Do numbers talk?

So lots of good things happening around here!  I have greeting cards in and have my Shop CautiouslyAudacious Store started.  Think of it as sponsoring an Ironman for IM AZ 2012!  :-)  I just got an email telling me my shirts are being shipped so those should be up by the end of next week!  I'm super excited about them and hope you like the design I chose!  Help me reach 100 likes and I'll have a giveaway! And once that happens if I reach 200 likes I'll have a 2nd giveaway, here! Or just like my page cause you wanna :-)It's almost the end of the month which means I have an Olympic Distance Triathlon coming up in almost a week and it also means I only have about 1 month left before a certain someone comes home!

I gave a presentation recently that went well and in it I used a chart I found on the SHRM site that gave some statistics on costs of health risks in the workplace.  Here it is:



Cost (F) = % of work lost to risk factor
(A) x # of at-risk employees (D[BxC]) x
median compensation (E)







I mean look at the cost of Physical Inactivity and Stress!  I find that numbers can sometimes be powerful especially when dealing with management where sometimes let's face it $ talks!  I really hope I have some more exciting news to give you guys by the end of next week!  In the mean time I'm going to keep moving along on my training!

What do you think do numbers talk or do you just here blah, blah, blah?

Happy Friday and Happy Training my friends!
