It IS a Popularity Contest
Business and high school actually have one very important thing in common. Thinking back on my high school days, I remember the start of the school year and when elections for class president were about to begin. . .
Market Research: Living in the Real World of Business Depends on Comments from the Real World
In the feature film Sliding Doors, I found myself fascinated by a conversation between two friends. Gerry had just been discovered by his girl friend as he was having an affair in their bedroom. Gerry's friend laughs at him and reminds Gerry that he had told him weeks ago that the affair would end without Gerry having to do anything. Gerry's friend asks him, "Do you want my opinion?" Gerry replies, "Am I going to like it?" With a chuckle, his friend responds with, "No. It's based on reality."

To know yourself, know your shadow
It is a common experience. You speak to a friend about some strong negative feelings you have about someone else. Your friend, being a true friend, says, "but aren't you a bit like that too?" You of course don't like to hear this, but it gets you thinking. Maybe you can be a bit like it too. That's a useful admission since it then helps you to manage that characteristic in yourself. This is the sort of self-awareness that is crucial to our growth, to get that the people in our lives are in some way a mirror of ourselves. The concept of the shadow, from Carl Jung, is one of the great insights from 20th century psychology that is invaluable to those of us who seek to build effective relationships with others.
The Most Bizarre Old School Sales Rule EVER
I had a friend years ago give me some very bad advice (thank goodness I didn't pay attention to it) "Kim, when you're first in business - no matter what they ask for - say YES." I think that is a bizarre recipe for disaster. It is also the Old School Rule of Selling that is out-dated, WRONG and definitely NOT for you!

Just Starting to Write? How to Get Help and Improve Your Writing Skills
The other day I was talking to a woman who was frustrated by the fact that she'd given her friend the first three chapters of her book to read and offer feedback, and weeks later her friend still hadn't read the pages. This was the woman's first book and she hadn't written anything since high school.
Top Eight Characteristics Of True Friends
Over the years, I have observed people who are real friends and people who claim to be friends. As I get older, I truly believe the old saying that you can count your real friends on one hand. So, you may be asking what makes a person a real friend. I have identified my top eight characteristics of what I feel constitutes a true friend, or what I feel I need most in a friendship. In observing your relationships with other people, whether they are family members, people you went to school with, coworkers, or colleagues, how many of them are real friends? How many of them possess the following characteristics I feel contribute to or reflect real friendships?
Company Vision, Mission, and Values, What’s the Difference?
I was asked recently by a friend to explain the difference between a vision statement, a mission statement, and a values statement. I must confess that I struggled to answer the question as many organizations seem to use these terms interchangeably. Then my parochial school education kicked in - I had heard a lot about people with a mission when at Catholic school - they called them “Missionaries”. So what was their mission? It could be described as to carry out the “Vision of Jesus of Nazareth” (he was certainly a visionary) and to do this in accordance with the values he espoused.

Our Fate is in Our Own Hands
A few years ago a friend had Ned, a small independent contractor, do extensive renovations to his home. Being a very fussy craftsman and cabinet maker, Ned did an especially superb job on the extensive woodwork involved in the renovation. About a year after completing the renovations, Ned bumped into my friend at the local hardware store. "The recession finally caught up to me," Ned told my friend. "I've had to lay off my crew and try to wait out this slow period."
