Image Management: Who Are You and What Do You Want?
If image is all about how great you look, it makes the job of image management so much easier! However, the truth is that even though in the first instant it is about how you look in terms of dressing and grooming, the rest is about your body language and words. In this article, I’m not about to coach you on body language and the words you use. I found that there is something more potent - your own integrity in how you deal with people, which affects your body language and choice of words.I once met a very, very successful business man who was a famous high end men’s fashion retailer in Toronto. He was givi

Boardroom Presentations: Sweat Like a Horse
Maybe you heard that horses sweat, men perspire and women glow. But in the boardroom everyone who presents sweats – some more than others. If you are in management or want to be, you will need to present in the boardroom. This is the worst place to present. First understand why it is that way. Then use these techniques to be more successful when you present in the boardroom.Beware of Boardroom LandminesCulture The boardroom is a place of punishment. It is where management and executives go to thrash the last bad quarter results and beat up somebody. Whoever presents today in the boardroom

If you read most of your daily news over feed readers or RSS aggregators, then skip this article and go do something else.

The reason why I am writing about RSS feeds, is because of how great I personally think this way of keeping your self on top of thing is. If you think that reading newspapers is the best way to get news, think again, you have to keep in mind that newspapers provide readers with news that are a day or at best a couple of hours late, so it's stale news by the time you read it.

In the US, some magazine publications have shrank there copy sizes dramatically, removing the news sections, simply because their readers know about the news before the publication hits the news stands. Now most publications provide their own take and opinions on those news articles instead of running the headlines, simply because it's a waste of ink, paper, and time.

I have been using feed aggregators for years now, and people tend to get a shock to see how updated I am when it comes to the latest news, I would surprise anyone when I start talking about the latest tech news, a day or two later they call me up telling me, "you're right, I have just read this in the newspaper".

You see man-kind is advancing in numerous ways, ways we never even dreamt of, take blogs and the way they have evolved, or listening to podcasts, and how much fun and informative they became. But I will address both on a later article, now let's focus on RSS.

RSS means Real Simple Syndicate, well that's one definition, it has a lot of meanings but simply it's information that come to you upon subscription, but what makes RSS unique? And how is it different from Ezines or emailed newsletters?

Ezines and newsletters are both delivered to your email account, and to be honest we tend to ignore them at times, because they are too long to read, we would waste hours going through heaps of information, so we tend to pile them up in our inbox, till we get fed up with there inbox-presence and decide to read them over the weekend, now this is old fashion, no one does that any more, or at least shouldn't do that any more, you see technology has advanced a great deal, and now getting informed is easier, and much more fun.

Enter RSS or news feeds, the major difference is the fact that instead of reading news off your email inbox, or typing a URL and going to a news website, you get the news to your aggregator of feed catcher software, once you subscribe to a feed the site will send the latest news to your aggregator software, you can select the length of the news feed, so that you can read a summary of the news, instead of having to read the whole thing, time is money, and this is especially true these days.

Let's say you subscribed to a news site, you fire-up your aggregator, it will grab all the latest unread feeds on that news site, after going through them, the aggregator will remove them, and refresh to update your feeds with new news.

No time wasted, and you got what you wanted thanks to XML technology, what can be better then that, well aggregators come in different types and forms, there are the free ones all over the net and of course there is the paid subscriptions, but to round them up, aggregators fall under four major types.

Online aggregators:

Thanks to the advancement of what is known as Web 2.0, you get online software like Gmail, Flickr, Digg, the new Yahoo home-page, or even an online aggregator, most of these aggregators are free to subscribe to, they work efficiently, my personal favorites are Bloglines, and Newsgator.

Aggregator Notifiers:

These are small simple softwares that you download to your machine, they will notify you with a popup with whatever news hits your subscription, you can download them after joining an online aggregator and they will sync with the aggregator's server, to check on new feeds.

Who's Running Your Business?
Recently I took my son Trent to purchase more school uniform items. He's a growing (very fast) 13 year old, and it was time for more clothing. When the school pants no longer drag on the ground and the hem barely reaches his ankles you know it is time.Anyhow we went to a school uniform shop nearby which we hadn't previously been to. Trent insisted we go there as they apparently stocked the longer sports shorts he wanted and the usual place we went to didn't have them.Well what an experience it was. Firstly the shop was in a time warp. They had probably been there for decades and nothing internall
