Putting thoughts into words and then organizing speech so that the words flow well is a very complex task for the human brain. It is amazing that we do not all stammer. No one understands why stammering occurs, but a lot of research is being done to find out. Stammering seldom occurs when a single word is being spoken or read, but it usually occurs at the beginning of a sentence or idea.

For some people, public speaking is an ordeal. Speaking in front of an internal team is bad enough and this gets even worse when they have to speak to an external audience. There is the great fear that some of these people know more than you. Knowing more is not the only qualification that is being considered in public speaking. Being a speaker means being a subject matter specialist on the topic you are to discuss with your audience, and the ability to bring it across to the audience.more...

As a result of my time in business, I have had many excellent examples of a character reference letter. A good character reference letter is priceless to some.

Every experience in life, everything with which we have come in contact in life, is a chisel which has been cutting away at our life statue, molding, modifying, shaping it. We are part of all we have met. Everyth... more...

What are the absolute ideal long distance phone providers? Well, who the heck knows? Things change too frequently for any of us to keep up with this. Today one company is offering one thing and then tomorrow some other company is offering something else. This is the way it goes, and believe me, it goes around and around like this forever.

"Just what do you think you're doing, Dave?" Those words, made famous by the artificially intelligent computer HAL 9000 in Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" resound in my ears every time I think about the topic of this week's article: virtual assistants. For those of you too young to recall, HAL was the artificially intelligent computer aboard Discovery in the film that attended to the myriad of details requiring oversight as the ship's crew mad... more...

In a survey of 40,000 Americans, 93% of them admitted to lying regularly at work. When members of an organization hide the truth from each other it sets the stage for distrust, lowered productivity, poor decisions and frustration. On the other hand, to quote a police investigator, "If you tell the truth too bluntly, you get your ass in trouble!"

He has loyal employees (of course, there aren't a lot of jobs elsewhere for elves these days). He has a promotions department that se... more...
