Have you done your fine tuning?
The digital clock on the wall flashes red. You look up, and realise that it’s seven o’ clock and another hour has gone by. And you are still at the office! Was that you yesterday? And the day before? When was the last time you took a good long look at your work practices? Are you getting the work-life balance right? You may be trying to steer your team through the rough waters of change, but working excessive hours is not the solution.

Managing Marginality The Internal Consultants Dilemma
Internal and external consultants use many of the same techniques and tools, do similar work, but face very different challenges. Internal consultants work in a unique position. Their job role is to consult to the organization for which they work. It is not easy to be, at the same time, a part of an organization and function as detached and independent. Each position on the consulting continuum places different pressures on the internal than the external, making them either more or less a part of the organization. Couple with those pressures that the internal has a boss whose role is even more clearly linked to the organizational structure, politics, and rewards structure, and you have a set of forces effectively pulling the internal in different directions. Managing this position becomes paramount to success for the internal.
Smart Women Create the Right Internal Environment
Creating the “right internal” environment is essential if we are to truly live a life on purpose. Your internal environment is your self-talk, the internal conversations you have with yourself. Stop and think for a moment about the conversations you have with yourself: Do you send positive messages or negative messages? Is your internal voice filled with possibility or doom and gloom? It’s really important to take some time to evaluate yourself in this area and change your thinking.

Enterprise Readiness Keeps Success within Your Sights
Whether you are starting a new technology company or launching a new product, you typically have less than two years before you have to be profitable. For most, that means they have to be able to sell their products to large enterprise customers. Once the clock is ticking, many crack under the pressure. But those who embrace enterprise readiness are beating the clock and their competition.
Tick tock your body clock
Are you a morning lark or a night owl? Regardless of whether you wake up early or stay up late, these patterns of waking up and sleeping are governed by your personal internal body clock; your Circadian Rhythm. What is a Circadian Rhythm? The Latin terms ‘circa’ and ‘diem’ is literally translated to mean ‘around a day’. Studies have shown that humans have a Circadian Rhythm of roughly 24 hours.
"Arrogant Al": The Condescending Internal Customer
Most of us have ‘internal customers' - people in our own company who rely on us to provide them with some level of service or support. For many of us, working in administration, human resources, IT, training, etc., providing internal customer service is our primary role. Unfortunately, just as there are difficult external customers, there are also difficult internal customers. One of the common situations we see are internal customers who simply appear to not respect the roles of their internal service providers. They come across as condescending, dismissive, arrogant and sometimes plain rude. It is a recipe for a poisonous workplace atmosphere. What do you do?
The Case for Bringing Outside Planning Consultants In
Internal strategic planners clearly have their place in the corporate planning process. The deep insight and internal understanding of the inside strategists are hard to replace. Yet, with inside knowledge comes the side effects of political swaying, less objectivity, and “planning as usual.” Many of today’s successful organizations effectively combine an internal view with an external view to bring about a holistic approach to planning.

How A 24 Hour Answering Service Can Assist Your Business
If you run a small business you may not be able to run your business and answer your phones around the clock. An answering service can assist your business by extending your office hours to 24 hours a day to provide around the clock customer service support to your client base.

Positive Words Create Positive Actions
In our society today we tend to accentuate the negatives instead of the positives. One example is the “alarm clock” we use to wake ourselves up in the morning. Realistically, when we hear an alarm it generates fear or anxiety. When somebody robs a bank, an alarm is sounded; when there’s a fire, someone sounds an alarm. Perhaps waking up to an alarm helps explain the profusion of negative words we use. If you rethink the issue of your clock you will realize that it is really giving you an opportunity. When you hear it ring, you have the opportunity to get up and go. A whole day full of possibilities is available to you once you hear your “opportunity clock.” If you can’t hear it ring, that might mean you’ve gotten up and gone! That could be bad.
The Proper Setup of Internal Links
Internal links are hyperlinks that point to different pages on a website. Setting up internal links within a website gives the site more exposure and credibility. Websites that have a lot of links that point to multiple internal pages within that site creates a more legitimate look and feel.
