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.
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.
