Strategic Communications Dont Just Listen LISTEN HEAR
| |
| Can you think of instances where you were talking with someone and they emphatically told you and assured you that they were listening? Then later you discovered that they may have listened, but they certainly did not hear what you said. Listening is an essential skill when relating to others and it is critical to realize that hearing the words and truly understanding and accepting the other person’s message, situation and feelings are also required to HEAR what is being said.
Effective listening and hearing are strategic competencies and will provide many benefits for you and your business. Some of those benefits include:

| |

The Role of Microfinance in Addressing the HIV/AIDS Pandemic in Zambia: The Rainbow Model Provides a Future for AIDS Orphans
| |
| Poverty and HIV/AIDS constitute a vicious circle. Poverty creates vulnerability to HIV/AIDS, and HIV/AIDS leads to poverty. Unfortunately, the interventions of the national and international community are not moving as quickly as the desperation and the loss of hope in the people coping with the pandemic at the grassroots level. |

5.5 The HIV/AIDS threat: Working Out of Poverty
| |
| Over 25 million workers are infected with HIV/AIDS, and millions
more affected by the pandemic. The ILO has calculated that the size of the
labour force in high-prevalence countries will be between 10 and 30 per cent
smaller by 2020 than it would have been without the effect of HIV/AIDS,
which poses a serious threat to economic growth and development prospects.
Macroeconomic performance is undermined by rising labour costs
associated with the pandemic, through skills shortages, sickness and absenteeism
and reduced productivity and economic competitiveness, resulting in
a shrinking tax base, less foreign investment and fewer jobs. |

Falling Off the Economic Cliff
| |
| Economy, economy, economy...
Stimulus, stimulus, stimulus...
Reminds me of 'location, location, location', and I am pretty sick of hearing that too.
If you're tired of hearing about the economy and stimulus, do something about it. This article talks about the permanent change facing businesses today and what you must do if you want to survive. Remember, no good crises should be left unexploited - opportunities abound. |

BUSINESS / SOCIAL INTERACTIONS (LISTENING
| |
| Hearing is a passive and subconscious use of our senses. Hearing simply means that your ears are picking noises. The Oxford dictionary describes hearing as ‘the faculty of perceiving sounds, There is no doubt that some sounds or noises will instinctively turn your hearing in to listening- a gun shot at night or a shuffling noise in the trees etc. To listen, one makes an effort to hear something, i.e. important news on the radio for instance. To listen is much more than hearing, it involves hearing a person attentively.

Shocking Treatment Proposed For AIDS
| |
| "Shocking treatment proposed for AIDS
Zapping the AIDS virus with low-voltage electric current can nearly eliminate its ability to infect human white blood cells cultured in the laboratory, reports a research team at
the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City.
William D. Lyman and his colleagues found that exposure to 50 to 100 microamperes of
electricity - comparable to that produced by a cardiac pacemaker - reduced the infectivity
of the AIDS virus (HIV) by 50 to 95 percent. Their experiments, described March 14 in
Washington, D.C., at the First International Symposium on Combination Therapies,
showed that the shocked viruses lost the ability to make an enzyme crucial to their
reproduction, and could no longer cause the white cells to clump together - two key signs
of virus infection."
