Are You Managing Top-Down or Bottom-Up Or Both?
There are only three ways to manage your organization, department or branch – Top-down, Bottom-up or a combination.What is Top-down management?- Keeping decision making at the top of the organization- Setting goals, quotas and direction in the board room or at senior executive level- Having strategic planning meetings or events that includes only senior management- Motivating people with fear or incentives only- Not being willing to listen to lower level employees ideas, suggestions or feedback- Coaching and reviews are

What is your Fundraising Goal?
If you don’t know what you’re raising funds for or how much you want to raise how will you ever know if your campaign was a success? Just knowing what organization you’re trying to help isn’t enough either. Knowing you’re fundraising for the drama club or soccer team is better than nothing I suppose, but far better to know you’re fundraising to build the set for this year’s play or to send the kids to a weekend tournament. We have a model in NLP for goal setting, and I think you’ll find using it effective to target your fundraising efforts:1. State what you wa

Whilst family, friends and other easily identifiable contacts are a good place to start your networking efforts, sooner or later you will need to extend yourself beyond your familiar surroundings and look to attend relevant meetings and/or events.
In many ways, the type of meeting or event that you choose is not particularly important. If your hobby is old model trains, and someone advertises an ‘old model train meeting and exhibition’ you are obviously likely to meet lots of people who might become good network contacts. However, this is likely to be the exception rather than the rule.
In most cases, meetings or social gatherings of people will be much more general affairs and ones that can only be broadly ‘qualified’ for their possible relevance.

Step By Step Guide Of Handling Complaints
Customers are utmost important in business. Without customers, or loyal customers, businesses are next to non-existent. Even if customers are wrong, they are "always right" as they are the "kings" to one business. Loyal and satisfied customers normally will spread their experience to the friends, thus, promoting the business by “word of mouth”.How to tackle complaints or customers’ dissatisfaction in order to ensure that they will keep coming back to us?

Oil Change Customer from Hell or Hoax; You Decide
Evacuation, "E-Vac" Oil System for Oil ChangingHow do most mobile oil change companies remove the used motor oil from the crank case? Well they “Evacuate it” or in the industry we call it “E-VAC” and this means we suck it out of the dip stick tube with a thin tube which is pushed into the crankcase. Many wonder will this get all the oil out? The answer is not all the oil. In many cases there will be some oil left, not much, but 100% is difficult even using the oil plug on the bottom of the pan.Since it will not get all the oil out some consumers wonder; w

Strategic Communications - Don't Just Listen, Listen & Hear!
Almost every day we encounter an ad, a slogan, or some other communication that admonishes us to Listen! Entire ad campaigns have been built around a theme that tells the world that they listen to their customers. And I agree that listening is a very powerful way to connect with another person. That being said, I firmly believe that listening is only part of the power. The real power comes when we LISTEN & HEAR!Can you think of instances where you were talking with someone and they emphatically told you and assured you that they were listening? Then later y

Demise of the Lone Ranger Manager: A Lesson in Management Communication Style
When executives see themselves as solely responsible for the overall success of their enterprise, subordinates can hardly be blamed for acting according to predictions.Let's look at a familiar scene in classical American - if I may use the word - mythology.Panic and terror have brought all normal activity to a standstill in some pioneering settlement in the Wild West.

Start The Networking Adventure
The trick in networking (if there is one) is to treat all meetings or events as an adventure.
Like any adventure, you may have some fear and trepidation about facing the unexpected, but you should also feel some of the thrill of the challenge and excitement in finding new people with whom you can really connect. By making time in your schedule to attend, you can use early opportunities to watch others networking and to get into the habit of talking to the people you meet.
Don’t forget, networking successfully means that we sometimes have to stretch ourselves to the edges of our comfort zones – hard at first but much easier with practice.
