“Are You Building or Demolishing Trust In Your Business?”
Do you believe that trust is important in your business? Many of you probably answered yes and in fact many experts believe trust is perhaps the most important element of an efficient, cooperative, collaborative and unified work environment. Almost every one of my client focus groups during the first stages of strategic planning will list trust and the lack thereof as a challenge, frustration and issue in their workplace. The management team wants to know how they can build trust in the workforce and how they can avoid losing it. So I ask you – are you building or demolishing trust in your business or organization? Here are five (5) questions to ask to verify if you are building trust in your business.

Networking for Fun & Profit
Networking events can work for both business-to-consumer (B-to-C) and business-to-business (B-to-B) companies. Some of these events have a theme; such as industry (hospitality firms), descriptive (marketing firms), or location (businesses on the west side of town). Your local business press should print the networking groups in your area along with the day, time and location of their meetings. Many networking groups are local, while others are national lead exchange groups such as Le Tip and BNI.
Crisis Leadership Reduces Stress and Improves Performance

CONNECTING IS NOT ENOUGH: The Networking Journey……How networking has changed and where it is heading
May saw me celebrate a ten-year anniversary. On 11th May 1999 I started work for Business Referral Exchange, then a new networking organisation founded six months previously and with just four groups running in London, Hertfordshire and Essex. At the time networking as a formal activity was little known in the UK, with a few independent groups supplementing the networking offered by Chambers of Commerce and community groups such as Rotary. How times have changed! Networking is now a key activity for millions of small business owners across the World and, with the rise of social online networks, is being recognised as a key skill for everyone, from jobseekers to global corporates.

CONNECTING IS NOT ENOUGH: Busting the Myth
This article originally appeared in The National Networker It’s time to shatter a few illusions now. I’m sorry but networking groups do not produce referrals. That may disappoint a few people who have spent a lot of time and money joining groups in the hope of generating new business. Hours spent at breakfast meetings, lunches and chatting over canapés when you could have been watching The Apprentice…..all wasted.
Business Development: Getting the Most Out of a Mastermind Group
Entrepreneurism is on the rise, and so are the mastermind groups that allow entrepreneurs to share diverse perspectives and strategies on business development. But not all mastermind groups are created equal. Choosing the right mastermind means striking a balance between entrepreneurs who are similar to you, and entrepreneurs who have a different perspective.
Don't Protest the Rich, Get Rich
The rich would love nothing more than for everyone move up an income or wealth level. It is ridiculous to think the the richest 1% want to hold others down and are the supposed oppressors of all other financial groups. The intense protest against wealthy groups as the cause of those that 'don't have' is becoming a disgusting show of irresponsibility and a demonstration of ignorance at the best.
