Avoiding Death by PowerPoint!
by Shalu Wasu
I must say that I am equally fed up of the numerous ‘rules for making presentations’ that we stumble across every few days either in a presentation or on the net. When you google ‘rules for making presentations’, you get more than 8 million results! Most of them are standard clichés that irk me no end. So I have created my own set of presentation rules. I follow my rules to the last detail and I have rarely been disappointed. I implore you, urge you and beg you to follow my rules as well. |

All You Have To Do Is Ask
by Axee
We do communicate silently, within our minds in search of the best answers to the best of our capability.
If we succeed, we act and enact that thought into action. If we do not succeed we move on and drop that thought. As a result we fail to act on that impulse. In the bargain, we lose several ideas that may otherwise have turned into lucrative results as possible opportunities. |

Deep Listening
by Nithya Shanti
This is the simplest and fastest change we can make to become a more skilled listener. In conversations with others, we can directly observe who’s doing most of the talking. If it is someone else then that is a good start. |

The Weapon Called Ridicule
by PK
This style of belittling others is a quaint little habit. You will notice it is a regular habit in some people. Their persona is wrapped around it. It is impossible to make a statement or ask these people anything and it becomes an opening for them to show their wit rather than answer the question in a down-to-earth way or give a plain unadorned answer. |

Clothes Can Make or Mar You
by June Tan
We all know that when a speaker gives an address on stage, his or her choice of clothing is not whatever that was pulled out instantly from the wardrobe. In today’s business arena, image is everything and what a speaker wears is crucial to that image. |

The gratitude attitude
by Eric Garner
Gratitude is one of the most powerful forces in the universe. It may not look as good as money, a big car, a palatial house, or the latest makeover – in fact, you can’t see it at all – but, as I’m going to show you, gratitude has more power t... |

Do you face all disagreements the same way?
by Rachana Sharma
I do not agree. Whenever we hear these words the appropriateness of our thoughts comes into question. Mostly we react to disagreements the same way regardless of the source of their origination. We do not realize that it is fruitless to try to sort... |

Love is an action verb!
by Guest Tickler
I love you! These three words mean so much...some of the time. At other times, they can merely be hollow words with nothing evident in sight to back them up.
What they often mean is "I love you as long as I get that warm fuzzy feeling inside w... |

Texting Too Loud to Hear
by Guest Tickler
Don't make the mistake of assuming your employees are good communicators. Just because you trained them on what to say doesn't mean they know how to say it. There's a mighty fine line between efficient and rude. Caring is what people want. |

It has been rightly said that this world is a mirror. It reflects back our inner/true reality to us. As within, so without. Everything in our life; our job, our economic condition, our dwellings, and the people in our life reflect one or the other aspect of our reality. |

Communication is complete only when it is registered by the receiver!
by PK
As it is, humans are known to be bad listeners. We are so occupied with saying our piece that our ears are perennially switched off. So we have this lovely scenario where everyone is yapping away but there is little or no attempt to ensure that it is all registering at the other end. And this is precisely the point I wish to make. |
