There are thousands of options out there in different makes, models, sizes, colours, speeds and qualities. Each man with their own unique car-of-their-dreams differs from the next. Have you ever noticed that cars can really “suit” their drivers? This is because people pick out things they fancy based on their personality. It’s what appeals to their totality of qualities, traits, characte Discount shopping: best bang for your buck?Whether you’re out shopping for a specific occasion, or to update your wardrobe – advertisers make sure to lure you in many different directions. Remember – fashion is a business and a huge money maker. Many clients I speak with are quick to admit that they love the inexpensive clothing stores. “You get so much more clothing, for a fraction of the price!” – is what statement echoes most frequently. Do your clients rave your the best?The rat race – most of us are a part of it. People are constantly striving for the new ‘edge’ in business – that certain something that will make them stand out a little bit more than their competitor. Many small businesses put so much money into marketing in hopes of obtaining their next big sale, and then end up really upset when their efforts fall short. But is it all worth it? Are we getting any wiser, or making our jobs any easier? Cell Phones: the new form of rude?Every meeting, networking event, or lecture I give; these phones are present. But, as a society are we now too dependent on our blackberry’s? Although they assist us in becoming incredibly efficient, they are also becoming the new “faux pas” with etiquette and credibility in our business and personal lives. Do you know when you’re snubbing someone? Email Etiquette - do you know it?E-mails, one of the many ways we now communicate to one another. They are sent worldwide to everyone we know all just with the simple click of a button. We send letters, notes, contracts, attachments, updates, jokes, and chain mails. It’s become more popular than the telephone in many ways. With tonality being taken out of the equation and being left with merely the words we type; it’s crucial to ensure you come across with warmth, etiquette and class. Do you know how you are perceived in your e-mails? Credibility: No Longer Just What You Get in School?Times are changing; technology is advancing and communicating is easier than ever. We are constantly stimulated by thousands of images a day that are pulling us in every direction. We have been trained to make snap decisions without much thought based on what does or does not visually appeal to us. This is why now, more than ever, it’s so important to watch what we communicate about ourselves to others. What's in Your Closet?Do you have lots of clothing in your closet but feel you have nothing to wear? Most of my clients answer “yes” to this question. Each and everyone one of us from CEO’s to stay at home parents have been faced with this dilemma. Yet, most people rarely take the time out to find what’s required in order to have a well balanced wardrobe. Job InterviewsHow to get through the interview process with excellence!
