Effective Communication, Presentation Skills Are Stifled By PowerPoint
| |
| Every time I sit through a PowerPoint presentation, my distaste for this domineering technology grows. The speaker interrupts eye contact repeatedly, most of us more than one table back from the screen can't make out much of the lettering, and the give-and-take that should enliven any such presentation takes another nosedive -- offering nothing but the illusion of coherence. It's technology as a crutch, standing in poorly for the good old-fashioned display of public speaking skills that we have within us. It's business communication gone awry.

What Makes Your Business So Special?
| |
| The one question every business, branding, and marketing consultant asks is "what makes you special; what makes you different?" If you want to grow your business and get to the next level, defining what makes you special is a good place to start. Most businesses are copycat companies, selling the same thing, in the same way as most of their competitors, making for a real challenge in providing an adequate answer to the "what makes you so special?" question. But fear not, it is easier than you think. |

Special Loans
| |
| What are special loans? Well let’s define them as loans that are not the usual type. If that seems a little vague to you, you’re not alone. A special loan would be a loan outside of the typical- go to the bank, sign some papers and make payments or they are going to take your boat- kind of loan. Sometimes we’re all forced to get a little creative. When that happens, special loans are what will pull us through.
A special loan in the way of a house mortgage is often the first kind that you will run into. These loans are generally backed by a government agency such as HUD (Housing and Urban Development).

So Who The Hell Am I?
| |
| Many facets of life, business, and even the perception we hold of success, are based on the foundation of our special relationships and our judgment. Special relationships can be used to endorse �I am loved and wanted� or �I am dismissed and/or unimportant�. So, for example, if I am not invited to the party or I don�t get the promotion, or the bank won�t extend my overdraft I can use my special relationships to evaluate my own worth in a negative sense.
Rather than getting in touch with our own sense of who we are, we look to our special relationships to define us.
