is best for you. Animal-Based Milks  Whole Milk: The original diary drink. It gets a bad rap, but what whole milk has going for it, is that it’s in its proper nutritional form. Whole milk contains all of its original fat-soluble vitamins, A, E, D, & K, along with the fat to help you absorb them all. It also has the proper concentrations and ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids, or your omega-3s and omega-6s, so that they are metabolized as they should be. The downside is that whole milk is calorically dense, meaning that a little goes a long way. You don’t need much to get what you need, so just don’t overdo it!  2% Milk: The fat content of 2% milk is about half of that in who
