Entrepeneur's Creed relegated to bathroom corridor

There has been a lot of bashing of business these days in our political discussions. There are, no doubt, some in any field of endeavor who lie or cheat or abuse people in the process of getting to the top, but as a whole, we should honor, not discourage those who have the courage to launch out on their own and start their own business. As someone who has worked in a variety of capacities -- for large academic institutions, stable government, the judiciary, a medium-size estabished law firm,… Continue

Becoming a Corporate Athlete!

A while ago, while studying for my Wellcoaching certification, I ran across an article called The Making of a Corporate Athlete.

3 Tips to Negotiating Like a Pro

Add the following three negotiation techniques your arsenal.

Win-Win Solutions

When negotiating, always look for win-win solutions, and present them as such. When I was selling real estate, it was common for sellers to think that buyers wanted the lowest price they could get.

Telecommuting: Not For Everyone but for Some, Great

The research is in! There is a dramatic increase, even up to 40% increase in some studies, in productivity for those people who are able to telecommute! Telecommuting means that an employer works from a location not typically expected. Obviously, the most recognizable telecommuting is done from the employee's home, but technically it could be from any remote location.

Elearning: Your employees may love it

Training can increase employees’ productivity dramatically and help their motivation, but the problem is how to provide that training and how to ensure it is effective.
