Corporate Events That Do Double Duty
Recently, a teacher whose class regularly scores top marks shared her secret for team building success with me. "It's easy," she told me. "Each week, we set a goal as a class.

Today I've decided to share with you a new word that recently made a special appearance in my daily life: eponym. It is pronounced (EP-uh-nim) and I have to be frank, but I was somewhat at a loss when I saw it.

I mean, I write, communicate and persuade using words for a living…but this one had obviously been hiding somewhere far away because although I could pronounce it, I could not recall its meaning.

So I grabbed my dictionary… then I realized that I now reside in the 21st Century… so I put down the book and I went on to the ‘Net’ instead. I found the definition (actually I found a few versions) and then settled on the one I’ve included below.

--- In A Word

One way that we use the word "eponym" (EP-uh-nim) is in reference to a specific brand name that has come to mean a generic product. Examples:

Jacuzzi = whirlpool bath
Band-Aid = plastic bandage
Chapstick = lip balm
Jell-O = gelatine dessert
Kleenex = facial tissue
Q-Tips = cotton swabs
Scotch Tape = cellophane tape
Styrofoam = plastic foam
Teflon = non-stick coating
Vaseline = petroleum jelly
Walkman = portable cassette player
Xerox = photocopier/photocopy

People Like Change
I’ve often heard it said that People Don’t Like Change.But is this really true? If it were true, wouldn’t we still be hunter gatherers, eking out a nomadic existence?I think this whole idea that people are fundamentally change resistant is a misunderstanding. It comes from dealing with people who feel scared and disempowered. Change managers call them “Low Influence, High Interest” stakeholders. These are the people who are likely to be signifi

--- Too Much Of A Good Thing

If you were the lucky/unlucky manufacturer of 'band-aids' you'd now be in the unfortunate position of seeing your brand lose most of its value because it has passed into the vocabulary of the buying public as a GENERAL term.

Your product which you worked so hard to promote... has lost all its specificity. In other words, your product branding is now helping the competition sell there alternate 'band-aid like' products.

--- Brand Life Cycles

You’ve probably heard me say that for most of us (probably 80% or more) we need to focus on selling not brand building. Sure branding is a great add-on if you can do it, but you have got to have deep pockets to pull it off successfully. And you’ve have to be very, very, very patient.

Assuming that you create the next super brand, and your product takes on a life of its own, there will be that first glory phase when your products name will be uniquely linked to you, your product and the benefits and value it provides.

It is an imperative community issue because adolescence are competent of performing brutal crimes however, humanity must also distinguish that liability for childish behaviour goes past the youth themselves. It could also be defined as violent or non-violent crime committed by persons who are regularly or under the age of eighteen.
