Helping Staff Recover After A Layoff
Layoffs are wrenching for companies in many ways. First, there is the sobering reality that layoffs are necessary for the bottom line. Next come the anguishing decisions about what areas to cut, followed by the unpleasant task of sharing the news. No wonder company leaders want to wash their hands of this matter once they hand out the severance packages.

Buying A Franchise: Some Do's & Don't
Life has a way of manipulating the circumstances and the conditions. Often executives and those vulnerable to economic downturns turn to consideration of business ownership. I'm often asked when I speak to groups, "Are there some hard and fast rules of doing a proper examination or investigation of the various kinds or brands? Can you better understand the business if you do certain things?" The answer is mostly yes. The more you actually know the more confident you are once you make a decision. But there are dangers as well. Often we study so much the line becomes blurred between what is factual and actual and what is someone's overly blustered and inaccurately stated opinion or random thoughts. Here are some things I recommend to you that you DO:

Personal Branding From The King of Pop
Yesterday, the world heard the bizarre news that Michael Jackson, the self-proclaimed King of Pop, had died. Talk about a strong personal brand.

The Fine Art of Dealing with Dominant People
Direct, decisive, determined, domineering. These are just some of the words that describe a highly dominant personality. Everyone knows one. You might even be one. Dominant people are the leaders, the pioneers, the risk-takers. Companies are run by them, wars are led by them, innovation follows in their wake. These are the people that we look to lead us where we might not otherwise go. If you are lucky, you will work for one. If you are really lucky, their office will be in another state. Yes, dominant people are the ones we love to hate, or at least hate to talk to (notice that I did not mention listening as a strong point).

Get Comfortable The beginning of your talk has to be strong, so you need to get comfortable quickly and get on a roll. Here are two ways to do that:

Change Your Self Talk - Change Your Results
The problem is that most of our self-talk is negative. And even worse, we tend to believe our self-talk and that influences our performance - in a big way. For example, have you ever stopped to listen to your self-talk after you missed a sale?

Strong Leaders are the Real Deal
We all know that strong leaders are the real deal. They embody the leadership clichés like "walk the talk" or "lead by example." Strong leaders maintain a close connection between what they say and what they do. Their video is in sync with their audio. The vision (and values and purpose) they set out for their team or organization is no different from what they set out for their own lives. Leaders don't try to make others into something that they are not themselves.
