Do Sales Presentations Make You Nervous? Try Taking A Speech Class
June 18, 2008
The only way to get better at something is to do it. Taking a speech or business communication class will force you to make presentations to audiences of people you don’t know. Speaking to groups of people that you don’t know can be an extremely hard thing to do. For some it comes naturally but for most of us it’s about as pleasant as getting a tooth pulled. But it doesn’t have to be that way. With most skills that a person develops the old axiom “practice makes perfect”... Read more »

Thinking about Marketing Stickiness
June 13, 2008
A new idea is delicate. It can be killed by a sneer or a yawn; it can be stabbed to death by a joke or worried to death by a frown on the right person’s brow. -Charles Browder I was intrigued by finding a way to capture public imagination for the 400 Year Project (finding ways to demonstrate and encourage making improvements 20 times faster in all areas from 2015 through 2035).

One Step to Making Small Talk
June 11, 2008
Just the thought of small talk congers up painful memories of stilted conversations that revolved around the weather and umpteen other dreadfully boring topics. While small talk is engaging in non-personal conversation that is casual, light and “safe” - meaning that the topics are of general interest and are not offensive - it doesn’t have to set off rounds of yawn-tag and constant clock watching. Fortunately, the key to making good small talk is simple: be interested in other... Read more »
Characteristics of Good Constructive Feedback
June 11, 2008
We often confuse feedback with criticism - probably because much of our experience with it has had more to do with what we’ve done wrong than what we’ve done right or how we could do better. This is unfortunate. Feedback should not be viewed as a personal assault or a list of errors, mistakes, or mishaps. It should be seen as an essential part of our (and others’) ongoing professional and personal development and growth. While the content of the feedback can be negative its delivery... Read more »
