Powersharing Trumps Empowerment
We want to win the hearts and minds of our people, but we don't want to stop there. We want them to do something with their hearts and minds, to use them to open new doors, to put them into action to help their Brothers and others who cross their paths. Powersharing. We can do it with our direct reports, our team members, and our organizations. Instead of doing something to them (empowerment) we can do something with them (powersharing).

Psssst... hire the quiet one...
So which candidate is going to get the job offer? The quiet one that answered all your questions very well, or that incredibly outgoing candidate that could barely stay seated? Leaning towards the firecracker? After all, who doesn't prefer the smiley super enthusiastic candidate?

The One Word That Can Shift Your Thinking
Nothing stops initiative and innovation faster than “Yes, but….” Or, “We tried that before and it didn’t work.” You might as well say “No.” It’s not just about semantics. In fact, “Yes, but” may be the No. 1 phrase for killing personal hope, putting great ideas on ice and threatening innovation in organizations. The words we use reflect our thinking. Are your words positive and expansive or negative and restrictive? Try using the phrase 'yes, and' to shift your thinking and see new possibilities.

The Power of Social Networking Groups
Paraphrasing the old saying, "if your audience won't come to the mountain (i.e. your web site, webinars etc.), then bring the mountain to the audience." What we are really talking about is meeting your audience where they are, at their computer at work and/or at home.

Do People Want To Be Sold To – The most pointless debate in sales?
Do we like to be sold to or not? Does it matter? What is your opinion?
Close More Sales Without Selling!
To me, being “sold” is when somebody convinces me to buy something – whether or not I really needed or wanted it. Have you ever been convinced by someone to buy something, maybe even against your better judgment, and then regretted having made the purchase?

NLP - Natural Language Processing to become an evem more important influence to SEO
What is the study of "Semantics?" In general, or in the simplest of terms, "semantics" is the study of "language meaning."

Develop Customer Centricity with CRM
Contrary to popular belief, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is not a system, or a technology, or a simple application. CRM is a holistic strategy that places customers at the center of all business operations. Some call this customer-centricity; others coin this approach as listening to the “voice of the customer.” Regardless of semantics, CRM is the integration of people, processes, and technology, which allow a company to leverage its information assets to identify, attract, and retain profitable customers. CRM applications should not be viewed as the Holy Grail that will fix all your business challenges; they are simply facilitators.

Leaders Can't Be Trained
