One of the things you do—especially if you’re a business owner or senior level leader—is to tell stories. Not just any story.

Five Ways to Make Meetings Better by Phil Gerbyshak - Sep, 2009 Recently I spent a few minutes with Anita Bruzzese, talking about how to make meetings better. I’d encourage you to check out Anita’s article as I’m not the only one who offered insights into how to make meetings better.

I spend over 25% of my work life in my meetings, and I’ve been to more than my share of good (and ... |

The Art of Change by Nan S. Russell - Sep, 2009 From the iron age to nearly the industrial age, blacksmiths prospered. Villagers needed plows, shovels, iron tires for wagons, nails and tools to build their homes, all of which the blacksmiths forged. They needed their horses and oxen shod and their tools repaired. Being a blacksmith was a sound professional choice. Yet despite flourishing for centuries, this vital profession was all but eliminated in a few generations. W... |
