Vermilion Advantage News
BIGG Tip – How to Relieve Stress in Seconds- When faced with stress, Psychology Today author Diane Barth suggests: (1) Escape your mind. (2) Relax back in a chair, with feet squarely on the floor. Rest your hands in your lap. (3) Close your eyes. (4) Breathe through your nose into your chest. Breathe in and out, to a count of four. Repeat three times. Now, you’ll feel much calmer as you return to the real world. It leads to BIGG success. Get more tips from BIGG Success here.
Community Tours- We can help with your Professional Recruitment and/or Short- or Long-Term Rental Needs – Vermilion Advantage can help our members with professional recruitment by taking your new employees or employment candidates on a (free) Community Tour. We can also help your current or new employees with rental referrals – we keep a word-of-mouth list of available home and apartment rentals, also including some furnished short-term corporate rentals, that the public may not be aware of through other channels. In addition, we have some lovely extended-stay hotel suite options. And, if you have professional rental properties coming available, make sure Nicole has your property on her list! Questions? Call Nicole at 217-442-6201 or email her at nvanhyfte@vermilionadvantage.com.
