Let's say you have been tapped to bring a "best practice" to the employees of an organization. You may be helping your colleagues improve their performance, or you may be an outside contractor brought in to produce a valued change.
You have to put together some tools for communicating the best practice so that it takes root in the organization. Perhaps you plan a meeting, an online course, develop a procedure guide, create a seminar . . . whatever works for your audience and your topic.
This is important to the organization, so you have to do it right. That's why you rely on colleagues, and even perhaps some outside help, for help you wherever your skills (or time and resources) aren't enough to ensure success. Who is on your team? Take a moment and write down the name and phone number or e-mail of the first person or resource you will contact:
for technical help. If you need to construct web pages, or project a presentation from a laptop, or wrestle with any kind of software and hardware to get the job done, who will help you?
for content details. Who are the experts on the best practice, who did the research, who developed the product, who can give you the specific, accurate information you need to support your efforts?
for guidance on procedures and standards. Who can deal with human resources guidelines, quality assurance, compliance, standard procedures, appropriate channels?

Seeking A New Job While Currently Employed : Tiptoeing Through the Minefield
So, you currently have a job but you are looking for something a little better. You are getting tired, uptight, and maybe just a little stressed out. This is a dangerous time – the time when job seekers can turn into wing nuts and make key mistakes. So, how do you avoid tripping over those pesky landmines, you know - your current boss, workmates, and customers - and still carry out an effective job search?Here are some of the risky situat

I'll go out on a limb and predict it was a lot easier for you to come up with the first three contact numbers than it was for the fourth one. In a way, this is understandable. We all communicate, all day, so sometimes it's hard to see when we need expert help. But most of us drive cars, yet wouldn't dream of entering the Indianapolis 500. Most of us can swim and run, if we have to, but we aren't going to win any medals at it. If the company saw benefits from fast driving or swimming or running, they would apply a professional touch to those activities, even though nearly all of their employees can do all of those things satisfactorily for everyday purposes.
