How To Use The Power Of A Smile - Have you ever noticed how the word "smile" assumes the position of a smile on your face right after it has been pronounced? The same is true with a grin or a grouch. Much of the words in the English language or perhaps in other languages of the world assume the facial expressions of the person pronouncing them. Perhaps this is how words came into existence. What kind of difference can a smile make? In spite of its simplicity and spontaneity, a smile can make all the difference. It creates an atmosphere. Admittedly, a frown can likewise create an atmosphere. The question now is this: "Which is more preferable?" An atmosphere of dissent brought about by frowning can bring conflict and unfriendliness, while a smile can create unity and camaraderie. Bomb! Ten Easy Steps to Blow Up Your Next Big Presentation - Guaranteed! - Your next presentation is just around the corner. To ensure devastating impact, just follow these ten steps and watch your career catch fire. 1. Avoid Excessive Research Research is for geeks and bookworms. Do you really want to bore your audience with a bunch of statistics and facts that they can easily get from the library or from Google? You want to tell people your version of how things work, not someone else's ideas that have been posted all over the Internet already. 2. Be Spontaneous Preparation and rehearsals are for amateurs, or actors. By practicing your presentation you only sabotage your chances for spontaneity. Just scribble down a few notes and stuff them in your pocket in case you need them for reference. This allows you to improvise as you go, keeping your talk lively and interesting. People hate predictability. The Language of SuccessÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚Â¢ - Listening to Your Parents May Be Bad for Business - Copyright 2006 Ike Krieger When we were young children, our parents were the most powerful figures in the universe. When a parent talked, we listened. Or at least we were supposed to. Parents are a bridge between generations. Parents are supposed to hand down valuable teachings and cultural guidance. Unfortunately, most parents don't teach their children the language of business. The Language of SuccessÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚Â¢ Series - We're All in Sales - Are you in sales? You may not think you sell for a living, yet the answer to the question is probably, "Yes." Whether your business success revolves around bringing in more clients, receiving quality referrals, or actually closing more deals... you're in sales, and just like the rest of us, you're selling all the time.

The Language of SuccessÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚Â¢ - A Different Way to Profit from Your Business - What comes to mind when you see or hear the word profit? I'm a member of a couple of sales and marketing related discussion groups and I host one of my own. The discussions cover a wide range of issues, but invariably the conversation turns to subjects that seem to press certain hot buttons. Prepositions Tell Relationship - While I do not recall all the grammar I learned in school, I do remember that the preposition was viewed as a lowly part of speech. I personally think that it is a very important part of speech because it shows relationship. In more recent times, I have often been faced with several games that trainers play to further reinforce the unimportance of the preposition. One game is a neatly-typed paragraph on an overhead slide with "of" at the end of one line and repeated at the beginning of the next line, with the question coming from the trainer, "what's wrong with this paragraph? The Language of SuccessÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚Â¢ - A New Way to Talk About Your Business - Some people have the "magic touch" when it comes to creating relationships and new business opportunities. Others seem to struggle. What sets the two camps apart? It's the way we communicate and the language we use. Some people seem to have the knack for effective business communications like networking, sales, or customer relations. For the rest, it seems that there's a rather steep learning curve standing in the way of consistent and predictable interpersonal communication effectiveness. That's a mouthful, so let's look at it like this. We want to be able to say the right thing... or ask the right question at the right time. Just think... Teaching The Latin Language In High School - Latin was the language of the Roman Empire. All of the Romance languages, including French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian, are directly descended from this native tongue. Our own English language is heavily influenced by roots from the Latin Language (as many as 80 percent of our language can be traced to Latin). Today, Ecclesiastical Latin is the official language of the Roman Catholic Church and the Vatican. With so much influence on our own language coming from Latin, it is surprising that students are not encouraged to study it in high school and college. Though considered a "dead language", Latin education can actually help students improve English grammar, as well as provide a historical foundation for their educations. Today, Latin is taught primarily for the purpose of translating ancient literature. It is not really taught conversationally. What Is Body Language(R) - Have you heard of the word Body English?
