Recently, I worked with lynda.com to develop a new series of courses designed to help you improve your career, job security and productivity. In the recently released course, Developing Your Business Savvy, I share why your understanding of your customers is absolutely critical to your career success.
In this brief sample video I lay out the five reasons customers are really the boss, and give you some ideas you can use to become more customer savvy.
Got a pile of seminar notes somewhere? You know what I mean…page after page of detailed scribbles that you have told yourself “someday” you’re going to review. How often have you truly been able to read through those notes, let alone do something about them?
In this brief video, you’ll learn the four simple steps you can take to actually get value from your note taking and, more importantly, get lasting results that benefit your life and your career.
Just this week I came back from Accra, Ghana, where I was asked to speak at the African Business Leaders Forum. It was an amazing experience, not just from a cultural perspective, but from a business and networking one, as well.
As I thought about what I might share with you from this experience, four tips for successful business networking came to mind. In this brief video, I’ll share four things I did that you can use to improve your own networking and connecting skills.
Are distractions at work destroying your productivity? Consider these questions:
- How many times would you guess you’re being interrupted in an average hour?
- What would you say is the most common source of those interruptions?
In this brief video, I talk about the number one most common cause of workplace distraction and a simple system you can use to take control of it.
Got enough meetings on your schedule? What if someone walked through your door, right now, and told you they want to have another company meeting. How would you feel? More important, what would you DO?
In this brief video, I share the four vital questions you should ask before you schedule another meeting. This will help you determine whether another meeting is necessary–or not.
Incidentally, you can get instant, full access to the entire Effective Meetings course on lynda.com–free for seven days–if you go to http://www.DaveCrenshaw.com/free.
