The Top Ten Lies of Entrepreneurs
| |
| I get pitched dozens of times every year, and every pitch contains at least three or four of these lies.

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
| |
| Breaking up, separation, and divorce can be devastating – but may also provide the opportunity for self-examination and a new beginning. There is nothing easy about ending a love relationship. Breaking up is seldom the ideal resolution to problems within relationships, but all too often is the outcome, despite our best efforts to prevent it. Over the past two or three decades, about half of all marriages have ended in divorce, and the statistics for cohabitation (or living together) are higher than this.

Building A Firm Foundation For A Strategic Plan
| |
| Executives almost always overlook the fact that a strong organizational foundation must first be laid within the company in order for a strategic plan to be effectively implemented.

How to Explain your Achievements in your Resume
| |
| If you are going to convince an employer or recruitment consultant that you are worth inviting to an interview, you have to be able to articulate your achievements and contributions in a compelling way that will demonstrate how you have added value to the organisations for which you have worked. This doesn’t mean you have to brag or embellish the truth. It does mean that you have to make sure that your next employer understands that you didn’t leave your brain at the door each day you came to work and that you applied your skills, knowledge and expertise in ways that were useful to the organisations in which you worked. |

Are You Frozen By Fear?
| |
| I was watching a movie the other day -- well, really it was background noise as I did other things -- and a part caught my attention.
The character was teaching someone how to look at their situation. She says:
Fear is cold – it freezes us up
Fear of performance
Fear of what people will think
Fear of doing something wrong
Fear of anything
When we let go of your fears we touch our souls.
I thought that this was put in a really interesting way. We get paralyzed by so many things. Often we don't even understand that we are frozen. |

How To Handle The Occasional OopSee
| |
| First off, it's important that you understand that the magnitude of your mistake will determine the course of action you take to make amends. If your company's error was such that it caused your customer a significant amount of lost time or revenue, embarrassed them publicly, caused damage to their reputation, or otherwise negatively affected their bottom line, you may face legal repercussions that saying "I'm sorry" will not deter. |

When Personal Impacts Professional
| |
| It happens to all of us: the pressing personal problem or concern that takes center stage, leaving little energy or attention for anything else, including work. Examples are a family member's prolonged illness or death, facing the prospect or reality of divorce. Although most of us are practiced at putting on the "game face" and getting on with work, events of this magnitude may make it difficult or impossible to manage that. Each person is, of course, different, and no solution will fit everyone. Here, however, are some useful coping mechanisms.

Trends in FDI in Developing Countries: Background
| |
| During the past two decades, a number of developing countries witnessed a
growing importance of FDI as the primary source of financial capital flows into their
economy. FDI brings not only increased access to foreign exchange, trade and
employment, but also new products, information and technology. It is no coincidence that
this rapid growth of FDI was accompanied by an increase in the level of human capital.
The latter was achieved by strong government commitments to expand formal education
and vocational training along with improved enterprise efforts to improve training
opportunities for workers. This section looks at recent trends in both FDI and HRD in
order to highlight the magnitude of this issue as well as to explain some of the key issues
raised in this paper. |
