What Kind of Workplace Future? by Nan S. Russell - Feb, 2009 In 1883, as soon as construction ended on the Brooklyn Bridge, the scams started. George C. Parker is credited with originating the idea of selling the Brooklyn Bridge, convincing people they could earn a fortune charging tolls for bridge access. Some erected traffic barriers even as Parker boasted he "sold the Brooklyn Bridge twice a week for years." Eventually he was sentenced to life in prison. Today we have our own Geor... |

It’s Not Easy For Students To Find A Good Job by Bob Roth - Jan, 2009 There are far too many college students who believe that it will be easy to find a good job after graduation. They think that they will simply submit ten or twelve resumes, take a few interviews and somebody will offer them a good paying job. These students are wrong.

Is Your First Impression Your Best Impression? by Valerie Sokolosky & Alice Adams - Jan, 2009 One one-thousand…two one-thousand…three one-thousand.

How Do You Handle Complaints? I Thought So... by Alice Adams - Jan, 2009 I don’t care how long you’ve been in the business or what a nice person you are. It doesn’t matter. Human nature causes all of us to have a problem when someone complains about us – what we didn’t do correctly…or what we did do that they didn’t like.

Class is Earned and Learned by Valerie Sokolosky - Jan, 2009 People notice more about you than you might think. One of my favorite clients shared, recently, that she was so appreciative of having a boss who walked his talk and was a leader everyone respected and enjoyed working for. “It’s the little things people notice and appreciate about him,” she explained. That conversation led me to think about some of the “little things” we can all do that reflect professionalism. Here are... |
