Going for Growth
| |
| Growth has become Africa's new development strategy, according to panellists at the plenary session. They believe that the high growth rates being experienced by many countries can be sustained through political stability and good macroeconomic policies. However, it is also true that high oil and commodity prices had helped to push up the continent's growth rate to a 30 year high of 5.5% in 2005.

How to Spend It: Making the Most of Aid
| |
| Africa can absorb and manage increased aid flows. That was the consensus expressed at the plenary session. In his introductory remarks, Graham Mackay, Chief Executive, SABMiller, United Kingdom; Co Chair of the Africa Economic Summit 2005, made clear his view that there is no realistic alternative to continuing aid, with a doubling of flows needed over the next three to five years. This, though, he warned, runs against the present current of declining flows. |

Play Catch with Communication
| |
|
An associate and I facilitated a dialogue session for the Delta Chamber of Commerce on the attraction and retention of employees in the workplace. The dialogue session uncovered five areas that influence employees in the workplace. They are:
• Communication
• Attitude
• Flexibility
• Opportunity to Learn
• Fun
This series of five articles will focus on each of the five areas from the dialogue session.
Let’s begin with communication. Communication, in particular interpersonal communication, is the foundation for creating excellent organizations and great places to work.

What is your focus on? (and How it Affects Your Confidence and Faith In Yourself)
| |
| I have a confession to make. I'm going to lay it out there so that you can learn from my misperception.
I recently had a 1:1 private session with my own coach. As with my own client's, my coach had me fill out my progress form before the session. I took my time with it and felt confident about clarifying my current situation and writing out my next 3 month goals.

Sales Coaching for Business Growth
| |
| Good coaching changes behaviour. But how do you generate awareness, get them to take responsibility for their actions or lack of action, and lead the person to motivate themselves and want to change? The coaching session should be a monthly session unless they require more support, and each session should have homework allocated. Once the person demonstrates they are taking action in the form of their homework, you know the coaching is effective. |
