Every CEO or business owner should know who his or her top performers are. Every department manager and division manager should also know each top performer by name and by motivation type. Why motivation type? Because we all have intrinsic motivators that make us tick (or not!)
Many organizations have found it necessary to cut training expenses in this troubled economy. Critically reviewing expenses is very smart business. Cutting training expenses for your top performers, or A-Players, is not good business! Why? Because your top performers usually work circles around average employees! Your “A Players” have an inner drive to succeed. When the labor market improves, smart companies will have already established smart initiatives to retain top talent!

by using the The Art of Conversation
This week we have looked at the art of conversation, why it is important, and how to master the art. This post looks at things to avoid. Don’t let a bad mood or a wrong turn become the “kiss of death” in your social and family circles. Once you become labeled as a “chatter box”, “hot head”, or a “know-it-all”, these labels are hard to remove.
“She has lost the art of conversation, but not, unfortunately, the power of speech.”
– George Bernard Shaw

Conversation is an art. Not talking. Talking is a verb. Mastering the art of conversation is a common skill among successful people. Have you ever wondered how some people can engage total strangers in conversation? How about the man at the office who knows a little bit about every topic under the sun? Certainly enough to carry on an intelligent conversation… without being a “know-it-all!”
“It was impossible to get a conversation going; everybody was talking too much.” Yogi Berra
Have you noticed the person with whom it seems everyone wants to talk to at a meeting or party? That person is either VERY FAMOUS or simply a good conversationalist. People simply enjoy engaging in conversation with them.
Here are 7 Success Habits for Mastering the Art of Conversation: Continue reading ‘The Art of Conversation–The How-To List’ »

Conversation is the way we express thoughts and feelings. It is also how we bring dreams and ideas into being. We first start with an idea, then we share the idea, then we brainstorm on how to bring the idea into fruition, and it then takes conversation… or communication… to make the idea into a product or service for others.
The art of conversation is a skill that successful people have mastered. Those who seem to effortlessly converse with others about a wide variety of topics are the ones tapped for executive and leadership positions both in the community and in business. Good conversational skills also assist in forming positive relationships as well as help strengthen existing relationships. Continue reading ‘The Art of Conversation’ »

– Coco Chanel
How true! With the economic uncertainty of the last few years, it seems that more people are calling for authenticity. Authenticity in business, government, community, relationships, etc. Continue reading ‘A Call for Authenticity’ »

Guess what? We all have the same 24 hours in a day. And the same 7 days in a week. And the same 365 days in one year.
So how do some people seem to be able to accomplish so much more in the same hours as the rest of us? By doing the “right things” at the “right time.” In other words, successful people know their High Value Activities as well as High Value and Low Value Time. They work on HVAs in productive slots and LVAs in less productive time slots.
There are literally hundreds of Success Habits. Let’s look at only a few: Continue reading ‘Success Habits… What Successful People Practice’ »
