Hub You - When Feedback Gets Personal
I recently ran a survey and asked people the question: "If you are not happy in your current work situation, then why haven't you changed it?" The top rated response was "fear of losing financial stability."The financial stability of a paycheck is a big fat illusion. If you are an employee, you probably have a salary, which is divided in monthly or weekly paychecks. Because you get the same amount in each check, you may believe that you have a stable source of income and can live your life without fear of financial instability.This is dangerous thinking that puts your financial life at risk.Layoffs, downsizing, mergers, takeovers and incompetent managers are a well-documented part of corporate life. I have seen all of them in my career as a corporate employee, and even more in my ca

Regardless of your current employment situation, you can use these job hunting tips to help you put together a job search that will see you in your dream job in no time.Your job search is your job! Unless you're as lucky as that one in a billion person discovered while waitressing and whisked away to fame and fortune, your job is not going to come to you. You have to go out and find it.

Tackling a personal hygiene issue at work is never easy. Most people try to ignore it or hope that it’ll miraculously go away. But unfortunately it hasn’t, and it’s getting harder to ignore.
Several other members of your team have commented on it and are now waiting for you to do something. Their own attempts at dropping hints have proved useless and rather expensive - the gift boxes of toiletries have grown bigger with each Christmas and birthday, and yet the smell still lingers.

Do you like to stand in line? At the local coffee shop or at the bank? You could handle a short wait to get a latte or make a deposit into your bank account-- or can you? Next time you are in the local caf? or bank just look around. How many people get frustrated waiting in a simple line for a coffee and then leave and never get that cup of coffee?Many small business owners do the exactly same thing in their career. Perhaps they commit to a certain goal in their business or to become a leader in their community. Just like the coffee shop or bank, many business owners get frustrated when they do not get instant gratification in their business and get out of line.Another great example of getting out of line is your New Year’s resolution. Imagine you commit to quit smoking on New Year’s

Legend has it that the 4th Earl of Sandwich placed his meat between two pieces of bread because it allowed him to continue playing cards while eating without getting his cards sticky from his greasy hands -- hence the name “sandwich.”If you will pardon the pun, if your advertising sales are not a sandwich you are missing the bread and butter of the sales process.Each of the most popular sandwich making salads (tuna, chicken salad, egg and ham, etc.) can be served on a bed of lettuce, a salad, or between slices of bread, a sandwich.The salad is the heart of the sales meal. Within the salad, you have mixed all the facts and benefits that make the meal. You are pitching the best ingredient you can muster. You have seasoned to the prospects taste. You have added the mayo of your personal

To really grab attention with your marketing, you need to make your readers identify with your message. A powerful way to do this is with a case study.A case study is essentially a customer success story. It works because, if done properly, your readers will identify with your customer, recognize their own problem and see how you can solve that problem.Case studies follow the same general format:1. Introduce your customer. Highlight all they ways they resemble your typical customer. You want the readers to see themselves in this description.2. Describe their problem. Detail all the ways they tried, and failed, to solve their problem. The more details you supply, the more your customer’s frustrations will come alive. You want the reader to say, “Hey, that sounds like me!”
To be fair, you did try and tackle the subject indirectly during a team meeting. Unfortunately, your request that everyone makes sure they’re always clean and smart for work only succeeded in upsetting the rest of the team, while Mary seemed to remain blissfully unaware that she was the intended target of your comment.
