Meet Izzie…. my little “rescue” dog with a mighty wonder-lust for adventure.
Listen into my latest podcast (It’s just 3 minutes long) and find out what little Izzie taught me last night….
Then please share with me below ways you have found to get out of your own way….
Listen in to my crazy experience with cross-cultural communications and the use of nonverbal “jargon”…
If you do a lot of international business, it’s a good idea to study up on what is and isn’t acceptable in various countries and across different societies. Observe the local culture in different companies as well as varied countries. When in doubt — or if you don’t understand what you see — just ask. The answer might surprise you.
As the clock struck 12:40pm I walked into the salon. The young manager looked up at me and politely asked “how may I help you?”
“I have a 12:45pm appointment with Zack (a manager from another business branch who I was to coach), is he in yet?”
“No” she hadn’t seen him to which I replied “that’s ok I’m a few minutes early anyway”

Hitting a job interview out of the park takes a combination of things — a great resume, strong answers to questions and the right look. Sure, a good suit, smile with eye contact, firm handshake and a haircut help. But often overlooked is what your body language is saying and is it matching what your mouth is saying?
Shama recently unfollowed 16,100 people on Twitter and I applaud her for it. I have started to follow her unfollow lead…. Now, I’m not doing a mass dump of everyone like she did. However I have been in serious overwhelm trying to give attention to the over 5000 that I had been following – they are coming in at about 30 more before I’m done reading one. It really is a disservice to them and to me.
