Why productivity now matters: 5 talent essentials
Switching on the nightly news recently you may have been struck by images of frazzled-looking brokers on Wall Street attempting to cope with the turbulent markets. You may have also thought, 'I can relate to that'. According to Andrew May, author and stress management expert, Australia is not in danger of becoming a nation of workaholics - we are already there.
Why Business Owners Work So Hard and Why They Shoudnt
Most business owners are well aware of the fact that they can’t take a holiday, or in many cases even a day off sick. They are very aware that in fact they ARE their business, and without them, there is no business. And they are very aware that every other area of their life is missing out, including their partners and family.

STRESS IN THE WORKPLACE
According to the Australian Council of Trade Unions’ (A.C.T.U.) 1997 survey, fifty per cent of workers had suffered some form of stress at work in a 12-month period. The statistics in care professions were even higher, with the Department of Education and Training in Western Australia reporting in its 2002 Attitudes To Teaching Survey that seventy per cent of teachers identified workplace stress as a cause for concern in their teaching positions.
Building a Consulting Practice
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has predicted a rise of about 55 percent in the number of consulting opportunities in the period between 2002 and 2012.

II.D. Foreign Direct Investment: TRADE AND CAPITAL FLOWS BETWEEN CHINA AND AFRICA
China’s direct investment in Africa, as reported by the National Bureau of Statistics of China, amounted to US$392 million in 2005, up from US$317 million in 2004. Data from other sources show significantly higher figures: in 2004, Chinese FDI was estimated to be more than US$900 million; total FDI in Africa was US$15 billion (Table 2). China’s Ministry of Commerce puts China’s direct investment to Africa for 2000–06 at US$6.6 billion. Among the 800 Chinese enterprises investing in Africa, only about 100 are state-owned. The rest are private businesses with interests ranging from trade, manufacturing and processing, services, and communications to agriculture and natural resource development.
Technology and the Growing Talent Crunch!
A debate of reasonable fury has been raging since the Bureau of Labor Statistics released their latest report on procurement sector job growth. The primary point of contention is the BLS’ assertion that the “overall employment for purchasing and supply managers is expected to grow slower than the average for all occupations through the year 2014.” Adding further fuel to the “sky is falling” fire that seems to be the theme of the majority of commentaries written on this issue, is BLS’ position that the “demand for purchasing workers will be eliminated by improving software.”
How many people does it take to change a light bulb
I was told about a recent article in the Weekend Australian Magazine. The article looked at a study by the University of Chicago. that found that if we excluded all animal based foods, including dairy and eggs, from our diet, that change would benefit the environment more than buying an eco-friendly car. Apparently 23% of a typical Australian diet comes from animal sources and so generates almost 1.5 tonnes more greenhouse gases per person per year than a vegan diet of the same calories.
Business credit remains tough in difficult times
There’s been a lot of talk about the impact of the global financial crisis on interest rates and access to finance. Whilst the banks maintain that they are providing finance, and certainly that appears to be the case with residential mortgages, the availability of finance to business remains an issue. It is finally receiving a greater level of attention in the mainstream press, with The Australian and Australian Finance Review both publishing articles on 27 March.

The PR Power of Statistics and Numbers
People love statistics and so do the media. Statistics (percentages and numbers) seem real, whether they are or not. Stats are great to offer to producers, writers, editors, bloggers & media outlets. It gives them a hook, something to work with. They can use your stats and then your quotes to come up with interesting, off beat and fun sound-bites, articles, and segments. Using statistics in your pitches is an excellent way to give an editor or producer a good media hook, and garner media coverage for you and your company.

6 Signs That You Might Be A Leader
With the US Presidential Election season obviously underway – even in Australia we are regaled with the search for a republican candidate - the recent leadership issues in the Australian government and the incipient leadership issues arising in the Australian opposition, it is clear that the question of “Who is a leader?” needs to be addressed.
This Election Year's A Gas!
This week, the new numbers came out, and wow! The president's approval number is now 5.29.9, and gas is at 41%... of your life savings. And they've stopped putting a number on unemployment - the Bureau of Labored Statistics is simply calling it "dang near all y'all"....
