Next weeks Tuesdays webinar features James Knight.

James Knight discovered that even though we might appear to speak the same language that there are in fact 4 separate and distinct dialects each looking at and filtering the world through different eyes and ears.

Each of us speaks 1 dialect naturally, and that if we rely on just this one dialect that it means that we are unable to communicate effectively with 75% of the people that we come in contact with daily including family members, friends, business associates and clients.

James created a new way of communicating called iMA to help change peoples lives for the better.

iMA begins by identifying how a person wants to receive information, and then teaches you to modify and adapt the message in a way that is most likely to be understood.

By communicating on the other persons wavelength, and speaking in a way that the other person finds it easiest to listen to, communication, trust, and co-operation go up and stress and tension go down.

Even better news for us all is that James has agreed to be a guest NEXT TUESDAY 22nd May 2012. The event is FREE to attend. Here is the sign up page >>

Please note: Although we provide training as a virtual training department to several organisations. Anyone is welcome to attend.

“Remember the ice” is a whole way of thinking, speaking and writing.

We are NOT just talking the usual material that you may have seen before.

Bob is a global strategic alliance partner with BNI – Business Networking International.

Bob has a laugh-a-minute presentation with a serious side lined up for us. (I know because I have had a sneak preview of the slides…)

The text below is lifted straight from the BNI website

PPS – Remember the ice…

I should say at the outset that I know Lee and he is probably even more direct and forthright than I am…

Lee Duncan’s book features “22 growth blueprints” – All appropriate to small and medium sized business owners.

These “blueprints” covering everything from how to deal with theft by your staff, to dealing with your accounts to why most adverts don’t work.

We thought long and hard about asking Lee which to talk about – because he rarely does webinar appearances. We eventually decided to ask Lee to talk about

“How to make your business run without you”

Why?

Well, for most small business owners, when they are not there – at the place of work, at the office or in front of the computer, nothing happens. Their business stops.

Think about it for a second

This is like (or even worse than) owning a bad job.

YOU are the boss AND the workers at the same time.

You have no one to blame and have to do the strategy AND buy the stamps.

What could be better then, to listen to someone (like Lee) whose strategy and advice HAS actually caused clients to double their business.

The recording of this event will NOT be generally available. Lee is scaling down his public appearances. You are UNLIKELY to

For full details of this FREE webinar jump over to www.trainingwebinar.co.uk and get rid of information overload.

I learnt a lot from writing the book AND the resulting events.

I am pleased to say that I will NOT be following the same “plan” with my second book

“The only management book you will ever need”

That’s why, I have arranged for my friend Molly Rider to join me on a FREE webinar to show me where I went wrong.

Writing a book is a big thing right?

It absolutely is.

BUT If you combine it with another big thing – you have a recipe for disaster. I mean everyone knows the phrase “one thing at a time” don’t they?

I will share with you what I did wrong and Molly will tell us all what to do right.

If you are an author, a wannabe author, or if you work in the self publishing industry, you will want to be part of the free event.

(NO technical work is involved – we just want feedback on the content..)

What is it?
VAFB is a kind of search engine for virtual assistants on facebook.

HUH?

Well we kinda guessed that virtual assistants spend time on facebook. Some “legal” – preparing fan pages for clients, some “illegal” – playing on games and generally fiddling about.

So we figured that we created a place where all VA related FB stuff could be kept together.. Away from mafia wars…

It doesn’t make any sense?

With only a few sites and likes uploaded – it looks pretty threadbare.

BUT with more youtube videos – the facebook magic will take over…

What can go on there?

You can add

• YOUTUBE videos (be sure to add the YOUTUBE URL and NOT the shortening code).
• Photographs (graphics)
• Those cheesy motivational quotes that get passed around twitter and facebook.

What sort of content can be added?

Don’t forget that content must meet the facebook terms of service – so be sure to post anything you wouldn’t want your mum to see.

Other than that post away
