Business Etiquette - Class versus Crass 2007-10-03 21:34:00 Remember growing up how your mom reminded you to wash your face, brush your teeth and say ‘thank you’? I think we still need to be reminded ever so often because every day etiquette which is an integral part of the business world appears to be murky and a bit convoluted.During my days in media sales when I first arrived in Miami I dressed head to toe in black, with pearls and pantyhose in 95 degree weather. And while the sweat rolled down the side of my face and down my back causing me to itch, I maintained a smile on my face even when the Account Director of Ogilvy & Mather came out of her office to fetch me for our Kodak presentation wearing a white tube top with no bra, stilettos and tight Brazilian low-rise jeans. I remained stunned as I marched behind her struggling with media kits and briefcase in hand unable to stop staring at the crack of her ass. Despite this lack of professionalism I proceeded to pitch the Kodak client on a multi year media deal though his interest la ...

How to Influence People 2007-10-03 19:29:00 You might always feel that the world and the people in it are out to get you in one way or another. What you might not understand is that how people respond to you and do what you want them to is part of their perspective. If you change their perspective you can lead people down the path of helping you instead of being a hindrance to you. How you do this takes a certain amount of insight and charisma. You can’t simply go up to a person and demand them to fulfill your objectives to the letter. People have their own minds and prefer to do things because they are motivated to do so. They must first want to do something for you. To get someone to want to do something for you requires that you lead them to that perspective without them knowing about it. They must willfully choose to want to help you without you saying it explicitly. People won’t sell their sole for all the money in the world but they will sell it for a cheap honor. This means that people will do something for you and wo ...

When you deserve more? 2007-10-02 22:35:00 There comes a time in just about every place you work that you deserve more then what the company is paying. All too often employers would rather lose an employee then pay them more. This often happens in cases where there is no other position to promote the person or the immediate manager doesn’t respect the person. It is up to the employee to prove that they are worth more and not the employer.

This active group will be spreading out to interesting places like Florida and Arizona. The new generation, or Generation X, has a whole different concept of work that is much more flexible then the old models the Baby Boomers worked under. Employers will have to change their working models if they plan on recruiting the best talent. Generation X grew up in a time that single mothers were the norm; companies were declining and unlikely to give youngsters a chance, were losing jobs due to globalization and an international situation that was defined war.
