Words Matter Words Matter Posted on Fri, Jun 14, 2013 Recently, I was caught up in a heated debate about word choices. We must have spent 20 minutes deciding thumbs up or down on a word that would resonate for customers but draw skepticism from their technical team. Some of you are old enough to remember asking mom or dad, "What does that word mean?" Business communication requires a similar approach. There are 18,457 bestsellers on communication between the sexes. A couple of years ago, Towers Watson surveyed 328 organizations with five million employees. As one of my mentors once said, "If you control the language, you control the conversation."
America’s 50 Worst Charities Rake in Nearly $1 Billion for Corporate Fundraisers Kris Hundley and Kendall Taggart | Tampabay | June 11th 2013 The worst charity in America operates from a metal warehouse behind a gas station in Holiday. Every year, Kids Wish Network raises millions of dollars in donations in the name of dying children and their families. Every year, it spends less than 3 cents on the dollar helping kids. Most of the rest gets diverted to enrich the charity’s operators and the for-profit companies Kids Wish hires to drum up donations. In the past decade alone, Kids Wish has channeled nearly $110 million donated for sick children to its corporate solicitors. No charity in the nation has siphoned more money away from the needy over a longer period of time. But Kids Wish is not an isolated case, a yearlong investigation by the Tampa Bay Times and The Center for Investigative Reporting has found. Using state and federal records, the Times and CIR identified nearly 6,000 charities that have chosen to pay for-profit companies to raise their donations.

The 8 Habits of Highly Productive People by Celes on Dec 2, 2010 | ShareThis Email This Post What do you define as a “productive” person? Is it the ability to robotically churn out work, hour after hour? Before we can discuss what makes a productive person, we should first define what productivity is. For example, let’s say Peter types very fast and can reply 1000 emails a day. The past few months have been my most productive months for the year. At the same time, I’ve also been managing other work, such as 1-1 coaching with clients (I’m handling about 5-6 clients on average at each time), administrative aspects of the business, writing Personal Excellence articles/guest posts, maintaining the site, etc. A few days ago I finished designing my lineup of workshops next year, and earlier this week I conceptualized the idea for a new book. I think productivity is really how you manage yourself, and the habits you practice. Habit 1: Ruthlessly cut away the unimportant (and Focus on the important) Habit 2: Allocate breaks strategically
The Internet’s destroying work — and turning the old middle class into the new proletariat An executive at an up-and-coming start-up settles into a cross-country flight. After the unthinkable torture of the ban on electronic devices ends, she pulls out her tablet, connects to Wi-Fi, and reviews her to-do list: Cancel cable TV service. Make dinner reservations at that annoying restaurant that doesn’t use Open Table. But no worries! Fancy Hands — “Do What You Love — We’ll Do The Rest” — is just one entrant in a growing cohort of companies that are outsourcing all kinds of humdrum work to the “cloud.” The best cloud labor start-ups have received plenty of laudatory press coverage and rave reviews from users. That’s progress — for the consumer of the service. There are no paid holidays, no sick days and no health benefits in this new “distributed workforce.” Is this the future of work? Fancy Hands is a close-to-perfect example of Packer’s thesis. Fancy Hands founder Ted Roden told me that his company often provides “a better opportunity than is offered locally. Sure.
