Yes, your lack of volume is the issue. I can’t tell you how many people get in touch with me because of this problem. And, it doesn’t just affect those who are soft-spoken. The amount of volume needed in a loud bar or club (or even a wedding) is at least 50% more that what I refer to as Volume 1 – your everyday level of speaking. If you are soft-spoken, however, that percentage is higher.

Recently while visiting my local bank, a surreal experience occurred. There was a bank robbery! What??? Yes, I was in a bank robbery. Just to be clear, I was attempting to make a deposit and get a document notarized. This experience was just like what we see on television, until the guy pointed the large caliber rifle right at me at less than 5 feet away. At that point it got real - VERY real. You then realize that anything can happen. If the police would have arrived while the guy was still there, things could have gone quite differently.

Before you consider your next job change or even career change, it's crucial that you look at the kind of lifestyle you want today and in the future. This career-planning time is also time to think about life planning. When I meet with my clients for the first time, before I ask them what they want to do, I ask them what kind of life they want to live.

There are very few inventions that truly change how we live and work as a society. Refrigeration, the microchip, those little things on the end of shoelaces that make them not unravel.

They’re much more than the cell phones of old. They’re on-demand access to our social media streams,

The most annoying aspect of driving a vehicle is parking. It can be hard to find a space to begin with. Once located, the driver has to properly maneuver his or her automobile into the spot. Parallel parking on the road can be particularly troublesome. Furthermore, there are a number of different parking signs that may further complicate the parking process. Parking spaces frequently have signs which state where, when and how long your car or truck is able to occupy the area.
Motivation, Reinforcement, Support and Accountability Behavior change is not merely a matter of knowledge or skill. If that were true, then all the information campaigns on how to improve your health would have made behavior-related illnesses a thing of the past. And birth control information would prevent teen pregnancies. Sadly, many people fail to create lasting change in their behavior and will repeat their failures over and over again in their lives. Have you ever tried to break a habit? Organizations, like people suffer from the same difficulty in shifting their behavior.

Believe it or not, minding your ps and qs really does make a difference in business these days. To illustrate: A client who recently hired us told me that he had spoken with a number of potential firms and that while every one of them could do the job, in the end, they picked us because our team had the best manners by far.

Shoeho ing the Wrong Diagnosis. Dr Andrew Rynne. Please don’t get me wrong. I have nothing against self-diagnosis and self-help when it comes to your health. Nor am I saying for one second that doctor knows best and patients should do what they are told to do by their doctor. On the contrary, I am all in favour of assertiveness in the doctor’s consulting room, all in favour of asking loads of questions and keeping the medics on their toes. As one myself I can assure you that doctors do NOT always know best or even know at all.
