The Waiting Room: Part 2 – ‘Hurry Up’!

Alison Clark — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 10:40:39 +0100

It’s a cliché to say that we live in a speeded-up world. IT systems and internet connections are marketed for their speed. We tap our fingers impatiently on the desk if the PC is running slowly or we’re forced to use an older model. Used to a state of the art service station, we fidget at the traffic lights or fret if we have to fill up at an older slower pump. And the difference will likely be only a few minutes.

The Waiting Room: Part 1 – a practical approach

Alison Clark — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 09:18:34 +0100

A waiting room: perhaps you imagine a perspex enclosed space with rows of metal seats on a station platform. A bit chilly, boring, sterile devoid of stimulation. It may be the dentist or the doctor you think of. Recently I passed the windows of the GP practice I attended as a child and was astonished to recognise the drab walls and brown chairs. I could only hope the magazines weren't half a century out of date! Some waiting spaces however are decorated with pictures, have comfortable seating and play corners for children.

How to conquer our fear of failure

figgy312 — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 15:59:19 +0000

Our fear of failure is probably the single greatest obstacle to success in our adult lives. We become totally preoccupied with not making a mistake and with seeking approval. The fear of failure is expressed in the words "I can't." We feel it in a physical way by the rapid beating of the heart, rapid breathing and a tight throat. We also experience this in the irresistible need to run to the loo.

Rambo 4 - A message in the Hype!

ThePeaceMan — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 15:37:31 +0000

Yes, February sees the return of John Rambo to the big screen.

The trailer is on YouTube. Interestingly the trailer includes a very

famous quote which is well worth the 22 seconds it takes to hear

even if you are too busy to see the whole 3mins 30secs clip about

the movie.

Calling all Grumpy Old ....

ThePeaceMan — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 11:07:26 +0000

You may have seen the TV programmes “Grumpy old Men” or “Grumpy old Women”. With that programme idea as a backdrop, I’m doing some research to see if there are any "Networkers" who want to get on their soap box and share their “pet grumbles” about our passion for Networking.

New Year - New You?

suedonnelly — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 16:51:52 +0000

Christmas will soon be here and with it the parties, excitement and change of routine. But it won't be long until we find ourselves back on the treadmill of our normal, every day lives. Each January, I greet the onslaught of a new year, and the resolutions that go with it, with a mixture of dread and anticipation.

Last week I was delighted when an author I'd met last year at an event found my blog and got in touch. It's lovely to be supported by friends and contacts and to have their comments. It's a different kind of excitement when someone picks up on your blog and responds.   Today's blog features Amnesty International at the Edinburgh book festival

How To 'Read' A Book In Less Than 10 Minutes

Barbara Buffton — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 17:55:23 +0100

Wouldn't it be great if you could get from a book what you
want in less than 10 minutes? (I'm talking here about non-
fiction rather than those fiction books which you want to
take your time over!). How much time might you save? How
many more books could you then read?

You could of course go on a speed-reading or photo-reading
course, which teaches you to read faster or to skim read,
but if you can't afford the time or the money to do that
right now, read on for some handy tips:

Change Your Words, Change Your Perspective

Barbara Buffton — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 17:49:41 +0100

When I was researching what to write for my new website, I
came across examples of how people present themselves
differently to how we might think.

For example, Tesco's doesn't call itself a supplier but
rather 'a buyer on behalf of our customers.' That small
difference in words is a major difference in perspective -
it changes from pushing people to accept what you offer to
pulling people towards you because you have what they want.

Well, first of all, I turned the radio and computer off!
