Motivating employees
Often I get asked how to motivate people … how to motivate them to perform better, to want to do things or to want to buy your product. People are motivated only by two things – to move away from pain or a painful situation or towards something they want. The archetypal carrot and stick approach.

Some clients cost more than they could ever pay them in fees. We have all had these types of clients. Professionals and business owners sweat over this, as do most business people, because it is a painful situation that we will do anything in our power to avoid.

How to Stop Losing Sales
Have you ever felt that your product or service was an absolute perfect fit for a prospective customer then found out later that you lost the business? If you're like most sellers, you've probably been in that situation more than once. (I have!) Losing a big sale is downright painful. You may also have an overpowering urge to blame the decision makers for making a "stupid" choice or for their failure to see why they should change now. I'd like to suggest an alternative: turn your losses into learning opportunities. Use post-mortem debriefings to figure out how you might have contributed to the lost sale. That's what top sellers do. They assume total accountability for the lost business and then try to figure out how to ensure it never happens again.

Guide to Quality Performance Reviews
Recently, Randstad's 2002 Employee Review showed that 92% of employees with regular performance reviews were satisfied with their manager or supervisor while only 72% of those with no regular reviews were satisfied. Repeatedly, we see supervisor effectiveness as one of the top reasons employees leave an organization. The cost of either an employee loss or just a loss in productivity from supervisor ineffectiveness could be very painful to the bottomline. So, if this statistic is true, do we really want 20% of our workforce to be dissatisfied with our managers simply because they do not have regular performance reviews? If not, then we need to provide managers with techniques and tools to make performance reviews less painful and more beneficial.

Finding the Magic when you¡¦ve Been Downsized
Losing a job is painful. For senior executives whose lives have been so intertwined with that of their company or business, it is especially painful. There is no way around it. And that's the point. If you try to "get around it," it will likely take you on a detour that will delay what you want: a great new position. Dr. Susan Lord has valuable advice to help get you in "inspired action" mode. That is when the magic begins and that is when you most likely will attract your next career opportunity.

Painfully Employed: They got it bad and that aint good
When I was 13, I heard my great aunt say that she purchased an expensive car because she hated her job and needed an incentive to stay. Years later, when I struggled with my own discontent and watched others struggles with theirs, her words resonated with me. I may have been gainfully employed at the time, but I felt painfully employed. During my struggle, I vacillated between excitement, swinking (not quite swimming, not quite sinking) and painful employment: excited with any new opportunities, swinking when they didn't fulfill my expectations, and painfully employed when I became too comfortable being uncomfortable. Three words, "comfortable being uncomfortable," and one quote, "if you don't know what port you are sailing to, no wind is favorable," summed up my painful employment.

Social media: Risk and regulation in the financial service industry

Howling Dog
If you have made a poor choice of employment do something about it. For your own peace of mind do something! Anything is better than remaining in an unpleasnt situation. It is, of course, a different story if your current employment is necessary because of the economic situation. there is not much that can be done about this in the short term. You may have to put up with employment that you would not normally choose or which is possibly unpleasant. Internalise the fact that this is a temporary situation.
