Dear Reader...

Welcome to Camino Alto's Advice Column! This is a place where you can write to me about anything that is troubling you at work or in your career and I will try my best to help you. I'm particularly excited about embarking on this journey because I will be writing (which is how I express myself best), and hopefully helping people as well (which is what motivates me the most). So read on to see how this works...

Feel free to submit your questions or concerns here and I will try to get back to you within 48hrs. All questions and responses will be published on this website at this location, so if you're not comfortable about sharing your identity, just provide your initials. Your email address is optional.

Please try to keep your question to 200 words otherwise I may have to trim it for length purposes.

Topics should be anything to do with work. Examples include but are not limited to:

• choosing the right career path or contemplating a career change

• interview preparation

• examining new avenues in the workplace

• maximize your performance

• enhancing your communication style

• understanding yourself and others

• overcoming any obstacles or self-limiting beliefs

• managing conflict in the workplace

• making difficult decisions

• managing workplace stress and building resilience

• finding work-life balance

• improving your time management skills

• having difficult conversations with your manager/co-worker

• preparing for a role with greater responsibilities

• developing your leadership style

• motivating your employees

• building retention strategies

• increasing job satisfaction

• improving team interactions

• handling change in the workplace

• anything else that is work-related!

Looking forward to hearing from you!
