Courageous or Kamikaze? by Suzanne Bates - Mar, 2010 I have a theory about why people say stupid things in meetings.

It's Complicated by Suzanne Bates - Mar, 2010 Not long ago, I sat in on a presentation at a business conference and thought I’d landed on Mars. The program topic was compelling but somehow the presenter managed to take us into outer space. No one was following him. I wondered why this is so complicated. The guy had managed to hide his brilliance under a bushel - seizing confusion from the jaws of clarity. Whenever someone says,”I don’t want to dumb it down,” I know... |

How a Little Bit of Courtesy Can Help Your Career by Amanda Guralski - Mar, 2010 "She must not swing her arms as though they were dangling ropes; she must not switch herself this way and that; she must not shout; and she must not, while wearing her bridal veil, smoke a cigarette." – Emily Post (Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics, and at Home, 1922) When we think of etiquette, we often think of those traditional dos and don’ts our mothers taught us.

Listen To What Your Career Is Telling You by Deborah Brown-Volkman - Mar, 2010 How did I get here? How did this happen to me? These are crucial questions I get from clients on a regular basis. In addition, why did my career seem so certain one day, yet so uncertain on another? I answer these questions by asking a question of my own: "Are you listening to what your career is telling you?" Most people don't listen to themselves. And, when things go wrong in their career, they don't understand ... |
