  • Dull, boring, referral

    The author emphasizes the importance of being specific and clear during presentations, despite being perceived as boring. In distracting environments, only parts of the message resonate with the audience. Consistent messaging is vital for business success, as it ensures clarity and enhances listener engagement, ultimately leading to valuable opportunities.

  • Top of mind

    We all have a purpose in whatever we choose to pursue. If you haven’t questioned or identified your purpose lately, now might be the time to reflect and quietly reaffirm your passion, the path to success you may be following, the goal you are looking to reach.

  • Giving more

    As ever, piped music played as I once more visited our local ‘convenience store.’ ‘Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing, Baby’ declared Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. I smiled and thought it was more than a coincidence, as I’d been nominated by the ‘chief cook and bottle washer’ to pick up ‘real butter.’ I had no idea why…

  • Make it easy

    How do I do that? I recently enjoyed a conversation with an old friend, an electronics engineer whom I hadn’t seen for a couple of years.

  • Going off-piste

    Building relationships online is the same as in any other community. How your audience comes to see and know you through the messages we’re delivering. Getting to know you, that’s important. Often, I see people enjoying our morning business meeting, introducing themselves through networking, looking to deliver the message of what they’re looking for, and…

  • Wriggle room, please

    ‘That’s typical.’ I said, talking to myself as I peered out of the kitchen window into a gloomy sky. Today’s public holiday, Sunday looks set to be a wet occasion. So Plan A is a no-go, and it’s time to adapt and play it by ear, ‘dog duty’ is always first-up whatever the weather, but the…

  • Is it me?

    “Hey, the world is moving so fast!” Did I open with this line during my last post?  Often I find myself ‘checking in’ during self-reflection, I’m confirming whether the direction I’m headed qualifies whether or not I am still relevant. Make sense? Many (if not all) of us working for ourselves in a remote environment…
