Approachability FAQ's Answered, Part 2
The following questions come directly from hand-written audience evaluations from my speeches. I hope they provide you with great insight into approachability!How can I get over fear of rejection? First of all, you’re not alone. Fear of rejection is the #1 reason humans are terrified of public speaking, afraid to approach others, and especially, ask others out on dates. (Boy have I been there before!)My suggestion: reps. It’s just like working out. Let’s say you did 20 reps of 50 lbs. every day for two weeks. The third week, you could easily move up to 65 lb

Be Results Oriented
Unlike task management, results oriented thinking produces desired outcomes. This was something we learned over time. We had been reading books, educating ourselves on personal development and business. One book in particular, The Power of Focus, by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Les Hewitt, helped us to understand and apply this concept. We had been thinking in terms of writing down daily tasks and trying to get as many of those done as possible in a day. We then stepped back and looked at what goals we wanted most – our must-have goals. We fine-tuned our goals and decided on what w

Think back to the carefree days of summer camp. Remember the excitement of releasing the rope swing to land in a cool lake? Wasn’t it great fun to play Capture the Flag at dusk, racing into the woods that cast semi-scary shadows? Camp directors often get letters from parents saying, “My son returned from camp with self-confidence and a new outlook on life. He talks often about his camp counselor. I know that counselor played a large role in bringing about a positive change in my son.”

Outdoor Billboard Advertising Banned In NYC'S Times Square - Imagine If This Were True
What would it be like if outdoor billboard ads were banned in NYC’s Times Square? To me part of the allure of Times Square is the ads. The advertising, to me, is like artwork. Not only that, the lights and digital screens brighten up Times Square to make it almost seem as though it’s daytime, even in the middle of the night.Would Times Square feel as alive as it does right now if there were billboards, no advertising, no flashing neon lights, and no television screens? The reason I ask is that Sao Paulo, Brazil has just recently banned all outdoor advertising in the city with the aim

Unemployment Blues: Make Time For Me
So much to do, so little time, is a constant refrain heard from those seeking work. Everyone gives lots of advice (including me): send out resumes, apply on the Internet, read the Classified, go to job fairs, and network, network, network. Some of us become so overwhelmed with all that we need to do that we can't figure out where to start so end up doing nothing at all.Assuming that you have established some kind of a schedule that allows you to prioritize your activities on any given day, you are probably humming along, carefully pursuing the actions that are likely to lead to a job

What Employers Look For In Salespeople
We’ve talked a lot about how the economy is hot right now and we’re in a full employment situation, and the fact is that what employers are looking for right now in good sales people is having a strong “hunter” profile. There are lots of different types of sales profiles out there, but the individual who is really talented and passionate about finding and closing new business, opening new accounts and generating new market share for a company provides the most value. If you are a true hunter with strong prospecting and qualifying skills, you have the best opportunities to get ahead in you

Camp counselors display leadership. They are the ones saying, “Let’s get this cabin cleaned up so we win the Pink Flamingo award!” Yes, the familiar “Management by Walking Around” has its merit. Yet it also takes a leader to make suggestions, set an example and actually do something to inspire employees. As a professional speaker, I frequently work with business groups. As part of the program, groups of 4-6 employees get an activity they need to accomplish within a designated time period. Some groups, repeatedly ask each other, “How do we want to do this?” “Anyone have any ideas?” “What is the best way to present this material?” They’re s

Using state-of-the-art job search engines, online recruitment has become a powerful tool for a fast, efficient and economical job search and the performance is improving constantly. But every jobseeker should be aware of the fact that even the most powerful job search engine is only as a single tool in the Job Search Strategy and that still finding a job is all about people, the people you know, and people you meet who have the job information and who will inevitably help you get a job. Online Job Search using all-in-one engines definitely makes life much easier but should not be overestimated.
