		<description><![CDATA[Assembling a team can be challenging when team members have different backgrounds, unique personal agendas, and unrelated methodologies.  If it is difficult to get busy people to sit at the same table, it can be much more challenging to get a team emotionally centered.  Here are 5 Cool Ideas to get teams started. 

5 Cool Ideas to Get Teams Started 

1.  A meaningful quote can provide solidarity and purpose. 

We know that a picture is worth a thousand words, but what is a word worth?  Well, a word can be invaluable if it helps center a team on a theme.  A special word can unify and educate.  Introduce a word every day and over time, people will increase their vocabularies.  Share a combination of words like a quote or a song lyric to cultivate passion and a sense of team spirit. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everyone has the ability to be great.  In fact, greatness is probably the most natural of all achievements.  So why don't more of us achieve greatness?  One reason is that we get in our own way.  Another reason is that we often don't receive the right amount of encouragement.

Here are the top ten excuses for not being great, along with some quick  advice on how you can achieve greatness.

Top 10 excuses for not being great


1. You don’t know how.

Huh? You’re kidding, right? You don’t know how to do something? I have one word for you: Google.

Need a book? Your public library has thousands and you won’t have to wait in line because nobody goes there.

Need tutelage? Hire a coach.

Information is more accessible now than any other point in history and most of it is free. Get good at accessing what you need to know. It’s your ticket to greatness.


2. You don’t know the right people.

As with information, people are more accessible than ever before. Nearly anyone you need to know can be found on Twitter, Facebook, or Linkedin.

Make yourself a little more available and you’re half way there.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Peter Falk, who played one of television’s greatest characters, passed away last week, but not before giving salespeople one of the greatest closing techniques of all time.

Falk played Lt. Columbo, a bumbling police detective so unusual, he didn’t need a first name.  Columbo was a true original, a slow-moving, hunched over man wearing a rumpled raincoat and carrying a stogie.

Columbo never seemed to know which way was up—until he solved the crime, usually by tricking the perpetrator into talking too much.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are two types of people using social media.

The first type likes to mosey through a do-it-yourself program.  It's a comfortable pace and they have a lot of fun.

The second type is always thirsty for ways to get practical tips that save time and produce revenue.  This group also has a lot of fun, but they also find ways to build brands and make money.

The latter group likes to "Facebook with purpose" and these are the folks who tend to seek me out for help.]]></description>

But what's the second most important Web site for your business?  I'll give you a hint.

Good or bad, true or false, it's always good to know what customers are thinking.  That's why I love it when clients tell me what they think of my work.  Often, the client will prepare an executive summary for his boss and cc me, which is pretty cool. 

Here's what my client Frank, sent his boss and his team, after I did a sales training program for his team in southern California a while back:]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of my "tricks" involves re-purposing content.  It's a useful technique for anyone who works as a leader or supervisor, salesperson, customer service rep or whatever.

When you re-purpose your great content, your information becomes accessible to more people in more convenient ways.  When your relevant content shows up in multiple places, YOU become more familiar, and people start thinking of you as an industry expert.  Pretty cool!]]></description>
