Giving to Your Clients
I love my clients and agents! It is so comforting to know that they are my ultimate clients. They want to grow. Each of them desire not only to have me work with them but also to partner with them. In addition, they each want someone who is committed to their organization for a lengthy period of time, and they want someone who is available to do work consistently...In this Season of Giving, I have been thinking about how I give to my clients and how they give to me. From weekly updates to meeting once a week even for 5 minutes to keep in touch, this simple "keeping in touch" is what makes partnerships with them

Why Learning Organisations Make Horse Sense
Flogging a dead horse is a commonly used idiom here in the UK. If someone is trying to convince someone else to do or feel something without any hope of succeeding, we say they're flogging a dead horse. This is used when someone is trying to raise interest in an issue that no-one supports anymore; beating a dead horse will not make it do any more work. 1. Similarly, the tribal wisdom of the Dakota Indians, passed on from generation to generation, says that, "When you discover that you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount." Rather than seeing a situation for what it is far too many individuals, bus

Staff Motivation
I’ve been promoted at work recently and I realize that one of the key skills I need to have is the ability to motivate my staff, especially when big projects crop up and a lot of extra time and overtime is necessary. Good thing I have a mentor who has taught me a lot about these things. My aunt was once an owner and CEO of a successful company that provided medical supplies in the field of cryogenics. I have heard many of her past employees refer to her as the “queen of staff motivation.” Even then, I remembered thinking that I wanted to be thought of in the same way one day. Her methods were simple, direct and effective

f telecommuting and workgroups scattered geographically, the challenge of furthering working relationships, bonding and building camaraderie is real. At one San Francisco Bay Area company a workgroup staged an elaborate Remote Baby Shower. The expectant mother, who was out-of-state, called in for a pre-arranged conference call with her workgroup. When she did...surprise! Everyone was having a party in her honor. They uploaded digital photos of a decorated conference room and each other, and e-mailed sound files with well wishes. Everyone shared in the good cheer. This creative use of technology brought employees closer to each other, figuratively if not litera
