Eliminate Painful MeetingsI remember being interviewed by a writer for an article about effective meetings that was to appear in a national magazine. The writer began the interview by saying, “I don’t want any of the old standard tips; I want new tips.”I replied, “Well, people wouldn’t need new tips if they used the old tips.” This isn’t what the writer wanted to hear, nor is this what many of us want to hear, but this is the truth. If we used what we already know, we could avoid a lot of problems -- including unproductive meetings.Have you ever sat through a meeting only to realize that the real issues were being discussed outside the meetin

The Fuss about Non-Disclosure-Agreements(NDA)Suppose you have a technology company and a technology (which may be a trade secret or in the stage of patenting), you need to meet an investor (whether it’s a venture capitalist or business angel).

I will discuss the possible situations where it may be or may not be appropriate to use it and provide a template for those in Singapore who might need it.In short, A

Corporate America vs. Work/Life BalanceMany businesses are finding it increasingly difficult to motivate, encourage, retain and recruit their staff, while optimizing productivity. One of the keys to satisfied and efficient employees is work/life balance.
Due to societal changes, business culture, and employer expectations, personal time has decreased, and work time has seeped into personal time. Lunch time, which once was a relaxing diversion from work, has become a “Rush’N’Chow” experience, often in a cubicle.
