The Dark Side
How well can we manage ourselves, our teams and businesses in a crisis or tough times? Are our actions and behaviours putting us, our people and our businesses at risk? As leaders and managers we are on show and our actions often speak louder than our words. In challenging times this is even more evident. Under pressure cracks may appear and our leadership is put to the test. How do we cope under pressure? What happens to us when we crack? When placed under high levels of pressure, most people will rely on coping mechanisms or their strengths that help them manage in day to day activities, but due to the pressure they can actually become counterproductive tendencies. We refer to these as “risk factors” and they can emerge as our dark side.

Focus on Five Areas Today to Close Business Tomorrow
All too often, salespeople focus on the wrong elements in their attempt to increase sales. They turn their attention to the features, benefits, and value-added aspects of their product or service in an attempt to differentiate it from that of the competition and ultimately convince prospects to buy.

What The Campaign Can Teach Us About Sales
The presidential campaign can teach us a number of lessons about sales and marketing. Have you been paying attention?
A Consultative Approach
If a sales person pitches a prospect too early in the sales process and has not taken the time to fully appreciate that prospect’s requirements, they are likely to encounter much more resistance in comparison to a sales person who has first sought to identify and agree the prospect’s requirements prior to presenting their proposals. In the current competitive climate where the role of sales people is becoming even more demanding, organisations that adopt a consultative approach are more successful.

Beliefs, Feelings, Emotions: Leaders They Must Be Understood By Leaders
One of the characteristics needed in the new complex work environment is having the wisdom and broad perspective to see the big picture.

They will feel more connected and be better prepared to emotionally support the organizational effort.
Being True to Your Values
Reflect on your Life in a holistic way. If you have clear understanding of your destination, the end in mind,what matters to you most, then the steps you take will always be in the right direction. The more your goal fits into the structure of your core beliefs and values, the more likely it is going to be achieved.
