JSpire was created with love and passion for helping others.  Compelled to make a difference in the recruiting business, Janice Shisler, Founder/Principal of JSpire Recruiting, created a brand that focuses on making an exceptional recruitment experience for the candidate while successfully blending them with the Company’s expectations.

JSpire collaboratively advises and supports the client companies and candidates by connecting the right company with the right candidate.  The creation of the LifeWork Solution has become an excellent model for our recruitment business. Janice approaches the LifeWork solution with the idea that “Companies want people who are committed to the opportunity and who love the city. Most candidates are looking for a career transition, an improved work/life balance, or simply looking for a better opportunity. Rather than finding a candidate and placing them into a role that might be a fit, we look for the best LifeWork Solution for both the client company and candidate.”

With every placement, JSpire focuses on every aspect of the hiring process ensuring the recruitment process is customized for each client company, while making a personalized connection with the candidates.

“We want people to feel good about the company they are going to work for, but we also want the company to feel engaged and part of the recruitment process,” Janice explains. “This is what distinguishes JSpire. JSpire’s true philosophy is People Blossom and Companies Flourish.”

Not only has Janice created a legacy in the world of executive recruiting, she has created a company based on a culture of hard work and success that you can trust and appreciate.

Every industry has found success in one way or another through individual processes and protocols. But how does one go about bringing in an entirely new executive with a different mindset, ideas, and work value construct while still maintaining a strong atmosphere?

Most importantly, get a head start and begin creating a list of expectations of the work that needs to be done. Prepare for a winning mindset by having a plan in place that will properly onboard any new executive or employee. Take advantage of the first 100 days of the job by relying on an action plan that integrates the mission and vision for the company.

Communicate with the new hire. While there may be a lot of information to give and for the executive to retain, stress the importance and the goal of the successful atmosphere that has been built. If you are unable to communicate the desires for the position, when something does occur, a rushed reaction may result, leading to chaos. Plan out what needs to be completed and effectively communicate the goals.

Build a team centered on success. Identify key members that will be an asset to the role and allow them to grow, learn and evolve with the new executive hire. A team built on trust and compatibility has all of the makings to continue a successful pattern of business. The most effective practices come from a collaborative team environment to ensure the companies strategic and operational initiatives are met with a successful team!

Love is in the air. But, that love may not be felt as much as it should if you don’t love the job you are in. So, how can you rekindle that old flame you once had?

To begin, step back. Take time to reflect on what excited you about your job and focus on your priorities. Think about your life and how you wish to live it.

Once you have taken the time to reflect and prioritize, go out and get what you want. Don’t assume people know what you want or what you are thinking. Express yourself in a productive way that points to what will be conducive to your happiness and the overall production of your work.

Plan out time to do the work you love. Everyone has priorities and everyday duties but by making time for the work that first brought you into your position, your love for your work will grow, and the aggravation that is associated with doing the tasks that you may not like to do will lessen with time.

Change your surroundings. Adjust your office, work in different environments and volunteer for new projects that may give you a different perspective and allow you the opportunity to learn something new. Find avenues that you can step outside of the everyday work routine and provide you with a peace of mind that will set you up for success.

Transform things you can control. Be your own light at the end of the tunnel. Take time for yourself and breathe. Refuse to let negative people or situations get you down. Envision success and put yourself wholeheartedly into it.

Tax season is upon us which means preparation is crucial for success. For some, a system has been established to ensure smooth sailing during this otherwise stressful time. For others, tax season can bring uneasiness and unneeded stress.

Here are four helpful tips to help you de-stress and come out on top this tax season:

• Turn off your smartphone. The quiet will allow you to focus on what is important. Smartphones are linked to an increase in stress because of the added stress for an immediate response, so by taking a 5, 10, or 30-minute break without the unnecessary stress, you will be able to conquer the daunting tax numbers with a clearer mind.
• Organize your desk and your tax forms. By organizing your workplace, you will be able to find necessary documents and reports, resulting in a smoother tax process. Organization will help make a path for sanity in what may feel like a world filled with chaos.
• Get moving. Establish a routine of exercise for at least 20 minutes to allow for a reduction in stress levels and circulation to continue to flow. Exercise has been proven to reduce stress and release endorphins, which trigger a positive feeling in the brain.
• Create a positive work day and smile. When you are unhappy, being positive and smiling can improve your mood and outlook on life. Not only are they both contagious but it also strengthens your immune system, ensuring you get through the tax season, illness and stress-free.

Remember to set calendar reminders for tax due dates to reduce stress levels as well.
