Communications Tips
| |
| "The Greatest problem in communication is the illusion that it has been accomplished."
George Bernard Shaw
The great quote by George Bernard Shaw confirms what I have experienced in my 35 plus year career. And in my past 23 years in my own business, I cannot think of a single instance where "communication" was not listed as a problem, challenge, frustration, irritant, etc. in the focus groups, discussion groups and other strategic planning endeavors I have conducted. Communication is a challenge. And it is an opportunity for very positive impressions if one works at doing it effectively. |

What Kind of Workplace Future?
| |
| In 1883, as soon as construction ended on the Brooklyn Bridge, the scams started. George C. Parker is credited with originating the idea of selling the Brooklyn Bridge, convincing people they could earn a fortune charging tolls for bridge access.

The Knockout Entrepreneur: The Early Years of George Foreman
| |
| He went from being a lean, mean fighting machine to selling lean, mean grilling machines. At 6 foot 3.5 inches, George Foreman stands tall as a leader in the boxing world and business world alike. And, in both, he has risen to unprecedented heights of success. Considered one of the top ten greatest boxers of all time, and having sold almost 100 million George Foreman Grills, this is one entrepreneur who refuses to get knocked down. |

Work and Play
| |
| I will always remember George Burns stating, "If you love your job, you will never work a day in your life."
George Burns enjoyed his life and his work for a century.
If you enjoy what you do, you can substitute the "Thank God it's Friday" club for the "Thank God it's Monday"
club. Beyond what you do for a living, you will receive tremendous benefits if you enjoy the people you work
with.

Change or Be Changed
| |
| George was 53 when he had his first attack. He'd smoked for almost 40 years, was badly overweight, had an extremely high fat diet, and handled stress poorly. This warning shocked him into joining a smoking-cessation program. George and his wife also learned about healthy eating and improved their diets. Within a few months he'd lost his huge stomach, was very cheerful, and full of new energy. He was a changed man. |
