January 2013 ISSUE #7 | 1/7/13

I  don’t  know  about  you,  but  I’ve  set  hundreds  of  goals  throughout  my  life.    Big  and  little.    Complex  and  simple.    Short  term  and  long  term.    From  an  early  age,  people  urged  us  to  have  goals.    Parents  and  teachers  “swore”  that  goals  get  us  where  we  want  to  go.    Later,  bosses  emphasized  that  goals  improve  productivity,  enhance  performance,  and  increase  accountability.    At  some  point,  we  ourselves  concluded  that  goals  are  good.    With  the  new  year  right  around  the  corner,  these  questions  might  come  in  handy  when  setting  your  new  goals.      

·∙ Is  your  desire  aligned  with  your  values?    Remember  your  personal  “brand”!  

·∙ Is  your  desire  worth  your  focus?    ·∙ Is  your  desire  worth  your  time?    Don’t  

stretch  yourself  too  thin!  ·∙ Is  your  desire  worth  your  

energy?    Women  often  times  forget  that  we  do  not  have  an  unlimited  supply  of  this.  

·∙ Is  your  desire  worth  your  monetary  investment?    

·∙ Is  your  desire  worth  the  self  sacrifice  involved?    

   

President’s Message

The  right  goals  are  like  gold.    They  make  you  happy  and  whole.    They  fill  you  up.    They  bring  you  peace.    At  the  beginning  of  this  new  year,  carve  out  some  quiet  hours  to  explore  your  aspirations.      Think  about  whether  they  are  worth  becoming  goals.        I  plan  to  dig  deep  and  pause  long  enough  to  pinpoint  a  few  goals  this  year  to  strengthen  relationships  and  be  a  positive  example  to  those  around  me.    

 Tammy Selley, President

 

SPOTLIGHT ON

DENISE IRWIN

Denise Irwin has had numerous work related opportunities in a number of locations and across varied businesses. She has spent time managing a furniture store in the Northern Utah area, working for hospital admissions in Washington State, and managing a photo studio in Colorado. Since moving to Cache Valley in 2006 she has found herself as the Business Manager for the University Inn and Conference Center at Utah State University. Denise’s love for problem solving and desire to work hard and see a job to completion has given her the opportunity to develop new programs and facilitate a more successful and stream-lined process for managing the financial systems in her department. She is well respected by her colleagues and peers and has been recognized as the employee of the month on three occasions.

Denise has been a member of The Women In Business organization since 2009, and currently serves as the secretary for the organization. She appreciates the wonderful opportunity it is to promote women, specifically as it relates to future education and business opportunities. She considers this program to not only be significant but absolutely crucial for the future success of women in our community.

Denise loves spending time with her five children and five grandchildren. Their family especially loves to boat together. Additionally, Denise has developed a love for motorcycle cruising and she and her husband rode back to the Illinois area this past spring over a ten day period of time. Aside from some wind and weather the trip was wonderful and memorable. One of Denise’s greatest loves is gardening and that is where she goes to relieve stress. She has joked frequently that you can gage the happiness or frustration of her day based on how much time she has spent in her garden.
