What Leaders, Facilitators and Coaches Have In Common
A facilitative or coaching leadership style is handy for the small business owner as well as a team leader. This article discusses facilitative leadership and how it serves both the leader and the organization.

Who's delivering your sales training?
You cannot fake real sales experience and sales wisdom. It is one of the professions that is the hardest to teach and train because without real life sales experience you are at risk of being seen as inauthentic. To help you make the best choice when it comes to selecting the right sales trainer let's consider the following:
Why So Much Business Training And Development Goes To Waste
The effectiveness of so many training and business development programs is being limited by the fatigue and poor concentration levels of many of the participants. The fatigue is generally due to the participants being out of shape.Before embarking on business training programs, management should consider programs to boost the health and energy of their workers. The resultant heightened energy levels among the participants will increase their capacity to get more out of the training.
Keeping Your Leadership Fresh
How do you keep your leadership fresh? By being willing to give up the certainties of past answers and throwing yourself into each instance of groupwork as if it were the first. Risky, yes. Exciting, for sure. Essential, without doubt. Find out more with the 5 ways to inject freshness into all your groupwork.
7.3.3 Reconceptualising the role of training: Mainstreaming skills development for the poor
The whole concept of training should be reformulated more in terms of purposeful skills development based on a variety of modalities/interventions and not just conventional, formal training courses. Because 'training' frequently has pejorative connotations, serious thought should be given to replacing it with other terms. 'Skills development' is generally preferable with 'facilitators' (rather than trainers) in appropriate supporting roles.

How to Stop Suffering From I Hate to Sell But I Need to Pay My Bills
As a sales professional, small business owner or service professional have you ever suffered from either or both of theses thoughts? I hate to sell, but I need to pay my bills. Boy, if I could only do what I love to do. A recent survey of 135 business consultants, executive coaches ad professional facilitators revealed these exact thoughts. Read on to learn the answer to this dilemma.
Master Your Game: Designing an Effective Meeting Agenda
An agenda planning session should occur prior to every meeting. Just as an architect wouldn't dream of showing up at a construction site without a well-thought out design, facilitators need to create their own blueprints for each session. Meetings can be a waste of time and energy if no one is prepared and participants are forced to make decisions without adequate information. Last month, we discussed meeting management styles. This month, we discuss the effective agenda. Use The Agenda As A Strategic Tool

Negociate with Confidence
Have you ever been on holidays to the tourist spots in Spain? Any shops you walk into you find your self negotiating with he sales assistant straight away. Sales training facilitators will point out that we have all negotiated at some point in our time whether it is with the children to go bed or with the bar man to give you an extra shot.

Third Generation Leadership and Teams
3G Leaders are not threatened by questions and discussion. They readily share all the information about what has to be done and the parameters within which it needs to be done. Then they seek to harness the expertise of everyone involved so that people are openly listened to and respected. 3G Leaders see themselves in the role of facilitators who are working with their team rather than as controllers to whom the team is responsible. 3G Leaders operate as equals with their fellow team members while being willing to accept ultimate responsibility if things go wrong - which, unsurprisingly, is not often.
Develop Customer Centricity with CRM
Contrary to popular belief, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is not a system, or a technology, or a simple application. CRM is a holistic strategy that places customers at the center of all business operations. Some call this customer-centricity; others coin this approach as listening to the “voice of the customer.” Regardless of semantics, CRM is the integration of people, processes, and technology, which allow a company to leverage its information assets to identify, attract, and retain profitable customers. CRM applications should not be viewed as the Holy Grail that will fix all your business challenges; they are simply facilitators.

Behavioural Intelligence - Deepening Your Understanding of Different Behaviours
Behavioural Intelligence is an essential tool for managers, leaders, facilitators and negotiators. It is, quite literally, the embodiment of Emotional Intelligence. What you say or do is actually much more important than what you think or feel. Your brain has the ability, primarily through the pre-frontal cortex, to help you choose what to do next rather than just react out of animal instinct or emotional irrationality.
Why Real Leaders Pump Gas
Chief executives give great speeches on the importance of quality, leadership, teamwork, and employee participation. But in improving organization performance, as in golf, it's the follow-through that makes the difference. Consider the case of one Canadian company that had been "doing quality" for about two years. It followed the textbook perfectly. Trainers and facilitators delivered introductory workshops to the 1,500 employees. Enthusiasm and interest began to build as hundreds of suggestions poured in.
