This will be the case for all of the tips I will give.

The Buzzard, The Bat & The Bumblebee

The BUZZARD If you put a buzzard in a pen that is 6 feet by 8 feet and is entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of 10 to 12 feet. Without space to run, as is its habit, it will not even attempt to fly, but will remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top.

Compelling Reasons for Your Salespeopole to Go Mobile

Good Sales Managers know how important it is for their salespeople to uncover needs. But it goes way beyond needs. As I detail in Baseline Selling - How to Become a Sales Superstar by Using What You Already Know about the Game of Baseball, it requires that your salespeople learn about their prospects' compelling reasons to buy. Not just their needs. The issues, problems and frustrations - and even the consequences - that would cause them to spend money and spend it with your company, instead of your competitor. But it goes well beyond compelling reasons.

How Being A Mom Has Helped Me in Business

For most women, becoming a mother is a turning point in their career. It’s a time in one’s life that’s rife with challenges, frustrations, and uncertainties, but it’s also when many of life’s most rewarding achievements and miraculous moments occur. What many new moms figure out rather quickly is that the skills that they use every day while taking care of children are also very applicable in succeeding in business.

Workplace Conflict and Office Politics

Did you ever want to stuff a sock in the mouth of the guy in the next cubicle who never stops making really bad jokes? And he keeps it up all day!

Entrepreneur Education: Winning Over Annoying Co-Workers

Last week in a seminar in New York I was talking about the fact that work is not a rehab facility. This got a few laughs and some cheers. Then someone called out "I am so sick and tired of making excuses for some of the jerks I have to work with. They should go to rehab and leave us alone". I took a breath wondering what would happen next. This very vocal man continued "we need to figure out how to test people for the nastiness gene."

DOES A LACK OF EQ IMPACT PROFESSIONAL GOALS?

Emotions limit our intellectual ability and sabotage our best interests! It is not a question of education & skill that will make the difference in professional achievement & success; it is a question of access. It is about our ability to access that part of the brain where this learning is stored in times of tension, ambiguity and change. Scientific research is clear, emotions come before thought. We feel before we think. Why is this important to understand? Our “Emotional Brain” or site of emotional memory has the power to flood our processing center, the “Thinking Brain” or site of IQ and working memory. What happens? It is like our brain’s computer crashes!
