    Three Communication Secrets of The Great Communicator
    I’ve worked in media and public relations for 20 years, and experience has taught me that communication is an essential skill to master in order to be successful in all aspects of one’s life. No one person can do many things without the involvement of other human beings; having superior communication skills, then, is a highly enviable quality, and those who manage such a feat serve as role models to the rest of us. Ronald Reagan, “The Great Communicator", exemplified this quality so well that people elected him President.1. Confidence, such as Reagan had,

    Opening a new business in the real world or online in cyberspace requires thinking beyond all the money you will make. Most small business owners are clear on their ultimate goal, yet often many fail to spend time planning their marketing image. To succeed, first impressions are critical, or you may violate what I call My 5 Second Rule:

    When a new prospect finds your web site, you have 5 seconds to convince them to stay.

    The rule applies in the physical world, also. Your printed materials may be dumped in the trash just as quickly, or a visitor to your company may browse briefly while in fact the no sale decision was made in those critical first few seconds.

    Regardless of your business, your image as a professional and credible source for a product or service depends on making a positive first impression. While most people don't realize the subconscious dynam

    Networking Doesn't Have To Mean Fried Breakfasts
    How many people do you know already?Chances are that if you are past 25 years old, you will know upwards of a thousand people. That's folks you would recognise if they bumped into you in the street. Hey, it might even be several thousand.If you are looking for a career change, this is an opportunity you can leverage, through the people you know.The common concept of 'networking' is different. It's a business world in-your-face imposition where you are working against, rather than with the flow.So why would you go off meeting people that you didn't

    Career Job Satisfaction - Get Off the Treadmill - Exit Your Rat Race!
    Get Off the Treadmill - Exit Your Rat Race!We can all get in a rut from time to time. Who hasn’t had a moment in their lives where you’ve asked yourself the question: “Why am I doing this?” Whether it's who you've become, the business you are in, your career, relationships, where you live or all of the above - sometimes you realise you're just not where you want to be – and you’re not sure how you got there! It sure feels like your own version of a rat race though.If where you want to be in your life is not where you are, then maybe it's time for you to

    Construction Job Market In 2007
    Construction industry is related to the building and assembling of any structure on site. Many people think of construction as one thing, but it's a series of tasks which combine to make one project. In a normal construction project, there is a project manager which oversees the specific operation, as well as subcontractors like painters and carpenters as well as internal employees. The whole operation is headed by someone titled the construction manager.There are three main types of construction: building construction, residential construction, and heavy/highway co

    Business Ethics: An Oxymoron?
    Why do I believe good PR and business ethics are inextricably linked? It comes down to definitions. Ethics is learning what is right and what is wrong and then doing the "right thing." PR involves providing counsel on the "right thing" to do and then helping the organization get credit for it.The business and political excess of the last 10 years have taken some PR practitioners to the dark side because they felt it was the only way for their company to profit. Although I personally believe doing right for right's sake is enough, there are some who may not share this v
    s, your image as a professional and credible source for a product or service depends on making a positive first impression. While most people don't realize the subconscious dynamics that occur during an introduction, how you are perceived is clouded with prejudice.

    In a face to face meeting, subconsciously your prospect will categorize you immediately by sex, age, and race. This fact may be hard to believe, however, individual life experiences connect your combination of these 3 characteristics into a fixed profile based on past encounters. Overcoming any negatives begins when you speak. A warm and friendly approach while being prepared to offer the benefits of doing business will help you succeed.

    In print, your business card, ad, or brochure tells a similar story without the subconscious human preconceptions. The message will still elicit a reaction, good or bad
