Conducting a walk through to check the quality of the service, and providing a thank you gift. Again, not a bad idea, but one that may or may not improve t
In my conversations with individuals over the last several months a common theme has occurred. Many have said, “In light of the economic times, I need to put my own Career Vision on hold.” Does Economic Recession mean a Career Vision Recession?If Career Vision were a one-time situation or event, I would agree with that statement. HOWEVER, Career Vision process and creation is much like growing a garden. We can’t stop the pruning, watering, weeding, hoeing, general care and feeding. If we do the garden dies and we have to start all over. During a drought, we water more. This is the similar to the way to frame what needs to happen with your Career Vision during a recessionary time. You may need to focus on the tactical and practical. If you are unemployed and needi
Many American workers are becoming more savvy when choosing how to spend their work life. The days of choosing a career and remaining with that same career for our entire lifespan have long since passed. There are several contributing factors to this trend but I believe they all come from the same root cause. A lack of focused intention.
The trouble with most relationships is that we pick out the one little thing we do not want, and then give that unwanted thing all of our focus, energy, and attention, thus bringing ourselves more of the very thing we did not want.
I have witnessed this very phenomenon so many times in my own work life; it never ceases to amaze me, the fallout that naturally follows this way of thinking. I’m going to use my most recent employer as an example: The management team set a goal to improve customer retention, great goal, one that every company strives for, the problem however, is that there was some wisdom missing in the plan. The plan was flawed for two reasons, one it did not take into consideration how the changes would affect their workforce. And two, it did not use the law of straight lines, which simply mirrors the path of least resistance in achieving the targeted goal. The reality is this, if the intent was to increase customer retention, then the only real way to impact that, would be to simply provide the customer with the service they were sold, for a reasonable and competitive rate.
The straightest path to achieving this goal is met through providing quality work, with consistency. From safe, reliable, trustworthy staff, within the agreed upon time frame.

Not long ago a woman contacted me the day after she had the worst performance appraisal of her career. Feeling blindsided by unwarranted criticism and unrecognized for the hard work she had contributed during the year, she was ready to walk away from her job!At that point all I could do was damage control. While I was able to offer advice and strategies to help her gain clarity about what happened, minimize the damage to her self esteem, and help her re-establish communication with her boss, how much better it would have been had she come to see me before her performance review! We could have tracked her progress on key projects, identified challenges she has faced, and developed an action plan to help her overcome them. She might have even walked away with praise and a r

Whilst it is clear that not everyone is destined to own and run a business and certainly there are a lot of budding entrepreneurs entering the world of business today. Effort, energy, attitude, skill and knowledge are all factors that govern, at least to some degree your ability to own and run an efficient and highly profitable business. Another factor that can impact on the degree of business success that you experience is – Feng Shui.Feng Shui is the force that is said to be able to influence your destiny. It is able to modify the standard and level of your success. And there is an abundance of evidence from many satisfied customers, globally, that claim Feng Shui assists in changing the level of gains or losses in business.There are two types of Feng Shui enviro

There are so many job and business opportunities online, that it seems to be a real goldmine, but what you don't now, is that a lot of people fall for scams and then get frustrated for not seeing the results that they want. You have to look for legitimate work at home jobs that will pay you month after month.I will tell you where you should start, but first lets look at some points you have to be aware before choosing that great online job. Never choose a job opportunity that seems to good to be true, always ask for contact information and if you want to be completely sure that the job is real, make a phone call to the company or employer.There are many places where you will come across legitimate work at home jobs ads, in newspapers, directories, online news, goog

For those who are fluent in another language, foreign language (ie non-English) proof reading can be a great source of income. It is a difficult area for those who are not fluent to get into though. That is because, in order to be a proofreader, you must be able to do several things. It is not just spelling errors that the proofreader needs to fix. There are many other things that they need to do. It is important, then, that those who are seeking proof reading opportunities have the skills necessary to get the job done correctly.For those who can do this, they will be in demand and have repeated work.Proofreaders have to read copy and correct any errors in punctuation, grammatics, and also in the spelling. But, most of the time, they also have to ensure that
Instead however the management team chose to make its sales force responsible for returning for a second visit, after the customer experienced their first service call. Conducting a walk through to check the quality of the service, and providing a thank you gift. Again, not a bad idea, but one that may or may not improve the desired goal of customer retention. The fact is that if the customer needs your service and you are providing it with consistent quality, that and only that, will make them spend their hard earned money with you over the long haul.
My company was a subsidiary of a multi-billion dollar service organization, and we happened to be a branch of a corporation, under the overall umbrella of the parent Company. That, in and of itself can be daunting to the employee/ employer relationship, but more importantly epitomizes the saying “one hand doesn't know what the other hand is doing”, making effective working relationships and agreements very difficult to honor.
Corporations are leaving their employees out of their planning. Managers can take surveys, they may offer perks, give awards, saturate their workers with training seminars, and increase the width of the policy and procedure manual. But none of these things will address the number one problem I unveiled at the beginning. Focusing too much on the undesired target, in this example: (lost customers) instead of focusing more on the desired target (more satisfied customers). An inexpensive promotional gift is not going to stop an unsatisfied customer from going elsewhere to do business. No more than is increasing your employees workload, while decreasing their pay, going to result in long term profit. It will cost the organization thousands of dollars when they lose their top producers, over a lack of thoughtful planning and concern for how decisions affect their workers.
Corporations increasingly seek to inhabit states with few employee rights, in an effort to save cost. However, several options are al
