Return on Investment in Coaching: “But Will It Make Us More Money?”
| |
| Coaching is now widely recognised as a means of increasing employee motivation, retention and engagement, and that these will contribute to bigger profits or (in the case of state organisations) better budget management. But it is a fact that many L&D executives and suppliers have to find ways of justifying the spend in terms of concrete results. Corporate culture expert Carol Wilson looks at methods and tools for measuring the return on coaching programmes from the beginning to the end of the project, and
tying that return into hard figures. |

Waiting To Wait - Emerging From 2009
| |
| For those of you running or owning a small business and you survived last year, I’ve got news for you. Surviving 2009 and 2008 for that matter was a monumental task and I applaud those of you that are still viable. But if you were waiting for the economy to normalize so you can get back to doing business the way you had in the past, that just won’t work again. That being the case, your business could possibly be more vulnerable in a good economy.

Seven critical steps to positioning you as a thought leader
| |
| The seven key steps in the START IP methodology will help your arrive at a robust thought leadership position for you or for your company and its brands. |
|
|
Can thought leadership survive without online?
| |
| The traditional way we communicate with our stakeholders has changed. It is no longer about communicating to them but rather with them with. Online and social media play a major role in this and it is a role that has serious implications for becoming a thought leader. |
|
|
How can failure and thought leadership go hand in hand?
| |
| The very nature of true thought leadership means that you will fail at some point. If you are leading the conversation, debate, research, commentary in your sector there will always be detractors. Don't let fear of failure hold back your thought leadership campaign. |
|
|
Does one quick campaign = thought leadership?
| |
| There are two types of thought leadership. Don't be fooled into thinking that just because you put out one white paper or commission one piece of research that you are now a thought leader in your industry. It is a step in the right direction but it takes more than that. |
|
|
Do you have the coourage to be a thought leader?
| |
| Thought leaders need to be brave - brave with their thoughts, brave with how they put them out there and brave enough to stand up and defend them if necessary. The way we communicate with our various stakeholders has changed significantly and thought leadership can deliver the means for engaging in a more meaningful way for both parties. |
|
|
Thought leadership is powered by three key principles
| |
| Thought leadership rests on three key principles: It is a PR rather than an advertising led exercise; It is about sharing information and content, and: It should produce a sound business outcome. |
|
|
How thought leadership can turbo charge your brand
| |
| Thought leadership is an extremely powerful leadership tool for a company or one's own personal branding. But what does it require to become a thought leader? |

The Importance Of Time Management When Running A Home Business
| |
| Running a home business is not an easy task because it involves simultaneous time management on professional as well as personal fronts. Also, home business owners cannot afford to waste time like salaried employees sometimes do. This is because home business owners are fully aware of the fact that if they do not manage their time properly, they will not be able to earn enough money. In simple words, home business time management is vital because the time you spend on your business is usually directly linked with the amount of money you will make.

The Honeymoon Hangover - why the ideal hire can fail
| |
| We often find the ideal candidate and think that he or she will take us where we need to go. Unfortunately the reality of team dynamics can mean the positive, focussed "new" team can start off well - then all of a sudden the team falters and begins to fail.

Create a 6-Figure Income with a Proven Business Design
| |
| I’ve been a successful entrepreneur for over 20 years and I ran my first two businesses without a real business design. In other words I did what most small business owners do. They sell a few basic products or services. They find a few ways to market them and they get clients. They sell time for money and they create an income ceiling. So what was the problem? |

Network Marketing Is A Business Of Systems Not A Love Story
| |
| At the mere mention of a system, our eyes glaze over and we start to bang our heads against the wall screaming “I hate systems”. But without systems our lives would be in chaos. No “red lights” think of the intersection crashes; no systems for your network marketing business has failure written all over it. |

Let Time Bear Dividends for You
| |
| I have heard so often from people that “I don’t have time” or “There is so much to do, I just can’t catch up.” The truth is that we all have the same amount of time: 24 hours x 7 days. This is the only resource that we are given equally. The only difference is where and how we spend it. In my opinion, where and how we spend our time has the greatest effect on the results in our life.

Idealism AND Pragmatism
| |
| dealism without pragmatism is like a beautiful house on paper. It is nice to look at and dream of, but it does not manifest itself into physical reality. Pragmatism without idealism is like putting a house together without a design, it serves some purpose in the short run, but does not create lasting values.
As Victor Hugo put it, it is by the real that we exist, and it is by the ideal that we live. As human beings, we obviously need both: to exist and to live. To create a meaningful and fulfilling life, we need both ideals AND practicality.

How To Spot Biggest Applicant Lies
| |
| Over the last few years we have seen a significant rise in unemployment rates nationwide, some of the highest in the last few decades actually. To some recruiters this is a dream come true due to the overflow of applicants that they now have, but to the true Talent Scouts this is a complete nightmare. Why? Because now it is that much more difficult to find that top 1%. I have always been a firm believer that a resume is a limited representation of the candidate. So if this is indeed the case, what does this say about them when the majority of the information in their resume is fabricated and/or inaccurate? |

12 steps field sales coach plan

| The reality is that most sales managers do not spend enough time with their staff in a coaching capacity. Providing constant feedback and being a role model who demonstrates the right skills.
Many managers today are still focusing too heavily on short term efficiency and not long term effectiveness. Development of staff through on-the-job coaching is a critical function of modern day managers but can take second place to some of the more urgent, but less important priorities.

No Time........Really??
| |
| I love to pay attention to the language I use and also the words my clients choose. Being aware of our own language provides a window into where we may have blind spots, fears or beliefs standing in our way.
I often catch my clients using the phrase, “I just don’t have time.” It’s a sentence that suggests that we have no power over how we spend our time. And the truth is, we do. Certainly there can be negative consequences to choosing to spend our time in one way over another. And avoiding those negative consequences can drive our choices, but, at the end of the day, we are choosing! |

The Two Key Components to Living with Tenacity

When I’m working with clients I often use the analogy of getting your screaming baby strapped into a car seat to illustrate tenacity. Because, if you have kids, you have experienced tenacity! When you are putting your child in their car seat your purpose is to make your baby safe. Your baby hates to feel confined and wants nothing to do with it. You can not reason with a baby or explain your logic so you must just make it happen. |

There were many lessons to be learned from this story and I will share a few of the highlight moments of that call with you.

This is human weakness for wanting to be accepted or approved by everybody. Guess what. None of that matters because it is what you think of yourself, your self love is what counts and matters most and regardless of anyone else's opinion it is your self- belief that will lead you to success.
