I recently heard a friend of mine had lost alot of money and was turning into a nightmare. He had run to an affair, he began to hit every transaction he did on his credit card with a charge back, he was running to and fro doing anything to save himself. Sadly, the same ethics he was using to recover from his bad situation were the same ethics he used in building his business. My heart bleeds for him because this is not the man I knew as friend.

Sometimes it is hard to communicate your feelings without becoming angry or even a little aggressive especially when you feel that others are disregarding your point of view and not taking account of your feelings or opinion. It is important to understand and control how you react to situations of conflict. Sometimes individuals who want to avoid conflict at all costs will become passive and quickly back down from the position they hold or else will not discuss certain subjects with colleagues or line managers. Other members of the team may find it difficult to communicate their ideas and therefore react very negatively when certain subjects arise and use destructive, even aggressive and humiliating tactics to ensure that their needs and requirements are always met over and above those working with them. Issues such as these ultimately affect the management team and the effectiveness of the organisation!

You want to grow your career or your business. You know that networking is the best way to connect with the people who will help you move ahead. You know you should look forward to networking events.

What you know does not help you prepare for the dread you feel as you get ready for another networking event. It’s hard just to remember the names, much less to make your pitch and identify real opportunities. You always end up feeling like you talked too much or too little.

We need to speak the language of our prospects. That particular thinking goes far beyond verbiage alone, it must include an understanding of their very philosophy and beliefs. We must get inside their heads to effectively understand what drives them.

It is only after examining our prospects and customers at such a level that we can effectively communicate with them and interest them in our message. If we present a great message that misses the mark because we selected the wrong audience, we will have failed in that effort.
