...stress every day. Without proper self-care, counselors will experience empathy fatigue. Empathy fatigue is a serious condition which impairs counselors. Impaired counselors are unable to fulfill the responsibilities of their helping role. Practicing regular self-care is crucial to the well-being of the counselor and therefore, the counselee. Centering Prayer is a form of self-care. This paper will discuss literature on the topic of Centering Prayer and explore two studies on the effectiveness of Centering Prayer in relieving stress. This information will be applied to preventing empathy fatigue in counselors. Research shows that counselors suffer empathy fatigue (Stebnicki, 2007). This condition “results from a state of emotional, mental, physical, and occupational exhaustion that occurs as the counselors’ own wounds are continually revisited by their clients’ life stories of chronic illness, disability, trauma, grief and loss” (Stebnicki, 2007, p. 318). Empathy fatigue is a state of counselor impairment. Conversely, the soul of the helping relationship is wellness....

Patient-driven health care can be characterized as having an increased level of information flow, transparency, customization, collaboration and patient choice and responsibility-taking, as well as quantitative, predictive and preventive aspects.

This paper examines three categories of novel health services: health social networks, consumer personalized medicine and quantified self-tracking.

...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Report will detail my concept of how to create the ideal HR department for the ______________________as it pertains to the specific and unique needs of ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬-_________________, and how to make __________________ “great place to work.” HR Competencies Given that the nature of the work performed by ¬_________________ is independent and not collaborative in nature, it is well-suited to teleworking. When questions do arise or input is requested, it is done through email. It is not necessary that any of that work be conducted in the physical office of _______________________. Telecommuting and virtual offices benefit the company and the employee. As Pomeroy (2007) pointed out, companies can waste enormous amounts of financial resources on “unused space.” When employees are not sitting at their desks, that empty space is dead and expensive real estate. While every employee in ¬_________________ had their own desk, desktop computer, office space and land-line phone, only 3-5 were in the office on any give work day. -_________________, paid rent on the building, bought office furniture, paid utilities, purchased desktop computers, and incurred many other overhead expenses assuming everyone would be using the space on the daily basis. It would have been far cheaper to rent less office space to house support staff, have available “day use” offices for employees to use on those occasions when they wanted to work in the office and conference...

...term ‘CC’, focusing instead on the knowledge, skills and attributes that appear to be its antecedents. In this conceptual study, we propose a definition of CC as it applies to international business and develop a model for understanding how CC is nurtured in individuals, linking our definition to the concept of cultural intelligence. We discuss the components of the model and suggest that there are environmental and contextual impediments to the effective application of the requisite skills, knowledge and attributes that have been identified as necessary for CC, resulting in a gap between ‘knowing’ and ‘doing’. We conclude by discussing the implications of the model for practitioners, and by suggesting appropriate directions for further research.
