Zig Ziglar—motivational speaker and success guru—calls it stinkin’ thinkin’. I just call them sorry-a__ excuses for being lazy or short-sighted. Have I used them? Of course! I’m human. I believe, however, that those for whom I’ve had the privilege of leading over the past decade will confirm that I catch and challenge myself, and others, to get past these thoughts and think beyond conformity and “the past”. . In this program we will: (1) Reveal some of the phrases that get in our way; (2) Examine reasons why we say or think “Always/never that way” and why such thinking is harmful for ourselves and our organizations; (3) Hear stories of such thinking in action, to illustrate the above points; (4) Accept the challenge to overcome our “but it’s…” thoughts to think beyond conformity and the past. .

Improve Your Sales and Customer Service ResultsAre you "in sales" or "in customer service"? (Hint: The answer is "yes" for anyone reading this.) Whether you outright exchange a product or service for money or not, you sell yourself and serve others when you interact with people. Most of us interact with SOMEONE at some time! When we do, how we LISTEN is as important as how and what we say. This session defines "active listening", explains the importance of acquiring and practicing active listening skills, and identifies specific behaviors that represent what we call "active listening skills".00:30:00SylviaHnobusiness professional,communication,sales,customer service,success motivationAre you "in sales" or "in customer service"?

If you ride a bicycle you are sure to take a spill at some point in time when you ride long enough. Falling is a rite of passage; so is getting back up and on with the ride. In life, dropping your bike is a metaphor for encountering tough times; experiencing down-turns. How you pick yourself up and move forward through difficulties depends on factors learned, natural to you, and nurtured within you. A motorcyclist resorts to the basics of riding protocol to pick up a heavy bike and get back to the ride. In this session we examine the basics of interpersonal skills we employ to pick ourselves up and move through our heavy loads to get to our destinations, whether a job, career, goal, business, relationship, or other aspect of life.00:30:00SylviaHnobusiness professional,interpersonal skills,resilience,motivation,successIf you ride a motorcycle you will drop your bike at least once during your riding experience through the years.

In this segment Sylvia provides tips for lessening the chance that you are the first one picked to receive a "pink slip", otherwise known as layoff, downsizing, rightsizing, reorganizing, and other such terms. While there are no guarantees of keeping a job, there are ways to ensure and communicate your value to the organization as much as possible.

The workplace; school; volunteer opportunity; or other environment where we work with more than ourselves requires a modicum of acceptable interpersonal social behavior. Defining “acceptable behavior” and determining whether we want to practice it are our challenges. We’re not talking about the complexities of productive teamwork here. We’re talking just getting along with others with whom we must spend time. In this success segment we will: (a.)Define “civil/ity”, “right”, “correctness”, and “appropriate behavior”, (b.) Determine the importance of being civil and practicing appropriate social behaviors, and (c.) Identify specific behaviors that eliminate—or at least minimize—contentiousness in environments where people must work, learn, play, volunteer, pray, and otherwise be together…not necessarily having picked each other’s company by choice.00:30:00SylviaHnobusiness,communication,civility,motivation,success"In the ‘olden days’ people used to show RESPECT!” “We don’t have to invite each other home for dinner; we just need to be CIVIL around here.” Do either of theshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thinkaboutit/2009/01/19/regular-weekly-broadcast-of-think-about-itBusinesshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thinkaboutit/2009/01/19/regular-weekly-broadcast-of-think-about-it/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thinkaboutit/2009/01/19/regular-weekly-broadcast-of-think-about-itMon, 19 Jan 2009 15:00:00 GMTExcellent Customer Service: Give It. Get It?Excellent customer service has become a common phrase repeatedly ignored. When business is good it is usually due to a combination of a business earning a reputation for offering a quality product or service, good customer service, and positive external economic factors. When business is bad it is more imperative than ever to maintain—and up the ante with—excellent customer service. Businesses that (and employees who) do so survive tough times and position themselves to thrive when “times are good again”. In this session we: (1) Define “customer”, “service”, and “excellence”, (2) Tie the importance of excellent customer service to tough business times, (3) Identify ways to consider excellent customer service and note examples of how we encounter such service, and (4) Meet the challenge to examine ways we can give excellent customer service by going beyond “just what we need to do for the job”.00:30:00SylviaHnobusiness,communication,customer service,motivation,successExcellent customer service has become a common phrase repeatedly ignored.

Whether at work, play, civic, medical, or other appointments, we have time milestones to meet. Yet how many times are we actually “on time”? In this segment you receive a specific process for being on time more often and with greater success. You hear why being on time is important, how I learned a surefire process for being on time, and a step-by-step procedure you can implement to ensure that you, too, show up on time. Pass this audio program along to someone else you know who seems to have an “on time” issue. You can say that I made you do it!

One of these success practices involves creating a “life success” list. Sylvia Henderson is a motorcyclist who uses motorcycle analogies in her business and life skills programs and writings. Her analogy to a life success list is a motorcycle tank bag. In this program you will: - Learn the concept of a life success list, - Discover the analogy of a motorcycle tank bag to a life success list, - Relate success theories to your own life practices, and - Begin (or continue to maintain) your own life success list using a life success list tool you can adapt to your own style and needs, to ensure YOUR tank bag remains half full.

Is Your Business (or Life) Where You Thought It Would Be?(PART 2 of a 2-part program series) This segment continues where the previous Part 1 segment left off. Where does the time go? We often say this when we look back over the past week / month / year / lifetime and realize we did not accomplish what we thought we would accomplish. Why is that? And what can we do about it while there is "still time"? This program series causes you to review your goals and plans - whether business or personal - for the current year, reflect on what you have achieved against your plans, identify what can be accomplished in the remaining days of the current (calendar) year, and set in motion planning for the new / coming year. It serves as an end-of-calendar-year or mid-fiscal-year checkpoint and reminder for working ON your business and life rather than IN. Focus is on year-end planning other than taxes and finances, though the results of evaluating specific goals achieved may lead to action items in the tax and finance realm of an individual business.

These words also indicate we are trying to make decisions. With the hyper-information overload technology affords us we get stuck in the muck of too many alternatives to handle.

Government agencies among other groups send RFPs (Requests for Proposals) to vendors, contractors, and other entities for upcoming work and projects for which they need competitive bids. Responders develop proposals, based on criteria identified within the RFPs, for how they plan to fulfill the work requirements and how much they will charge for doing so. Anyone who experiences this process knows how resource-intensive it can be, how disappointing it is to not be chosen to perform the work after expending resources to respond, and how exhilarating it is to win a contract. In this program Sylvia provides pointers to position you to more-positively respond—for profitable results—to proposals based on her business experiences (both successful and otherwise).00:30:00SylviaHnobusiness,communication,professional,motivation,successYes, “RFP” means what you think it means if you’ve had any experience with government contracts—whether federal, state, local, or otherwise.
