Casual Articles - You, Too, Can Drive Anyone Crazy
In this the fourth and final part of articles about how to obtain the best service from your contract cleaner I look at the remaining three questions. These three can to some degree all be grouped and considered together. Are your staff fully trained in appropriate Health and Safety practices? Can this be verified? Can your staff speak and understand English? Will your staff be able to understand written instructions? In part 1 of this series I referred to the survey of the top 150 UK wide cleaning firms and I shall do so again. From this survey it transpired that over 60% of the people employed as cleaners by these firms were of non-UK origin and of these 68% could not speak or understand English to a satisfactory level. The remaining 38% of cleaners were British born but unfortunately a massi

OK. You've posted your resume online. You've sent out a dozen copies answering classified ads. You've told everyone in your network that you're looking for a job.And nothing has happened.Now what?Since 1996, I've written/edited resumes for nearly 3,000 clients and refunded less than 3% of them for lack of results. Based on this experience, here are four ways for you to troubleshoot -- and improve -- an unsuccessful job search.1) Is your resume focused?Your resume can't be all things to all people. Make sure yours has one main focus, such as sales or computer programming. Every word in your resume should contribute to that single focus you've chosen. If you try to go in too many directions, your resume won't appeal to anyone.2) Is your resume error-free?You've heard this 100 times, so let's make
SLIPPERY SPEAK: THAT MAY BE WHAT YOU HEARD, BUT…
“That may be what you heard, I can’t argue with that, but that’s not what I said!” is slippery speak. “BUT I didn’t mean to…!” is another way to turn off a team or family member fast. Chilly, too, is “NOW that’s how it’s always been done around here!” Or, “There you go again pointing the finger of blame at my team!” And what about, “I don’t do IT all the time!”
ME-TYPE TALK
Take a listen and you will hear more “ME”-TYPE TALK excuses below. Have some fun relief…and listen for any of these excuses you hear yourself or others use today in the workplace or home space. Just add these to the “99 Ways to Turn People off Cold (Without Really Trying)” you got a chuckle from previously.

2. I know I avoid situations that make me uncomfortable.
3. I didn’t do it deliberately!
4. People act busier than they are!

What does the Ptolemaic theory have to do with the aggressive advertising that is created with the purpose of stealing market share? As it turns out, a great deal.Ptolemy created the first working model of the universe. Based on his brilliant model, the ancient Greeks were able to predict with amazing accuracy the precise dates and times of both solar and lunar eclipses, map the heavens, and predict the locations of constellations. This was highly advanced for ancient Greece. His model of the universe remained a cornerstone in astronomy for thousands of years. When the retrograde orbit of Mars was noted (a planet that is retrograde appears to move backwards in the sky), a small modification to the theory predicted the movement quite well. However, we will get back to Ptolemy in a moment.Success Leaves Clues

“Life is a movie and you’re the star, give it a happy ending.” Joan Rivers the actress and comedienne said that and it really applies to dealing with and coping with change in your organization and life. I learned about this as a Marine sniper in the jungles of Vietnam. I might have found myself there as part of the United States Marine Corp but what I made of the experience was up to me. It is serving me to this day.When you are leading or managing change the people under your charge will have varying reactions to the changes taking place. Few will embrace it out of the blocks, many will struggle. You can help. As popular speaker Larry Winget says, “Shut up, stop whining and get a life!”The very first thing you must help people do, in a kind, yet straightforward way, is to help them go home and look in the mirror.
