Coaching Solutions For You
Let’s be honest! Do you ever feel overwhelmed, stressed, tired, stuck in the same old rut, unorganized, underappreciated, lacking direction or focus on your goals, bored with your work and/or without balance between your time working and your time spent with family and friends? Remember, I did say be honest! If you answered truthfully, you said YES and I can tell you that you have lots of company
Nice vs. Honest - A Woman's Struggle
Why is it that so many women have a hard time being "honest"? Honest in the sense that when a colleague or peer asks for advice on a task that they've done, an article they've written, or a new project they've created.... women will tend to be "nice" as opposed to honest. Instead of giving them an honest response and critique, women many times will just say, "It's wonderful", "It's perfect', or "I think you did a great job", when in reality they may think it needs a lot of improvement.

The Self Promotion Piece - Bringing a Graphics Standard into the Business World
All business owners are familiar with the corporate brochure, but rarely is it utilized in the same way by companies in non-creative fields. Most corporate brochures end up serving either as extended ads (too obviously self-serving, unless the ad is the purpose), or dry company profiles (which are, well, dry). I often suggest a more creative approach to my clients… a “show” rather than “tell”.
Community Involvement the Wrong Way
There are wrong ways to demonstrate community involvement as well. If you volunteer to work on a committee but are never available for meetings, or if you sponsor a little league team and don't show up for games, you're proving yourself to be crass and superficial, probably sucking up the community to get business instead of working for it for altruistic reasons. Consumers are more sophisticated than ever these days. People know the difference between serving the community and serving yourself. If you're not willing to devote honest time and energy to your community, you're better off skipping this weapon and leaving it to the real guerrillas in your community. I just hope for your sake that none are your direct competitors.
Can Honest Copywriting Succeed?
Honest copy is more effective than "hype copy" if it treats the reader as intelligent. Readers will believe honesty but see through hype. And yet, a good honest marketing piece can be just as captivating as hype, with none of the negative baggage.
You Get More Flies with Sugar
Let's be serious. If you're having problems, anyone asking you about them already knows what's up. So cowboy-up and face the music. Be open and honest. You don't have to share the dirty laundry and all the details. But you can be honest, open and paint a picture that is true. People respect other people that open the kimono and tell the truth. And guess what, customers are people!

Introverts, Burger Toppings and Business Networking?
Many of us network like we eat a burger: on auto-pilot. Just how well is that serving you? In particular as an introvert it may not be. And if it's not, then here's what to do about it.
Honoring Honesty - How Honest Are You?
Honesty is one of those virtues that most people say they possess. When you look at your interactions with family members, friends, colleagues, and others, how honest are you? To what extent are you truthful? When you say you will do something, do you actually do it? When someone asks for your opinion, do you provide an honest one, even if you know it may hurt the person's feelings? Do you strive to be honest but back away in fear of retaliation? This article provides some tips on what honesty is and how to be honest in a way that is not offensive to others.
Top Three Ways to Become a Sales Truth Teller

Organizational Measurement and Feedback Pathways and Pitfalls (Part One)
Far too many measures are designed to meet internal needs. They may satisfy management's command-and-control paranoia for "snoopervision" or they're designed to serve accounting information technology, human resources or other support departments. Numerous measures are also highly technical, production- or product What's often missing from these inward measurements is the customer. High performing organizations measure from the outside in along the customer-partner chain. They begin by measuring what's important to customers and pinpointing the performance gaps. Next on the measurement pecking order are the needs of those external and internal partners serving customers. Then attention turns to the people producing products or serving the servers.
