Hub You - Everyone talks in code!
If I asked you to describe your ideal car...assuming no limits...how would you describe it? Most people can describe their ideal car in great detail--from the make,model, features, and color, to any accessories to how it would feel to be behind the wheel. When I ask people to describe their ideal job, however, most people are far less clear. They may describe one or two attribute

a small local business marketing to customers in your own hometown.It's still a brand.The question is, is it a strong brand?Does it stand for something?Does it have
As we get older it seems to us that everyone talks in code. No one tells us what they really mean. Everything is hidden behind a veil of double talk.
But all is not lost. We found a copy of the code breaking manual on the web site of that well known code breaking magazine, Harpers Magazine.
It’s no ordinary code. This is special. We had many discussions before we decided to reveal the secrets of the code to you.
This is the code you need to understand what us Brits are talking about.
It was found on a wall in the European Courts of Justice and released to the world, by a journalist for The Economist (who else we hear you ask) in 2004. We thought it so important to your survival in the world that we have reproduced it here.
We hope it will change the course of the war against failed communication and create the foundation for ongoing successful conversations.

When it comes to some of the most uncomfortable situations and discussions that arise in the workplace, mulling over the issue of your salary might be one of the most intimidating and stressful topics to deal with. Since the cost of living rises over time, it may be left to you to bring up the subject to your employer when a raise hasn't been granted. At other times, you are just s
