Comment on Why your online photo matters by Mark Mackenzie

Hi Marc, I just couldn't resist commenting! I felt this blog post was written directly to me. Since going to Tony Robbins - UPW I have over come my fear that a new photo would bring unwanted Holleywood attention with movie offers and I have taken your advice and updated my photo!

A great article. I have been saying this for years. But because my company offers branding for small businesses plus imagery, they think I’m just trying to get them to spend more money with me unnecessarily. I have heard experienced many situations where potential clients have opted to have their friend/brother/sister-in-law/neighbor take photos for them to put on their website because they were free. And although I have counseled them on the need to make sure their messaging for their brand is consistent even throughout their image choices, they still opt for “free”.

Thanks for posting. And I hope you’ll stop by and check out my facebook page.

Comment on Employees: Are You An Asset Or A Liability? by Brigitte Welsh

I couldn’t agree more. I am definitely the first person you described. I am always driven by the challenge which in turn makes me try it first before saying that I can’t. Most of the time though, I get passed through it. All because I worked hard. But if I can’t do it, I’d give it a last push before really giving up. It’s not always easy but today’s technology is making it possible.

Comment on 5 Ways Women Sabotage Success: Some Solutions by Alison

As a woman I want to help promote and lift the profile of female sports coaches. I was asked to commentate this year in January on fox sports and the reason why I got the opportunity without any training in commentating and literally learning as I went along was because they were so few female presenters it gave me the chance to get my foot in the door! It was great for me

Great advice Marc,

outperform and outproduce are excellent tickets to a better position. The same applies to clients. Deliver more than they expected and impress; this generally leads to more opportunities.

Comment on Verbal Vomit by Ray Keefe

As a technical person i have foudn that I can sometimes have the same problem with overuse of technical words and TLAs (is that Two Letter Acronym or Three Letter Acronymn?).

So this is good advice fom several perspectives. People also feel more confident when you explain it in terms that make sense and can be understood by everyone.

As an example, we are designing some new metering products for a company that sells plumbing products. I had to explain to them why networking cables need to be terminated properly if they wanted them to work correctly (or even at all). The analogy I was able to use was Water Hammer. Terminating a communications cable correctly is like water hammer, with the electrical pulses rushing up and down the cable and interferring with everything just like water rushes up and down a pipe when you turn the tap off too quickly and you don’t have any damping or anti-hammer devices installed. There are only 2 solutions, turn off the taps slowly and carefully or use an anti-hammer device. Networking is the same, go really slow or put in terminators (the equivalent of anti-hammer devices).

Of course it helps that cables look like pipes. I can almost imagine the plumbers thinking of the electronics like water flowing through the cables. And from one perspective, they would be right. But wave-particle duality is beyond the scope of this reply.
