Kate Sweetman — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 22:29:48 -0500

How does it play out when women are finally at the point when they could “make it” – break through to the executive ranks? We all know that at that point, it is much less about smarts and experience – everyone has that – it is more about “fitting in.” That is the sum total of a lot of things, but surely in large measure about this whole gender thing.

The subtlety of leadership

Lynn Rohr — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 19:43:02 -0500

Time is quickening and many structures are folding. The way we do business is part of what is changing rapidly. I am noticing many subtleties lately; I am aware that I have to be more and more conscious of the old thoughts and patterns that have held me back in the past. In this current marketplace, it is vital that I recognize these before I act and choose to act from a place of strength and self esteem. To actually "be" more than do or to do after the "being".

Why write another book?

Generational issues, some might say, is a topic that’s been beaten to death. There are numerous books on the subject, and mine is one of many blogs out in cyberspace. Additionally, people can sign up for training sessions, bring in experts for team building, and in some cases, have a company strategy realigned to deal with the “issues.”

Leadership Code Meets Gender Science, Part III of 4 Parts

Kate Sweetman — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 16:53:14 -0500

The brain science described so far seems pretty clear: there are differences between the male brain and the female brain. The female brain generally has a larger communication center, larger emotional memory center, and has greater ability to read subtle cues in people’s faces and voices. The male brain generally is more compartmentalized, more focused. So what? Do these differences in fact translate into workplace dynamics that matter? To answer my most pressing question, do they in fact get in the way of women’s advancement as high level leaders?

Designing the Perfect Holiday Card for Your Business

Trynka Shineman — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 11:45:54 -0500

There’s no question that the holidays are a time for sharing and giving back to those that are most important to us. Making sure all friends and family receive gifts during this time can be a time-consuming task and during this shuffle, small business owners can easily forget some of the most important people in their lives – their customers. While it may seem like a minor detail, taking the effort to send a simple card wishing them well over the holidays can go a long way in developing long-term relationships with your customer base.
