Delivering Business Legacy, Lifestyle and Freedom

The Benefit of Honest and Timely Performance Appraisals

Communication

Staff can be the greatest asset in your business, but for any service based business – they typically will be the greatest expense – whether they are an asset or not.

Perhaps its my corporate background, my genuine desire to improve things (people and businesses), or it might simply just be my objective to see a larger number at the bottom line – but regardless of the driver, I have consistently found that well delivered performance appraisals work AND….that most small and medium businesses don’t do them.

Well performing and engaged staff are truely a great asset to any business. … Read More

Tailoring Your Business Communication for Success

Communication

Have you ever read a business note, perhaps an email or a letter and thought – huh, what’s that about…..as the tone or content of the note is as if its been written for someone else? Well perhaps it has!

It’s Never the Message, Always the Delivery: Secrets of Business Communication

Communication

How many times have you been given some news and reacted badly; triggering a sudden or violent reaction, not gaining an understanding or getting the full message?

In finance, most bad news revolves around loans – the words that most clients don’t want to hear from their Banker include;

  • No!
  • Declined. 
  • …there’s a problem….

These are of course simple words – nothing more, but we tend to attribute lots of meaning to them and often far more than the actual message intended. Equally the shorter the message, the less context comes with it – so our minds … Read More
