My advice to you for a successful relationship is to be open and honest with each other about how you feel. It starts by identifying barriers to effective interpersonal communication. In fact, being open and honest with your significant other is very important in not creating problems later on the relationship. When you are honest you build trust. According to Pope (2007) the article states “When you’re suppressing communication and feelings during conflict with your husband, it’s doing something very negative to your physiology, and in the long term it will affect

When I first met my client, Jackie Hart, she was in the hospital with a broken hip. She lives alone in a senior apartment complex and she has no family. She was transferred to a nursing home for six weeks of rehab after her hip surgery. Jackie was adamant that she was going to return home after her stay in the nursing home. I got Jackie set up with Comfort Keepers so that once she returned home they would provide a bath aide 3x a week, light housekeeping aide 2x a week, and an aide to transport Jackie to the grocery store 1x a week. Comfort Keepers also set Jackie up with a toilet extender, shower seat, and walker. Jackie is to meet with registered dietician Kim Letts to go over proper nutritional needs to help her gain her strength
One of the key elements that aided me in this, was realizing that as an I.T. professional, I am exactly that: an I.T. Professional. I may not have all of the answers up front but it is my (and yours) job to tell my employer or clients when they are making a stupid decision regarding their technology. It is my job to give them the hard facts when no one else. At the end of the day the respect that my employer, my clients, and my co-workers had for me grew exponentially.

Although CLASS is a relatively low-tech system, its application has been successful and its future looks promising. Each employee’s uniform is included with a “guest-preference pad.” On this pad, employees note any guest preferences and then forward the information to the guest recognition office. Ritz-Carlton looks forward with CLASS with ample hopes and expectations. Their vision is that all employees, in time, will be able to access CLASS directly. Furthermore, Ritz-Carlton is looking into implicating technology into their employees’ routine responsibilities. They’re exploring the benefits of utilizing portable hand-held devices. This utilization will aid company-wide access to the database. While CLASS has provided the Ritz-Carlton with a system of consistency, the technology would be worthless without their staff. As corporate manager of guest recognition points out, "Our people supply the initial information that is added to the system as well as carry out the services detailed within the system. If our employees didn 't put the information to real, concrete use the system would be worthless" (For Ritz-Carlton, It All Begins With Customer Knowledge).
