Top Tips For Advancing Your Career Within the Workplace - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Sanda

It can be frustrating to see opportunities for promotion pass you by because others just don’t seem to recognise your strengths, your experiences and the dedication you bring to your current job. Unfortunately, to be considered for a promotion, often it is how well known you are within your office, department or company, and in how good a light you are displayed within this environment that dictates your chances for that career move. It isn’t enough to simply do your job well, to contribute good value and to be committed to your role. Other people need to see your contributions, your commitment and your achievements. And it is the people who make the decisions about job placements that particularly need to see your ability and worth…and they need to have seen it way before a promotional opportunity comes into play. That way, when an opportunity for career progression appears, you’re first on their list of potential candidates.
 
So how do you achieve this visibility? Well in a nutshell, your hard work needs to be showcased. You have to actively promote your achievements throughout the company, in a way that makes you attractive to your superiors.
 
Here are a few ideas on how to achieve this required self promotion:
 
Don’t run away from challenges. If you are faced with a problem, think of how it can be solved, and think creatively. Then present these ideas to your co-workers and superiors. Work with them to generate a proactive discussion on the best way to respond to this challenge, and then volunteer to take the lead in implementing the chosen plan. Acting in this way not only shows you as a creative problem solver, it also highlights your ability to bring individuals together to problem solve, and your leadership skills in terms of project delivery.
 
Volunteer. When projects come up that need some extra support, put yourself forward. When co-workers are struggling to meet a deadline, volunteer to support them in any way that you can – even if that is simply providing them with ongoing cups of coffee and biscuits. And if your company takes on a social responsibility to support the local or wider community, volunteer to get involved and support this cause in whichever way you can.
 
Let people know that you want to be promoted. There is of course a way to do this – you don’t need to be so vocal that it becomes a little off putting or overbearing! But it is also no good sitting there hoping for a promotion is no-one is aware of your intentions or desires.
 
Try to push yourself and your work capabilities. Are there any tasks that your manager usually completes that you might be able to have a go at fulfilling? Are there any opportunities for you to learn a new skill, or to take on a more prominent role in the completion of a task or project? If so, seize these opportunities to develop yourself and to demonstrate that you can work at a higher level once given the opportunity.

Is Happiness a Question of Age? - Ajit Patel UK

At what age did you feel the happiest? Or perhaps  you feel your happiest years are yet to come? Many  people believe that childhood is the happiest time of  life and things steadily decline as we get older and  grumpier, but this is only partially true. According to  psychologists, happiness is high during youth, hits  a low point in your mid-40s and then starts to rise  steadily as you grow older. And the results aren’t  isolated to one country or culture – the same pattern  occurs in over 70 countries across the globe. Experts  have struggled to explain why this U-shaped happiness  pattern occurs, but similar results have been identified  in over 500 apes, whose carers were asked to assess  the apes’ happiness on a scale of one to 10.  The results showed that, like humans,  younger and older apes were both  happier than middle-aged  apes. This suggests the  reasons are physiological  rathe...

How Much Sleep Do We Really Need? - Ajit Patel UK

It is often noted that the best amount of sleep is between six to seven hours a night, but for some, that can be either too little – or for fewer, too much. Burning the midnight oil may be a sign of unnatural strength, but insomnia is no trivial matter; for the political titan, the late Margaret Thatcher, it was something of an characteristic. Considered a mark of endurance, the late-to-bed-early-to-wake routine may be something of a superhuman power, but how good is it in the long-run? In a high-profile, heavily-demanding job, the pressures of a businesslike lifestyle is not one that should be taken lightly. Whilst something of a trophy, surviving on four hours of sleep is not the sign of a healthy body or a sound mind; although, in some cases, there is competition to see which person has the least amount of sleep. The hours are long, the time is short and having free time is something of a luxury. It is suggested that the type of job that you have will adjust your need fo...

Using The Right Oils For Your Health - Ajit Patel UK

Oil gets a bad name sometimes. It’s a bad word – we associate it immediately with fat and gaining weight and that can make many people shy away from oils and try to remove them for their diet entirely. But this isn’t a good idea; some oils can actually be very beneficial to your health especially when they are used in moderation. But what are the right oils to use, and how to you know that you are doing the right thing? These days there are loads of different oils to choose from: rapeseed, groundnut, extra virgin, and the list just goes on and on. We no longer live in a wonderful where ‘olive oil’ is exotic; if anything it has become a standard that we all adhere to. The best choice is usually plant oils as they are generally higher in monounsaturates and polyunsaturates, which makes them better for you than most animal fats which generally contain higher levels of  saturated fats . Replacing saturated fats in your diet with unsaturated fats is generally very good for you. On...
