Changing Lives One At A Time: How Jenny Craig Made Millions By Helping Millions of Others
“I can’t wait for tomorrow,” says Craig. “You can do anything and be anything you want.” In starting up a company that helped others conquer their weight issues, Craig did exactly what she wanted to do. She just happened to make millions of dollars along the way, too. How did this one-time overweight mother of two become not only a successful entrepreneur but also the hero of millions of people around the world?

Lesson #3: Make Your Product As Personal As Possible
Jenny Craig’s success did not lie just in the fact that the program combined athletic activity with its own prepared foods. Craig had a secret that kept customers coming back for more. If all her years in the industry had taught her one thing, it was this: the road to weight loss was a difficult one and people needed all the support they could get along the way. To that end, Craig made it her number one priority to engage her clients, making the program as interactive and supportive as possible to keep them motivated and paying!

Master Your Game: Meeting Effectiveness
Excellent meetings are productive, engaging, and synergistic; participants emerge from these sessions filled with great enthusiasm, energy, and a greater clarity of purpose. Effective meetings facilitate collective decisions that people will actively support by following through and taking action. Unfortunately, not all meetings are effective. Meetings can be energy-draining, time-wasting and costly.

Feedback or look ahead?
Leaders and people spend surprising amount of time on giving and taking feedback. But feedback sessions can be counter productive due to the blame games and time lost. Look ahead sessions encourage people to collaborate, evaluate capabilities, question assumptions, and evaluate risks. They can help in getting buy-in of people to strategic efforts.
Getting Support in Times of Change
As a coach and a psychotherapist, I’ve worked with hundreds of people each year who are going through dramatic change of some kind or another, and are in need of support from their families, friends, colleagues and others. We often discuss what healthy support is, and how it feels when we receive support that gives us the strength and confidence to persevere. What does helpful support look like?

Product/Service Recommendations, Support…More Than You Want to Know
You have to love today's social media. Ok you don't have to love it because there is so darned much of it and it has empowered people. Problem is some people just shouldn't be empowered. Heck some should have their computers unplugged and their smartphones confiscated. But sites and blogs have done an excellent source of how-to (how-to install, how-to use, how-to fix, how-to replace, how-to get action) information. So if a company's support group is a little slow in responding, only following what their support check list tells them or speak in tongue there are people out there who can help. Use Bing (Google is so yesterday!) and find the answers. Just don't Tweet because someone might send you classified documents.

Sales Development Training For When Prospects Don't Remember What You Offer
To say I was frustrated would be an understatement. I had been a member of this peer support networking group for over a year. I had not only explained in a presentation to the group what I did but had made a point to take each member out to lunch to make sure they understood. Look, you can’t get referrals if people don’t know who you are and what you do, so I wasn’t leaving any proverbial stone unturned.
Focus Group Best Practices
A focus group is a controlled group interview of a target audience demographic. The interview is often led by a facilitator who covers a set series of questions or topics. Benefits of focus group sessions include: increased customer satisfaction & brand perceptions, and informing product development decisions. Focus groups are a key component to an effective market research program. Generating qualitative feedback in this medium can be more insightful than standardized surveys.

Implementing a Results Only Work Environment
Recently, Best Buy’s corporate office implemented a Results-Only Work Environment, following focus group sessions which revealed that employees most wanted TRUST from their leadership team.
