Biz Coach Terry Corbell: Need a Job? Recession and Offshoring Don’t Have to Be Obstacles

Germany’s unexpected .03 percent increase in gross domestic product is a source for optimism, according to Biz Coach Terry Corbell, http://www.bizcoachinfo.com .   And Mr. Corbell writes why the recession and offshoring are opportunities for growth.   As a longtime media columnist and business-performance consultant in Seattle, he has written 450+ business-coaching columns since 2001. Mr. Corbell currently writes an Internet business-coaching column, The Biz Coach, for the Money News page at Seattle's KIRO, the "2009 National Edward R. Murrow Award Winner for Overall Excellence."   The columns are updated and archived on the Terry Corbell Web site, The Biz Coach ( http://www.bizcoachinfo.com ), "Proven Solutions for Maximum Profits." With Germany’s success, Mr. Corbell predicts economists’ eyes will be on the U.S. GDP, a basic measure of the nation’s performance.   Is it the light of at the end of the proverbial tunnel? “We all hope so, and whether you are a manager or non-exempt employee, it is important to consider such a macro-economic view,” says The Biz Coach.   “But the U.S. recession will not be officially over until we get a definitive word from the National Bureau of Economic Research,” Mr. Corbell adds. “Not to be negative, but you might recall the official determination about the current recession was late – not until December 2008 – a full year after the bureau’s economists realized the recession originated 12 months earlier.   “During the 12 months, many on Main Street were already reeling from the effects of the severe downturn,” The Biz Coach explains. “The situation was exacerbated when big banks and credit card companies started cutting credit lines and imposing stiff fees in undesirable usury practices. “   He warns bosses planning their budgets and workforce should consider more than a macro-view of the economy. “For an accurate snapshot, use discernment in the micro factors directly and indirectly affecting you,” Mr. Corbell writes. “Listen closely to your customers. That also means: Don’t be fooled about many companies exceeding earnings expectations on Wall Street during the recession.”   Just like senior management, The Biz Coach believes non-exempt employees should be aware of the issues confronting their employers: “Higher profits do not equate with strong employment prospects, either.”   Mr. Corbell explains it is time for employees to understand why their companies lobby government for competitiveness – economic and political liberties as a result of mega corporate tax rates.   Just as automation replaced workers a few decades ago, The Biz Coach warns employees to look for innovation and productivity to increase as companies cut costs . Conversely, he explains why many economists say jobs are coming back to the U.S. as a result of the offshoring phenomenon. His bottom-line:     “Undeniably, many Americans have suffered hardship as a result of the recession and offshoring,” Mr. Corbell acknowledges. “However, remember the U.S. will soon come out the recession and we are a vital part of an evolving dynamic global economy.”   The Biz Coach says embracing change is the only productive option for individuals to enjoy success.   “Economic liberty is the freedom to make decisions in a free-enterprise system,” Mr. Corbell points out. “Political liberty is possible when government stops its unproductive practices so entrepreneurs can have the necessary tools to create jobs and take full responsibility for their successes or failures.” The New York Times featured Mr. Corbell twice in 2008. For some his business tips, simply Google each of these headlines:   ·          Been There... Done That...
