business coach for family businesses in westchester: HIRE SLOW FIRE FAST - 03/27/16 02:26 PM

That could be you next admin employee or agent.  Some of us may feel what the heck, I will find out soon enough.  That is correct but how much damage has been done?  If you have read Jim Collin’s book “Good to Great” you know about how companies become great companies. Collins surveyed companies and found that their greatness was not due to a special sauce or a great product but rather because of the people in the organization. It all starts with high quality, high performing people. Collins refers to this as getting the … (59 comments)

business coach for family businesses in westchester: SPEED NETWORKING CAN RE ENERGIZE YOUR NETWORK - 09/30/15 01:07 PM
I never liked the idea of speed networking.  But I have changed my mind.  I believe networking is about relationship building and I always wondered how that can be done with speed networking.  It can't by itself.  However, speed networking can fill your funnel quickly.
 
Yesterday, I attended a speed networking event at the Business Council of Westchester.  I talked with 10 people in 30 minutes and then everyone went into the next room for some lunch.
Aside from getting a sore throat I found it to be a very productive session.  That is because I developed a strategy before I went in.  … (30 comments)

business coach for family businesses in westchester: READY, SET, GO...WAIT - 12/21/14 12:51 PM
The three words Ready, Set, Go are familiar in many competitive sports such as track or swimming.  A swimmer needs to make the right dive at the start time or the momentum will be lost.  He must be prepared to leave the block at the very second of GO.

People can over analyze and … (20 comments)
