Sales Call-Killing Phrases
by Wendy Weiss
How often have you started a call to a friend, family member or business associate with the phrase, "How are you?" I'm willing to bet the answer is a lot. I know I say it frequently. It's commonly used as a greeting, as a "hello."
Because "How are you?" is so commonly used, how often have you started your introductory calls with this phrase? If you do use this phrase as an opening for your introductory call, please stop immediately. It's an introductory call-killer, and this is why: Read More>

Who's In Charge of Your Meeting?
by Craig Harrison
Do any of these things happen at your meetings?
* People arrive late
* People leave early
* Someone yells BINGO in mid-meeting
* People are unprepared
* A key person is absent
* Someone asks for a pencil or pen
* People mysteriously get paged midway through and leave in droves
Before you blame others it's entirely possible the fault resides with you, the caller of the meeting.

Finding Vision, Courage and Your Dreams
by Jerry Stein
As I was finishing a chapter on executive leadership and peak performance for my new book with Stephen Covey and Brian Tracy, I was asked to give a few examples of my clients’ success stories. The more I got into developing the list, the more I had to work at condensing their stories -- because we’re all unique, and it’s the behind-the-scenes details that are so fascinating.
Sure, I can rattle off a list of clients and describe their “before” and “after” situations, but that’s not the story that needs to be told. You see, a mere list misses the critical issues and full richness of the experiences these wonderful people faced during significant periods of their lives.
So what do people need as they face significant challenges or critical periods of growth in their lives? Well, I don’t think you can effectively separate personal and professional issues; as a professional coach, I look at how the person functions as a whole. In that light, I’ll share with you a brief overview of one of my clients’ stories, along with a few insights. Read More>

BOOK REVIEW
Moose on the Table
Author Jim Clemmer
Moose on the Table is an endearing book written by leadership consultant and author Jim Clemmer. This book is Jim’s first endeavor to teach principles and morals using a fictional approach. It is an established teaching principle that many people learn more effectively from an imaginary approach to instruction rather than the pedagogic method. Clemmer mentions early in the book, “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed studying and applying the timeless art of storytelling to allow you to be a fly-on-the-wall witness to many of the kinds of ineffective and effective conversations and actions I’ve seen during my twenty-five years in the personal, team and organizational-development fields.” Read More>
