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.
Soon you’ll get the opportunity to enjoy a very special time of year. Certainly the holidays are a great time to enjoy being with friends and family, but that’s not what I mean. I’m talking about that special time I like to call “Headstart Week.”
In this brief video, I discuss what Headstart Week is, why it’s so important, and what to do during it. I’ll also show you how you can join others in making a public commitment so that you plan for the new year and make it you best ever.
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.
