Welcome to the Mentoring Minute™ series. Each week, I’ll answer a reader question and provide at least one great idea on succeeding at work, winning at life, and enjoying it.

It seems as if there’s never enough time to tackle everything that needs to get done – Especially during this time of the year! Unfortunately, the first thing that falls from the to-do list is often physical exercise.

Does that happen to you?

In this week’s Mentoring Minute™ and blog post, I share five reasons why investing in a walking desk may be the best decision you make this year. By using my walking desk every day, I have increased my productivity, creativity, happiness, AND I have lost 8 pounds in the process. Using a walking desk is also the perfect way to work off the extra stress and calories during the holidays!

P.S. In response to readers requests, I’m in the process of developing an online workshop to help improve your communication skills. If you would like to be a part of the beta group that will participate in providing feedback on the workshop content, please email me at Caren@carenmerrick.com. This opportunity will only be open until December 30th, so don’t miss out!
