    Creating the Right Atmosphere for Negotiating Differences
    Conflict resolution is one of the most important skills needed in the 21st Century. Think how often you need to negotiate with people, even on the weekends. For example, on Saturday I started out negotiating with my husband whether or not to go for a run or a walk. We settled on a run/walk. Then we stopped into a garage sale to buy a coffee maker. We dickered a bit over the price. Later, my assistant wanted to change the day she came into work. Th

    8. To deliver a good presentation you really need to know your subject matter. Make sure you have done your research and know what you're talking about. You will then find it easy to deliver the presentation. It also helps if you enjoy your subject matter. Sometimes this is not easy if it is a presentation that you have been forced to do, but if you make it enjoyable you'll be more enthusiastic.

    What To Do When Your Boss Is a Butthead
    I've never worked for a boss I didn't like or respect.  Sure, some were better than others, but I never considered quitting my job because of a bad boss.  Unfortunately, many employees aren't so lucky. If your boss is a total butthead, someone you'll never get along with, admire or respect no matter how hard you try, there are a few things you can do. Wait.  Is your boss close to retirement or promotion--or even be
    1. There are many people who are scared of public speaking. In my opinion you need to prepare fully for the presentation or speech. Make sure you know what you're going to say well in advance. You should never "wing it" and believe that something useful will come out of your mouth! Normally it doesn't unless you're very confident.

    2. Print out your speech or presentation and write notes beforehand. If you are giving a presentation then write notes alongside the slide pictures. Don't write too much though or you'll get confused and lose track. Just make some brief bullet points that you can follow and refer back to during the presentation.

    3. Practice, practice, practice in front of whoever you can: the dog, cat, the mirror or your spouse (if you have the nerve). This may seem quite daunting and sometimes giving the presentation or speech in front of one person at home is worse than a room full of people. But it will give you more confidence.

    4. Join a Network Marketing company to increase your chances to give a presentation. When you join a company you are given the opportunity to present in front just a few people at first, then the audience size will increase as will your confidence. This may seem scary but you need to confront your fear to eliminate it.

    5. Ask for positive feedback or constructive criticism during your preparation. Remember, whatever the feedback, don't take it personally. This feedback is for your benefit to perfect your speech. The more feedback you can get about the speech itself or the way you are delivering it then the better you will be on the day.

    6. Punctuality is key. Turn up early for the presentation. Don't turn up 5 minutes before or even worse, don't turn up late! You will get very flustered and this will increase the nerves that you might be feeling. This will come across in the presentation to the audience too.

    7. To get you through the presentation imagine the audience is naked! This thought has kept me amused throughout a lot of my presentations that I have given! Also remember that the audience has come along to hear what you have to say. They are not sitting waiting for you to slip up or to make a mistake. So think positively and enjoy yourself! The audience won't know if you're nervous, they won't be able to see your hands shaking!

    Support not Reports – A new way to think about Management Information.
    It’s often said that you can’t manage what you don’t measure – one of the most important parts about business is monitoring your organisation’s performance. Traditionally this is done via a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s). These usually support the organisations strategy or targets – for example if your business has a target of customer satisfaction you may have a KPI to have less than 1% customer returns made.Too often, however

    According to a Pitney Bowes study, the average corporate executive receives upwards of 375 calls, voicemails, e-mails, faxes and letters each day.

    9. Get a mentor to help with your presentation skills. Again you could join a Network Marketing company. They have mentors with many years of experience of presenting to huge audiences, sometimes even thousands. They will be very open to helping you to improve your skills. I have had a lot of free training during my time in a network marketing company and this has helped me to overcome my fear.
