For many people the mere thought of giving a presentation fills them with fear. This article sets out some hints and tips to make it a success.PlanningIt seems really obvious when someone says you need to plan your presentation. Often however this is an area that is skimmed over. How long? As a general rule, I suggest that you take the time allocated for the presentation time and multiply it by 3 to give you an indicative time for your planning.StructureIf you are going to get your message across you need structure. One of the best tips I ever received was to think of th

Many have complained of the Government’s procurement process for research proposals. It is totally flawed. Instead of giving bids to entrepreneurs who know how to get things done on the fly, they so often give the grants to the best paperwork pushers. Teams of grant writers from Universities and Corporations sit down and fill out forms and make enticing proposal fluff out of what appears to be mundane subject matter. The fact is many of the research projects are far from mundane; many have the potential to hyperspace the human race forward in a single discovery. Once the proposal is won or lost the gran
I know there are lots of changes going on and my daughter is going to react, but I need some support on another issue. She asked this morning if her friend could come over after school (chores had been done) so I said yes, but asked her to please call me and let me know if her friend was coming or not this afternoon (it was kinda up in the air awaiting approval from the other child's parents).
My daughter called, as I requested, but left a voice mail on my work phone saying this: "Hi Mom, Mallory is coming over, I hate you, Goodbye." This for some reason annoys me to no end. I have no idea why, but I'm both infuriated and want to cry. Do I address it or not ... and if so, how?
ANSWER:
When your daughter says, “I hate you,” what she means is “I hate some of the things you say and do.”
Your daughter obviously knows that she can get a reaction out of you when she pushes your “I hate you” button (which is, in reality, a “rejection” button). Ignoring misbehavior is an over-rated parenting strategy, but in this case, I would totally ignore it. Here’s why:
As long as she knows you will react strongly to her sarcasm, she will continue to use it as a way to get your energy and intensity. If you ignore her sarcasm (i.e., “act as if” it doesn’t bother you), then she will no longer get any kind of “payoff” and will eventually stop saying these things.
If she were saying “F___ you”, or calling you a “B____”, or any other more inappropriate comments, that would need a consequence.
QUESTION:
My situation is this...
We live in rural small town USA. My son doesn't have neighborhood friends that he hangs out with. He comes home everyday from school, eats a bunch of food and goes to his room to read or nap or whatever to keep away from the family. And if he is out with the family, he is bossing everyone around, bullying his little sister, etc. It's a real treat, let me tell ya.

When it comes to expanding your business overseas, franchising has become the Modus Operandi of the day. In Singapore, many businesses including restaurants, caf? chains and fashion chains have shown interest in and considered setting up overseas franchises. It makes sense financially for them in the sense that the franchisor (the business owner that grants the franchise) can charge an initial fee to the overseas franchisee (the person who takes the franchise). Franchising in effect provides an almost cost-free expansion since the original business receives royalties and a constant stream of income from

Have you ever asked yourself; does anyone have in the integrity left? Well, have you consider that our society no longer values integrity like it use to. Instead we seem to value the liars, cheaters, thieves and excuse makers. What ever happened to integrity and doing what you say you are going to do? What ever happened to the handshake deal and knowing that the other person would honor their commitments and promises?It seems that something has gone terribly wrong in the United States of America with regard to integrity levels. We have college students cheating on papers to get their degrees

There are several reasons why consultants ultimately lose deals they should have won. Unless your portfolio is poor, consultants lose contracts because they either didnt listen or they didnt speak effectively to convey what services they could offer, that would help the client reach their goals. Here are a few tips to help you sell your services.Every consultant feels that if there is anything that they do well, its talking the talk. Effective speaking is more of an art than a science. If you cant effectively convey how your services are going to help the client, you wont get the contract.

Contact lenses have caught the fancy of youth like anything and seem determined to keep their success rate up for ever. Born as vision correction devices, they have traversed a checkered path to become fashion accessories of the modern times. They are so good at changing your looks that you suddenly appear metamorphosed into someone you are definitely not.A lens gives a certain kind of look to one face and an altogether different look to another. One is left wondering where does the look come from- from the lens, from the face or from the interaction of both. Actually, the difference lies in the

ANSWER:
You can always find leverage (i.e., some privilege or material item to withhold as a consequence).
I currently have a parent in my parent group whose situation is similar to yours. She said, "My son doesn't go anywhere or do anything -- I've got nothing to take away and there's no sense in grounding him because he's a home-body."
I asked what he does with his time. She said he just goes to his room and naps. Ahhhhh! Then she really does have something she can use as a bargaining tool. Coming home and napping is a privilege -- not a right. She doesn't run a flop-house.
Anyway, now she sees to it that her son does not have access to his room whenever he needs a consequence -- that's right -- she took away his room. Get it?
My recommendation would be to ground him FROM his room -- not TO his room -- for one 24-hour day (with the exception being he can sleep in there at night). The 24-hour discipline does not start until he calms down (if he is having a temper tantrum). If he mistreats anyone during that 24-hour period, merely re-start the 24 hours.
I know this will be difficult, but you can do it. I've got faith in you.
QUESTION:
My daughter has arranged one week's work experience at a local police station. She is actually considering becoming a police constable or studying criminology or social work. But right now she can be defiant. Could this be dangerous for her?
