Avoiding Horror Words and Phrases in your Resume
Your resume should provide employers and recruitment consultants with insight and it should help them understand what you have to offer, what you have achieved and what level of responsibility has been thrust upon you. It should therefore be clear and unambiguous. This means that we need to be aware of some of the terms and phrases we might use that could disguise, confuse or obfuscate (a word to definitely avoid). The more questions an employer or recruitment consultant has, the less they understand about you, the harder it is for them to include you on the interview list.

A Strategic Look At Dos and Donts of Board Meeting Minutes From Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
Do you serve on a board of directors and experience significant inaccuracies and inconsistencies in board minutes? Do you know that board minutes are really a very important resource to governing boards? Minutes of board meetings provide evidence that a board has exercised care in decision-making. The minutes also substantiate that a board is operating in accordance with its Bylaws and other documents and rules. Although there is recognition that board minutes are important, many organizations continue to have inadequate records of board meetings. Your strategic thinking business coach offers a list of the DO’s and DON’Ts of board meeting minutes.

Run Effective Meetings Save Time Money
The way you are running your meetings could be costing you unnecessary expense. Consider this: when making small changes, consider the multiplication factor. 5 minutes shaved off of weekly meetings of 10 people earning $30 per hour would amount to a savings of $6,259 a year. The following tips will help you think through ways to modify the meetings you are holding.
Never Leave a Meeting Feeling Good
Do your meetings result in everyone feeling good after they leave? Does very little get done in your meetings? If so, your meetings function like most, and they are probably worthless! Most often leaders are concerned with there being too many meetings, or meetings being too long, or some other wrong measurement. I would like to suggest that you change your measurement systems. For example, a good leading indicator that something important is being discussed is conflict. Other indicators of good meetings are the number of decisions made and the number of people held accountable for decisions made at the prior meetings. These are real indicators that your meetings are worthwhile. If you have a really good meeting, then everyone leaves feeling uncomfortable because there is so much more to be done, and they have a stake in it!

1 Simple Time Management Secret with Huge Benefits
A truly effective executive keeps his/her time commitments. Regardless the industry, position one holds, function you are in, or size of company, it is critical to take being on time seriously. In addition, I believe that if you do not get to most meetings at least 15 minutes early you are losing huge opportunities. While being on time and keeping your meetings is necessary, being 15 minutes early can be a gold mine. I have had clients partially apply this secret, and the results were automatic.

Time Management Training, The Secrets of Using the WASP STING
I have been facilitating time management training courses for a number of years and time and time again I am asked, how do you facilitate meetings successfully? It appears that the old saying of 'meetings are where minutes are taken and hours are wasted' still holds true in many organisations. Read on to discover the effective secrets behind the WASP STING.
Why Are Meetings One Hour Long?
The vast majority of meetings in the business world are scheduled for one hour. I think this is a paradigm we should challenge for several reasons. 1. Like an old habit, we just fall into the pattern without even thinking about it. 2. We lose track of those extremely valuable minutes within the hour format. We can do better than that. 3. The meeting itself is often inefficient as there is time to schmooze for the first 20 minutes or so, and most of the decisions occur in the final 10 minutes of a meeting. There are many techniques for squeezing more usable time from our daily schedule – and we really need them. Next time you schedule a meeting, try making it 50 minutes rather than an hour. It will emphasize the importance of the minutes and save time in the bargain.

Are We Online Network Marketers Destined To Become Members Of The Lonely Hearts Club Band?
At times as we work our network marketing businesses, we can get a feeling of loneliness. Gone are the traditional ways we market our business having meetings practically every night of the week. These meetings being replaced by online webinars and conference calls. Gone too are the social “meetings after the meetings”.
The Dreaded Monday Morning Sales Meeting
Do They GET TO GO or HAVE TO GO? For years as a speaker/trainer/coach, salespeople have approached me with feedback regarding their regular company sales meetings. This is what I hear: -The meetings are boring with little to no direction -The meetings turn into individual gripe sessions -The meetings turn into complaint sessions by management -The meetings tend to “bring down” the reps rather than “pump up” the reps -The meetings tend to be filled with reports, data, stats, and rules -The meetings never start on time -The meetings never follow an agenda -The meetings never end on time Does any of this sound familiar to you? Do your people tend to “go through the motions” in your sales meetings? Do they complain about having to come to these meetings regularly? Do you sometimes agree with them?

Running Effective & Actionable Meetings
When properly planned and executed, meetings can efficiently communicate ideas, solve problems, and generate action items. Unfortunately, many managers waste time by holding unnecessary or ineffective meetings.

Every leadermanager™ is responsible for succession planning
Succession planning concerns every role. As I share with my audiences “succession planning is not just about executives, it is about every role in your organization.” As a financial services branch manager in the 70’s two files in the bottom right hand side of my desk played a vital role in my success, one was my employee bank and the other contained the minutes of my weekly meetings with my staff. Do you have an employee bank? Do you have weekly meetings with your staff?
