EXECUTIVE COACH AND CAREER FACILITATOR LEARNS MORE TO ENHANCE CORPORATE TRAINING SEMINARS
When you read the newspaper, it is amazing the kinds of programs that you discover are going on around you. Last week, I went to Clark College and heard a lecture given by Jeff Wigand, the whistle-blower on the tobacco industry. No Cost.
Wow, and I thought I have had challenges in my life. Not only did I learn "why" smoking is so bad for your health, I learned what it takes to be a whistle-blower and the sacrifices that are made by
the individual.
Mr. Wigand was a great reminder, that, often,
the other side of the mountain is the space with the greatest rewards.
BUSINESS COMMUNICATION TIP:
When traveling to a major airport and you have
a long delay, look for a hotel attached to the
airport. Great place to have a quiet meal. I have also found that the restrooms are very clean and
lack crowds.

a postive way to start your week.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND CAREER FACILITATOR BACK ON TRACK LEARNING
It feels so good to be back into my learning mode. Last week I attended an early morning breakfast put on by the Portland State University. Three CEOS shared their experience working through "change" in an organization. The key, of course, was how people were communicated with through the process.
A recent survey illustrated the need for "soft skills" has resurfaced as crucial for today's workforce. Example: How do you communicate what you mean by "culture" and "leadership" so everyone is on the page? Certainly, has gotten me thinking about how I would explain these two words---not easy!
BUSINESS COMMUNICATION TIP:
Buy 31 identical folders. Number 1-31 for
each day of the month. When you have tickets
or invitations, put them in the appropriate folder.
You will always know where they are at any given
time.
