Leadership is all about communication. However most leaders when preparing for an important pitch, a crucial board meeting, an employee review or a supplier negotiation go about it all wrong. They prepare and plan, concentrating on the words they will say, the handouts they will use and the presentation they will give. They’ll fuss and worry about how knowledgeable and credible they’ll sound, if they’ve got all the facts and data and what question the other party may ask.

Gratitude, by Doug Grady Recently I went on my second trip to Wellington, AL. My church organized the trip to help out those whose lives were devastated by the storms that ravaged the southeast earlier this year. It is unlikely it would have been on my radar without my first ever mission trip. Today I reflected on the ripple effect from Ironmen in Ecuador. “Gratitude can turn a meal into a feast.” -Melody Beattie

Often, people will have trouble making themselves stand out form the crowd. For some people, they can be a bit nervous about voicing their own opinion; maybe they are worried about being wrong or be laughed at. So, trying to stand up for themselves, and really assert themselves can be a problem for some people. It has been popular in recent years for schools to focus on building up the self-esteem of children. This can make many of them very assertive. Yet, often they are to

People often make the mistake of giving their 30-second commercial immediately upon meeting someone new. I might add: “whether they want to hear it or not!” A professional portfolio is particularly valuable if you are seeking a new career opportunity. First meetings at business or social functions are to build rapport, gain trust and establish credibility. Ask your new acquaintance questions about “them.” How did they get into their business? What are current trends or issues they are experiencing?

It started out innocuously. I asked a colleague if she'd be willing to listen to an upcoming presentation for a local non-profit. She said she would, and I plunged in. My colleague had a lot to say and delivered it with stinging energy. "You use too much jargon; I hate jargon," she said. "And you need something besides theory. They'll fall asleep." My hackles went up. Wow! Was there anything you liked? My left hand column was in overdrive. I was ready to leap on her but stopped, centered myself, and decided to practice what I do, in fact, teach.

What makes for good topics of conversation? Well, this depends on why you want to have the conversation. But the basic rule is that conversations need to be a two-way process. Pick topics that everyone involved in the conversation is interested in. That way, everyone can feel comfortable and involved and the conversation should flow freely. The depth of conversation depends on how well you know the other people you are talking to. A first meeting is probably not a good time

Why your words may be working against you in your video script One of the main causes of discomfort for many entrepreneurs when they attempt a promotional video is the words they are trying to say. Most often entrepreneurs and experts will come to their video shoot with a script derived from copy on their website. I totally get it; working so hard to get that copy right it has to be just what you need to say, so why not just cut and paste it for a video script, right? WRONG!

Finding out about a caller has become very important when you get blank calls from someone you don’t know. This creates severe problems for you and you get disturbed by these calls.

When clients and prospects call you and you’re not available to answer your phone, your voice mail represents you.

Last year we blamed the economy. What will we blame in 2010? Have you ever considered how blame could be impacting your success? Finding someone or something to blame gets you off the hook when things don’t turn out your way. Finding blame is common and seems to be a natural human tendency.

Blessed Situationsr People sometimes ask me to pray for them. I always do. But sometimes they wonder: why did I not pass that exam or do as well as I wanted when you were praying and blessing me. Lessons still to be Learned The answer is perhaps that was not to be for you at that particular time. Possibly a greater lesson is needed in your life and that is the lesson of humbleness or the lesson of proper preparation. Or perhaps a greater blessing is on the way. Reaping Benefitsr

Long ago a sales manager said to me, “Sometimes you have to fall on your sword.” He was referring to saying the words, “I’m sorry; My error; My apology.” For many, and I’m one who had to learn, these words are difficult. But I quickly realized he was right. Forgiveness comes far more quickly when you are the one to apologize whether on interviews, selling or in your personal relationships. The concept is universal. - On interviews you might misinterpret a question - A product or service you sell may not live up to expectationsr

While the economy appears to be lifting from its fog there are still organizations facing the prospect of layoffs. The process of laying employees off is fraught with peril.

Don’t you wish you could do your job and not have to travel all over the country or world? Don’t you wish you could let people know about your products and services without going to endless networking meetings? Believe it or not with the right use of the social media you can do just that.

What keeps you from taking consistent action? You know, those things that you know will greatly impact the results you are getting in your business. Anthony Robbins once said, "You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action." One of the things that will keep you stuck in your business is the knowing what to do, but not doing it. Unfortunately, I see this all too often. It is one of the m

"Our jobs are killing us and the people who are responsible are our leaders." I recently heard Simon Sinek say this in a YouTube video and it really struck a chord. How did you feel when you read that? Harsh reality? Don't believe me? Or perhaps you have had an experience yourself or heard someone say "my boss is busting my balls" or "my manager is killing me!" These might be throw away comments around the water cooler but sadly they are a reflection of reality.

Are there actually more people in the world who are afraid of speaking in front of others than in dying? Yes, 54% of adults are more afraid of public speaking than death! What are we afraid of? Messing up? Being rejected? Feeling foolish? Unsure if our audience will think we don’t know what we are talking about? Have your normally dry palms become so sweaty you couldn’t even hold onto a football? When you speak, does that upper lip suddenly get stuck to your front teeth? Do you feel like you just swallowed a large walnut?

Many important business deals are conducted during functions outside of the 8-5 world. Doing business within a global economy requires that we pay attention to other customs and protocol, including our professional calling cards. Particularly in international circles, business cards explain our place in the corporate hierarchy, so our title should be clearly stated. Have plenty of cards but be choosy about giving them out to everyone in the room as unsolicited cards will usually go into the “circular file” in short order. Always offer your card facing them, so they can immediately read it.r
