Business Introductions -- Foibles and Fixes
Some people’s business introductions are a joy to listen to; they clearly articulate who they are, what service or product they offer, and who they provide it for. Their message is compelling, entertaining, and memorable. And others, well, do none of these things. A great introduction is important to have right now, whether you’re in business for yourself or not. Jobs and clients are a little less abundant these days, so people have to work even harder to differentiate themselves and be heard above the din of competition. So here are some introduction foibles and fixes to help you make the positive impression you want, and inspire your listener(s) to listen some more!

A False Assumption Made by Too Many Aspiring Entrepreneurs
In his best selling book, The E-Myth Revisited, Michael Gerber said that most people fall victim to the most disastrous assumption anyone can make about going into business. He calls it 'The Fatal Assumption'. That Fatal Assumption is: if you understand the technical work of a business, you understand a business that does that technical work.

Downloadable Soft Skills Train the Trainer Training Materials Streamlines Training
Most trainers start their career in technical roles. After all, before they become confident to teach others, they need to know the topic they want to teach inside out. Learning something deeply takes years and requires a lot of persistence. Eventually, a technical person may decide that it is time to start transferring that knowledge to others. This is where training and knowing how to train others comes into equation. We all know that someone can be very good at what they do but might not be good at telling you how they do it. On the other hand, some people are very good at explaining everything in simple terms, even though they are not world famous in their technical field.
