Security Theatre
Almost everything that happens before you fly on a plane is not as it seems. In order to deal with anxiety, the airlines put on a show. They've been doing it for a long, long time, and it's starting to show signs of wear and tear. The show is getting old and the lies are starting to show. Here's some snips from an Economist article (hat tip to the Freaknomics blog):
Making an Exhibition of Yourself - Getting the most from business and trade shows
From 'Grow your own Business' to 'The Franchise Show'; from 'Ideal Business Show' to 'E Commerce 08', there are a wealth of business exhibitions to choose from. I recently attended the Business StartUp Show in London and its success was clear to see. The exhibition hall was buzzing all day, some of the bigger stands had swarms of people around them and queues for the business seminars snaked around the hall. Among all of the activity there were some wonderful examples of how to, and how not to, network at an exhibition. Events like this are, naturally, great ground for networking. Whether you are an exhibitor or a visitor, it's an opportunity to grasp with both hands. Here are some of my top tips for networking, both as a visitor to a business exhibition, and as an exhibitor based on what I observed on the day:

Participating in an Overseas Trade Show
If you’ve ever organized participation in a trade show in the U.S., you know how much work it is! Selecting the right show, getting all the paperwork in on time, remembering to make hotel and travel reservations for everyone attending, deciding what your booth should look like….the tasks are seemingly endless!

Faith and Business Values: A Perfect Match
As Christian businessmen and women our hands are not tied if we integrate our faith into our business. On the contrary, we have an extra set of hands to lead us and guide us. Not only can we integrate our faith and our business, but we can show the world that as Christians we can have unwavering strength and limitless compassion simultaneously and seamlessly. And as is true with God in all things, He is faithful. As I have personally followed what scripture shares with us about leadership and business, I have seen the wisdom of His ways and seen success achieved. My business has been profitable since day 1. God’s vision for my business has stayed consistent and developed over time adding strategies and tactics along the way. My business has skipped the roller coaster that I see in client business of constantly changing focus and vision.

Leadership means better not bitter
Nick Vujicic is an example of leadership. He was born without arms and legs. He asked God, why you have taken away my hands and legs? Why you have not born me like others? Why you have leaved me on the planet in handicap situation? Now, I am challenging you .I will show you my power to lead and strike in the life.
Social Media Marketing…The Challenge of Herding Cats
Social media marketing, communications. Gawd it sounds like soooo much fun...so interesting...so challenging...so mano y mano!

Truck Drivers --- Some of our Best Sales People
I can't tell you how many times I have heard people say exactly that --- "Our Truck Drivers are some of our Best Sales People." In fact, I often made that statement myself when I ran my own Steel Processing Distribution Center. During seminars and association meetings I still often hear CEO's and other executives make that comment over and over again. But ------ When I ask for a show of hands as to how many people actually train their truck drivers on sales techniques very few hands go up.

How to Develop Tough Skin And Refuse to Give Up
Do you give up easily? When you fail to get what you want in a short period of time, do you quickly throw up your hands and move on to something else?
