PR for Business Start-ups
If you are a business start-up or a potential start-up and you think PR is just for the big boys, then think again. If you are in business you have a public - in fact you have several - and you also have relationships with these publics - so, like it or not, you have public relations. It makes sense to have a plan to nurture these important relationships and create a positive story about who you are, what you do and how this benefits the people who interact with you. Do this right and they will value the relationship and they will spread the word for you - there is no better business than by recommendation.
What Are YOU Good At?
Recently, during a corporate training session at LEGO, I asked a group of professionals to write down 20 qualities about themselves, 20 strengths of their personal brand. One woman looked completely dumbfounded. She stared down at the blank sheet of paper and finally said, "Rahna, that's got to be the hardest thing you could've asked for!" She was stumped. She had no idea what to write and sadder still, she had no idea what she was good at! This is a woman in a very large, very well-known company that conducts annual formal performance reviews....and still she didn't know. Can you imagine?

Time for Service Warriors
We live in a time of spirit larceny. Layoffs have robbed colleagues of colleagues, leaving those who remain feeling hollow. And, the hustle for razor thin margins has put short term profits at center stage and long term relationships in the cheap seats. As organizations are put in a profit-at-all-cost vise, what can be squeezed out is the positive spirit of service providers. It is a time for service warriors.

Meeting Etiquette . . .the Direct Correlation to Employee Performance
The lateness thing is not just an inconvenience or a sign of inefficiency. It has a direct correlation to employee performance. A recent poll of 360 workers, including senior management, conducted by Workplace Intelligence Unit, found that turning up late for meetings was considered by many workers the height of disrespect, with four out of ten feeling that colleagues who did so or canceled at the last minute were simply showing that they did not value their colleagues' time. People feel disrespected when they show up and others don't. The message received is that those who arrive late value their own time more than that of their staff and co-workers. The BlackBerry thing says "what's happening on my Blackberry is more important than the meeting agenda and attendees."

Mentor Others to Create Your Own Success
Successful people are self confident. Self confident people surround themselves with positive people. Mentors, by definition are positive people. They are willing to give of themselves to help others succeed. I urge you to find mentors to help you create the successful life and career you want and deserve. I also urge you to mentor others. It's never too early. As Wall Street Journal reporter, Jonnelle Marte points out -- many young people have accelerated their career development by mentoring their boss and colleagues. I think that we all have something to offer -- something that someone else is eager to learn. Figure out what you know that others around you don't and then take the time to share your knowledge and expertise. You'll be helping your colleagues, your company and yourself if you do so.
Build Your Business with Networking
Being successful in business is less about having all the answers yourself than knowing where you can access expertise. Since you can't know everyone, you often rely on your friends or trusted colleagues for referrals, which is where your professional network comes in handy.

Your Career, Your Responsibility - Individual Branding
Individual branding is critical if you want to progress your career - who’s in control of your reputation at work - you or your colleagues? If you don’t take a proactive approach to building your personal brand in the workplace, you’ll soon find that others do it for you. Whatever you want your reputation to be, you need to have a plan of action in place so that others perceive you in this way. If you sit back and do nothing your colleagues will either consciously or sub-consciously pigeon-hole you. And once you become known as a certain ‘type of person’ it’s difficult to change the way others think of you.
How to Differentiate Yourself and Stand Out in Your Market Place
If you work in a large organisation it can be hard to differentiate yourself from your colleagues in order to progress your career. How you handle your personal reputation will go a long way into shaping how you’re perceived by colleagues and management in your workplace. For many people a job is just a job. If you’re keen to get ahead and be noticed by the people who matter, you need to demonstrate that you have rare qualities.
