Casual Articles - Positioning Yourself for Success through Introductions
The job market for college graduates is said to be at its best right now. However, the average salary isn’t as promising if you fall within the majority of graduates, even with the vast amount of jobs available. And, if you had to take out student loans to pay for education, the amount of money you make at a new entry level job isn’t comparable to what you owe student loan companies for your education.In a recent article from USNews.com, “America’s Best Colleges 2007,” at least fifty percent of college students in the U.S. receive a Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts. Some of the most popular majors fall under Liberal Arts: English, Pu

1. Everyone Makes A Difference – Despite not letting him play in their games, the other reindeer came to understand Rudolph’s importance. Look for the talents in each of your employees.2.

Introducing yourself
Every professional belongs to a networking group where they stand and introduce themselves. Instead of using the same “speech” every meeting, create several 30-second introductions, also known as the “elevator speech” tailored to the group. For example, if you sell insurance and you are introducing yourself at the “Classic Car Club”, then your introduction should mention that you insure classic cars. If you are a banker and you are in front of small business owners, mention the SBA loans you have available. In other words, find out something specific about the group and how you can serve them, and make that evident in your introduction.
A common mistake is stage hogging. It’s ok to make a statement about an upcoming event but it shouldn’t take up more than a few extra seconds. If you have several announcements, spare the details and bring along brochures or flyers. Let the group know that they can get more information after the meeting. Or, ask the emcee to make the announcements before introductions begin.

What do creativity managers do?Replace the word management with the word optimisation.That's what creativity managers do: they optimise the quality of the idea pool (creativity) and the implementation process (innovation).There are many methods of optimisation and the creativity leader must be aware of all of them, in other words, he or she must synthesise them for optimal effect.Areas [within creativity] that need managing include motivation, organisational culture, organisational structure, incremental versus radical effects and processes, knowledge mix, group structures, goals, process and valuation.

Just recently I was asked to do a talk for my good friend and co-author of our best-selling book in Singapore titled Get Rich Now: 15 Strategies from a Self-made Millionaire, Dr Dennis Wee. (Dr Wee is one of Singapore’s most celebrated entrepreneurs. Despite not having completed his high school education, he managed to start and build up his own real estate company, Dennis Wee Group, to become of Singapore’s leading real estate companies generating S$3.8 billion worth of sales in 2006.)He wanted me to share some marketing secrets with his real estate agents and I was more than happy to do so because I believe there’s so

Introducing your guest
Don’t leave it to chance when you bring a guest. There is no better opportunity for a guest to shine than when you strategically formulate an introduction showcasing her talents. For example, I invited my friend Stacy B. as a guest to a business club in which I belong. The members in this organization are business owners and decision makers who can use Stacy’s product, or are in a position to refer Stacy to other businesses.
Rather than randomly introducing Stacy and reciting the name of her company, I specifically mentioned that last May Stacy lost her home in the tornado that destroyed her community and from that experience she created two businesses to protect business owners and home owners. his statement gained the immediate attention of the group and gave them an anchor to remember her by.
Then I strategically mentioned the name of her business and explained that she “databases” the contents of your home or business so that you are protected before the theft, fire or storm.
Then to add some validation, I mentioned that Stacy’s business had been recently highlighted on the local news channel and in a regional magazine, which added to Stacy’s credibility. Mentioning this magazine that is read by most everyone in the audience will have people noticing and remembering her information well after the meeting, or perhaps looking up the information later.
Add to the fact that it was the month of April (tornado season) and the fact that many of the professionals in the audience were insurance professionals, CPA’s and other business owners, Stacy had se
