Swimming in a Sea of Ideas
Creativity can be one of the best strengths to have. It helps you to solve problems, makes you versatile and able to roll with change, which in this world is a real plus. Typically my creative clients tell me that they usually do well at anything they put their hand to. For all its merits, creativity can be one of the most incapacitating strengths because sometimes there are just too many ideas to follow. Having choice is a good thing but having too much choice can be debilitating. Being focused, having choices, and not too many of them, helps creativity work for you.

Energy Efficient Windows and Insulation
“A well designed passive home with energy efficient windows requires no heating or cooling except in the most extreme climates. Even in extreme climates, it is possible to design a Zero Energy - Zero Bills house at little additional cost.” ‘Your Home´ Technical Guide, a publication to inform homeowners of the advantages of energy efficient design.

Consistently Produce Your Desired Results
What is the difference between effectiveness and efficiency? The definition of effective reads “producing a decided, decisive, or desired effect”.

We believe that efficient management is all about “decision-making” while effective leadership requires the skill of “decision-getting”. Many expect our economy to turn around in the short term but what if it doesn’t? What if it gets worse over the next three + years. Do you and your organization have the skills to “get it done” in a worsening economy?

Efficiency versus Effectiveness
Everyday we are confronted with the message, to be more efficient. We could have the best measurement systems in place to measure the efficiency of the operations, but be producing the wrong thing or focusing on the wrong area - as a result, the business could fail, though it was highly efficient. What is going to build the future of our business does not come through efficiency; it comes through effectiveness.

With this final concern is ever more important for selling professionals to be as efficient as possible. Efficient selling agents help to lessen labor while bringing more revenue to the organization. The problem however is that many selling professionals commit numerous errors throughout their day. This not only slows down the selling process but also lessens the ability for sales teams to meet their targets. More importantly, these issues affect revenue.
