The danger of mixed messages is especially
crucial when you’re considering business issues. For me, as a sole
proprietor, if I have problems communicating with the person I’m
speaking to it could end a business association with that person.
Business Advice
Perseverance
According to Samuel Johnson, “few things are
impossible to diligence and skill. Great works are performed not by
strength, but perseverance.”
Work-Life Balance
Some would say imbalance is part of the human condition. In a
competitive business environment -- which is to say, every business
environment — business building results require commitment, passion,
and, (to be blunt) a lot of time. For many the subject of work life
balance creates a blistering conversation rarely won by either side.
Self Evaluation
In addressing personal business, it is
important that we conduct an extensive skill-building inventory that
provides a clear image of the end results and a fairly detailed plan on
how to get there.
Torque
Torque is a physics term that refers to a moment of force where matter
and energy interact. In this context torque refers to the collision of
what really matters and our direction of energy.
No matter the profession, a shift in torque could yield the same
results recently enjoyed by Barack and his team.
Powerful Conversations: Interviewing - Part 1 of 3
Star candidates bring a spoon when others bring a shovel to
the task of preparing for an interview. Kevin Hall, an Account
Executive w/ Data Point Inc., will tell you this is why we win! Star
candidates reach beyond reviewing the standard about, services, and
press release pages. Their focus extends into areas often ignored as
one prepares for their interview. Star candidates first focus on
uncovering the organizational culture, areas of expansion, and key
challenges facing their new employer or client. To know thy
competition is to further strengthen the conversation.
Powerful Conversations
Self development doesn't have to be a screaming match between you and, well, you. In the marketplace of business thought, there are a number of concepts one can refer to when polling for winning strategies. Some experts define you by animal characteristics or colors. Others have suggested meditation or unlocking THE SECRET as the ultimate answer. In my humble approach, I focus in an unbuttoned urban manner on leveraging digestible thought.
