Added for You - The Power of Reflection
Most consumers don't have the time or the resources to turn the tide in their favor when dealing with an unscrupulous company. The growth of internet usage over the years has helped shift this tide with the aid of free online consumer resources. As more consumers hit the web to research a product or company before making a purchase, a company’s online reputation is becoming more important than ever.The following are good starting points for researching before you buy, or if you need help in getting a dispute resolved with a company:Better Business Bureau – The BBB.org is probably the most co
The colours you choose to represent your business can say a lot, so are you sure the ones you’ve used in your designs are saying the right things? Certain colours are naturally associated with particular industries. Green for “green” companies or environmentally friendly associations, Blue is used for water companies or legal/financial businesses, and I guarantee Purple makes you think of chocolate! But what about the rest of them……… Red say’s powerful, passion, love, heat & strength. Virgin, Vodafone and Coca Cola all rely on Red to stand out. It’s easy to remember these comp
Mirrors are useful tools in our day. In a short amount of reflection time we get information about ourselves that helps us have a more successful and enjoyable day. Most of us would miss having a mirror around, and some perhaps wouldn’t think they could live without one.
It puzzles me that while we use the power of reflection with a mirror as our tool; too few of us, far too infrequently use the greater powers that reflection can bring to our lives for much greater good. In other words we use a mirror to improve our outward appearance, but may not use the reflection tools that will improve us from the inside – in our minds and behaviors.
As professional and individuals who want to make a difference, reach our goals, achieve more, to in fact, unleash our potential, we need to be continuous learners. And to be the most effective continuous learners, we must learn to harness the power of reflection.
Our Experiences With “Learning”
Most of our deep beliefs and ideas about learning come from our school experiences. In school, for the most part, reflection didn’t play much of a role in the learning process. We were always learning the next thing, solving the next kind of problem. Rarely were we asked to look back and review our experiences to help us improve or learn more in the future
I will give email communication the respect and value it deserves as a quick, acceptable and reliable form of internet communication.I will reply to an email within 24 hours or sooner, even if the reply consists of a few words (i.e. Great, Thanks, Sorry, Yes, No, Call me, etc.).I will use spell check and I will reread my emails prior to hitting the send button; because I understand that my email communications are a reflection on me.I will refrain from using abbreviations and email slang in my work related emails.I will address the person by name whenever possible and when appropriate i

There is no surer guarantee of personal or business success than the power of belief. But belief is not something that happens to you. It is a conscious choice you make and, when combined with knowledge of what you do best, it gives you unshakeable confidence and profound focus.One of the key character traits of entrepreneurs is the power of belief grown from self-knowledge and the ability to understand the world of the problems they seek to solve. Entrepreneurs are no less risk-averse than anybody else. The difference is they choose their responses to the uncertainty of launching a new venture.We al

Strong leaders understand that to successfully lead others they must first be able to successfully lead their own lives. Being the leader of your life takes the following: self-awareness, humility, maturity, self-confidence, and objectivity. It also takes the ability to receive criticism from others and accept that you may not always be right or may not always have the best answer. Most of all there must be an openness to learn and change.Here are seven things you can focus on to lead yourself first:1. Balance external forces with your own internal thoughts – Too often we allow external forces to

What sort of things should you consider? What do you want your employee to do? Is the expense of an employee, or you going to make more money, or is it going to cost you more in the end? These are some of the questions you are going to have to ask yourself before you decide to add to your workforce.Here are 4 things you should consider before you decide to hire:Cost vs. Profit – Having an employee can certainly increase your production, and even help you make more sales. But, it is important to consider whether an employee – with wages and expenses – is going to warrant the added expense in a growth
Because, of this training and experience, that is how many people walk through their lives. The do some work, get a result, and move onto the next task or event, without looking back at what they did to see what they learned.
It is this type of reflection that I am speaking of: a process of systematically thinking, and perhaps writing about what happened, with the goal of transforming the experience into knowledge that can be used in all sorts of future situations.
How to Do It
In its simplest form, reflecting is just thinking about what happened. Reflection doesn’t mean looking for blame or looking for regrets. It will be most valuable when it is an observation of events and their results. In general, your reflection will be most valuable to you when you think about and answer these types of questions:
• What happened (both the process and the end results)?
• How did I feel about it?
• Why did it happen that way (what contributed to the results)?
• How does this remind me of other situations?
• What will I now do differently in the future?
These questions form the backbone of effective reflective learning. They help us look a
